Interesting Rimmer will be there, got to be some sort of RFL announcement

Even a broken clock is correct twice a day and all that. Frank used to be reliable. In the last 12 months, he's been about as accurate as Gledhill. A return to form is needed.

This.

I expect it to be another rallying call to boost season ticket sales.
Leon there as the wheeled out ex-player saying how important the fans are, and we must get behind the players.
RR there as spin doctor about how our future looks so bright.

That said; with the recent decent signings I am probably now 60:40 to buy a ST; but still a few loose ends to tie up; i.e. the ET, a coach, which league?

I can’t go. I hope someone gives Rimmer some s**t though.

Unless he is there to announce we are back in SL of course.

The only good thing I can see from Rimmer being there is if we're making a human sacrifice for a bit of luck next season.

Ouch



Ouch

I've been right more than I've been wrong, but the whole takeover piece led me, and all of us up the garden path, due to the intervention of the governing body - that might all come out in the wash who knows.

Anyhoo, this is a message board folks let's not take ourselves too seriously.

I don't know why Rimmer is coming on Thursday, but it's a very hastily arranged forum, it's just after the sharp end of the season and before the world cup, and he's not particularly well liked at Odsal - indeed he's the main proponent of the 'send em down' plan, even though the championship clubs want a restructure now.

Could be an interesting evening, could be codswallop - I happen to think the former.

It's probably Chris Barrie with an H on his forehead!

He'd be more popular than Hudders fan Ralph.

I'm still waiting for Junior Sa'u to line up for us Frank.

I think it's odd that Rimmer's going to be there. Odd too that Leon's there as well. If it's a rallying cry to get supporters to buy a season ticket then I think it'll fall flat unless there are some carrots to dangle.

Just confirming the fixture setup in League 1 could've been done by Chalmers so no idea why Rimmer would come to Odsal unless it's good news, but then if it was something big then wouldn't Nige do it instead?

As for Leon I'm wondering if he's going to be announced as joining the coaching staff in some capacity. Hopefully Chalmers hasn't fallen in to the trap of appointing a former legendary player as head coach.

Well I heard, that a certain Mr Chalmers and a certain Mr Wood were seen together in an establishment in East Bierley at the weekend having a good ole chat. Could be related, could be just a social event.

With Ralph coming to the fans forum on Thursday and we are all wondering why, shall we all have one guess as to why he will be there and come Thursday night lets see who is correct or closest. Maybe the admins could put up a small prize

I will start, my guess is Big Nige gets announced as new chief exec and we are not getting relegated (is that 2 guesses)

With The doctor as a backer??
that would be interesting..

Well a certain poster on here said he once saw Peter Hood snort the remains of a packet of dry roasted peanuts in the Craven Heifer but I had a few doubts.

My guess is that Ralph is there to answer any RFL related questions/structural changes. With him saying the RFL back the current owners and that the Bulls will be strong next season etc. Basically just being diplomatic with any RFL related questions.
