I'm sure Fev are still the favourites to finish in the top 2 anyway, after Leigh. It's between you and Sheffield IMO and on todays result you should be fine. Don't see how DR will help, especially not with Wakefield. Seems like a vote of no confidence in some of your current team which i'm not sure is justified considering you're second in the league.

Strange decision

What relationship did we have with Wire then Neil? I thought it was a DR one and that is why they could call their players back at any time.

We could take players from any club and did if you look at my post, in 2013 they moved the goalposts to Twinning and you become a child to the parent who was the only one allowed to feed you.

To be fair I don't think I ever saw a wire lad put in anything other than 100%. Blythe, Mitchell and McCarthy were all fans favourites from what I can remember in 2010.

I never said that they didn't and you forgot James Laithwaite.

.... And cough cough Mendika.

Ryan Shaw was bobbins though.

Rhys Evans did ok though.

If I was a Fev fan I'd be very disappointed, especially after that God awful statement was released . If what has been said on here is true then the only relevant part of the statement was "We ask our fans to allow club officials to do their work and embrace the changes and not to question their judgements but to live the dream."

Why not just come out and say "We want to be in the top two at any cost and if this is what we have to do then this is what we'll do."

Just had a very interesting conversation with someone regarding the Featherstone media blackout AND mystery investor.......

Go on...

The mystery investor is said to be Cath Hetherington from Wakefield who is putting in the money to get the stands finished. This is also the reason for the DR deal. The reason behind it all is that Wakefields lease at Belle Vue ends at the end of the season and it's looking likely that they will be evicted by the RBS who own the ground. This obviously leaves them with nowhere to play, hence the link up with Featherstone.

The cloak and dagger secrecy is said to be because of a possible 'conflict of interests' going forward into next year if both sides are in the middle 8 and CH is involved in both.

The lad who has furnished me with this info is a decent fella and been correct on many issues regarding Fev etc.

Well that'll certainly put the cat amongst the pigeons won't it? I can't imagine either set of fans being happy with that.

Bet Wakey fans won't be best pleased it it's true about the ground share.

Re the DC business I think Fev are being smart given how much money is available for the top two in the Championship this season.

Just as an aside at Fev last week' seemed to me both their 2 new stands where almost complete so I wouldn't have thought it would cost too much to finish them. I would not have thought they would need a Wakey Board member to put the money up to do that.

Maybe it will be Wakefield Rovers Doubt it myself although I am speculating' as I do these days before I go to bed' well' it stops me having to go to the bathroom.
