I didn't realise Mark Sawyer still has that much of an interest in us still. Huge respect for the bloke for stepping in and helping us out, but on a long term basis you wouldn't think a chair of one club should be the single biggest shareholder in another surely.

Potential conflict of interests but that's Rugby League for you.

Considering Dewsbury's up and down fortunes you'd think their fans would be kicking up a stink about it.

Though as you say, huge respect for him helping us out.

He’s comfortably under 25% which seems be the “conflict” level.

But it does beg the question, why is he still a shareholder when most people would run a mile?

According to MG it will be announced who has got the lease in early July, I think he said 4th July.

red letter day in more ways than one.

I believe he said July 5th, i.e. the day after the General Election.

Whether that is relevant in any way or simply a co-incidence, I guess we will see...

Just been reading an article in the T&A https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/ ... gue-close/ about the odsal lease and any decision on who gets the lease now looks to be delayed, "until late summer". Does anyone know when the next IMG scoring is carried out? It looks like the club are ready to invest in the stadium to up our score, but will they have time with this decision being oushed back?

Wonder what the reason is for the delay? The RFL have a difficult decision to make (situation is their own making) but need to act rather than kick the can down the road.

A delay doesn't appear to be in anyone's best interests, but of course I'm not privy to what's going on in the background. But to hear that club has plans for improvement is very encouraging and even if the decision is delayed we appear to be taking account of different potential outcomes rather than relying on obtaining the lease, which given our history sounds refreshingly level headed.

Looks like we've got the lease. https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/od ... e-revealed

I would love to see a breakdown of how the £190k per annum is spent.

The council tax is £100k I believe. Whether that’s included or not, I don’t know. I would hope so

Don't know whether to be pleased or petrified by this?

That's a large outgoing to hang around our necks, but at least we have an asset again even if its one that few people want?
