Seems one person came on here stirred and up the new owner rumour mill..

But hasn't ellaborated any further.

Same old same old.

Looks like we are stuck with limited prospects

Anyone remember back in 2002? When we'd be in position to finish a season and have NO major situations or dramas?

I miss those days

I was thinking that myself.
Someone comes on and starts with the words "I have been told" and then sits back and watches the pages tick over.
We see it time and again and people fall for it till someone else comes on starting with "I have heard from a reliable person" and it starts again.

Hasn't there been a recent quote from Chalmers saying he wanted/expected us in SL in 2 years?

Unfortunately when the communication from the club is so crap and no credible local media to ask questions of the club it leaves fans to try and fill in the gaps themselves. Invevitably that leads to speculation that is in some cases a load of old cobblers.

I've never felt so disconnected from the club that I've supported for 20 odd years. Yes we get it Chalmers/Jas you are not one for making big statements you cannot deliver. But give us a bloody clue what your hopes/plans are for the future. Even if that's a couple of scenarios dependant on where we end up finishing.

Care to ellaborate on previous statements redeverready?

I was just thinking that earlier

I've been a supporter, man and boy, for 50 years and I don't think I've ever felt as disconnected to the club as I do right now. I'm posting this in the (most likely) vain hope that someone, somewhere might read this thread and come to realise that the supporter base cannot be taken for granted indefinitely.

If your meaning me I never said new owners. I said we wouldn't go down and it might be Chalmers name on door but it's not him pulling strings,

Are we likely to ever be in a better position given the "string puller"?

Why does everyone have to talk in code?

This is Rugby League not a conspiracy to take over the world.

Its like Christmas 2016 all over again - rumour rumour rumour, up, down, up, down

Someone wake me up when its all sorted and I can start focusing on the game again rather than the politics

Just hoping there will be loan signings this week that will indicate a step in the right direction.Got the bones, but need the flesh on them.

Loan signings have given us a chance, in difficult circumstances from a standing start, but they're a double-edged sword as the absences of loanees have also cost us dear several times and will do again. One of our problems is our owners seem to either have no money for the sort of signings we all know we need, or no wish to spend it.

If you belive that's all because they "know" something nudge wink that means we are "safe" regardless of where we finish due to a top secret deal with RFL then we'll have to agree to differ because that sounds like wishful thinking or maybe horse to me.

The fact we are even thinking of questioning the ownership is not to be desired.This Club is a Family and as our previous recent owners betrayed our trust, the last thing we need is another dose of subterfuge. Shame, if it ever was. So, optimism is all we've got, belief..not so sure. Time will tell.

I would agree with this completely. I confess I'm not reading most of this thread as I got bored of the "I know something but I'm not telling" stuff, which I know people are just trying to help, but unless I'm going to be given facts, I'm not that interested.

But those posts are born out of the fact that there are no facts for us to go on. God awful communication, club totally ignoring most queries unless it's a total sh*tstorm like the away shirt debacle (and even then, totally fobbing people off). When there is "communication", it's usually website articles or social media posts that are either short with hardly any info, or totally pointless puff pieces, all of which appear to be written by someone who has English as their fourth language.

In the past I've always felt "part" of the the club. Not just a supporter, but a small part of a larger beast that are all together in the goals. Now, I turn up to a game every weekend, enjoy myself or laugh at how awful it is, then go home and forget about it again. Read the forums, read social media etc, but really aren't that interested any more. And that's largely down to a total lack of engagement. In fact, Provident are 100 times better at engaging with the fans than the club are. I knock him more than anyone, but even Gledhill is 50 times better at engaging with the fans than the club are. I appreciate they probably have other things to concentrate on, but ignore the fans for too long and you won't have many left.

There is no pointless story in the T & A today so you would think there is some signing news to show up in the sports section today..

I must admit I have been drawn into the new owner / RFL speculation myself and I think it is just wishful thinking that there is a light at the end of this god awful tunnel.

With regards to players been told they may be part time next year if we are relegated to C1 then this would have to be the case.

Lets see what today holds! there might be a flood of exciting announcements, then again maybe not.
