i knew this was happening a couple od days ago but kept hush...it would have caused a backlash on here so kept quite.

great news, obviously the board have listened to the fans and done the obvious.

well done Wire

I think we could be looking for a new half back sooner rather than later.

To explain the situation.

RLFANS.COM is a free to access site which is run on a non-for-profit basis.

To enable the network to run for all, without the requirement for user subscriptions, there is a necessity to raise revenue to cover the not-insubstantial cost of the servers and various licenses required to keep the site alive.

We raise this revenue thanks to a number of kind and generous sponsors, without whom the site would have been closed down a number of years ago. These sponsors have paid for the right to advertise their services and products across the network and therefore have every right to be aggrieved if their competition advertise for free without censure.

Advertising is available to all, and at rlextremely reasonable ratesrl. Without these advertisers there would be no RLFANS.COM.

I hope that you can therefore understand why we have had to take the actions to remove non-sponsor advertisements.

Heres hoping.

And on that note I will lock this thread.

Free advertising?

Great news about Smith! Geordie...posting at half two?! We all knew by then
