953.jpg 2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg |

| Press black out for 4 weeks. New anonymous investors. Millions to be invested over 5 years.
Press blackout, are they hiding something or do they just want to surprise and shock with their plans for spending their way out of the championship.

The chuck loadsa cash at it thing is an innovative new idea.
I hope, for the Featherstone's clubs sake, that they aren't spending money that doesn't exist or will be owed.

| lol. Not sure what to make of it myself to be honest.
To be fair though, we have scrimped and saved stayed and remained self sufficient, while putting out a winning team for 4 years and its got us Feck all.
So if it all comes off and we do buy our way out of the championship then so be it. Just worried what happens if we dont
Though I still remain cautious. See what 4 weeks brings

Yeah, we have gone from setting on Bastian with a view of building youth to play and sell, keeping us going for years. To hey let throw a bucket of cash at it.
If we buy the better young talent on the fringe of SL then great. Hope we dont start buying hasbeens.

Time will tell!
I hope it's not a smoke and mirrors job - I do worry for Fev as a club because the development potential for the land there has a tendency to attract business sharks who want their piece of the action.
Hopefully everyone involved is of honest intentions.

| Looking at the game on LCTV the new stand looks excellent. A good bit of planning. What I hope is that they have got investors who are developers and can see value of delivering a fantastic stadium and then developing the surrounding land into something like we have. But not at the cost of trashing the RL club. There are people out there who have those interests at heart. A great community Featherstone.

| I think they need to use some of their new investment to employ someone to write their press statements for them - that one is atrocious.

| I'm not sure that makes any sense at all. Once it became apparent that there were massive rewards for finishing in the top two, why didn't your board act immediately?
For what it's worth, I still think you'll finish in second place.

| Have to agree with Mish one hundred percent. Over the years Leigh have put out some some over passionate, unprofessional statements which just looked bitter. The new board have showed what being a professional, dignified and prudent club is all about. What on earth are Featherstone going on about in that statement? It comes across as though we have denied them something they have deserved for years. It's the RFL that blocked their path, not us. It's also their decision not to field a strong team at this time and "strike" towards the end.
I applaud new investment at any club, but please leave us out of your ridiculous press statements that seriously come across as throwing toys out of the pram, and reactive to two defeats against a very strong Leigh team that has been put together as part of a calculated plan to return to Super League on our merit.
Get a grip Featherstone.
