I've bought a bottle of gin, just in case.

Please can the moderators confirm their position on Ricky's blatant admission of underage drinking

That would be great but I can't see it in a million years

Got to be optimistic! It's either that or get blind drunk!

I thought the Council owned the ground?

That's a lot of purple Fruit Shoot.

Hmm, 5 to 5 on a Friday.

Usual 'rushed and say nowt statement' o'clock isn't it?

they do. but RFL own the head lease which covers the coral stand so administrator can't sell that of for scrap.

The training facilities at Tong are either leased or rented . If it's the former, I doubt the lease will be a substantial addition to the assets. If it's rented it's worth nothing.

Sorry for been a fan of a club I support cos my old man use to play for Northern.

Wouldn't be that great IMO, probable huge points deduction and a severing of our history, not to mention the suppliers and hmrc getting totally screwed over and acqusations of favouritism again if we're allowed in the champ when really a new club should start at the bottom. Plus all the players and staff would need rehiring...nothing would be guaranteed. ER might not be implying that tbf but the longer this goes liquidation and restart must be more of a likely outcome than carrying on as a going concern?

Still hoping for a 11th hour miracle myself....
