Out of interest, is there a way of seeing whether forum members share an IP address? I think it could be interesting...

I think indeed there lies part of the problem GO, in more ways than one alledgedly

Only a moderator can view IP addresses

Your a mod ..Is anyone using two or more forum names to post

1/100 Yes

1000/1 no

On IP's I'd just add in a world of mobile devices the IP is no longer reliable. Most people using mobile devises with certain providers will have the same central IP.

There are of course more sophisticated programmes such as ThreatMetric that can guarantee a device ID but I doubt rlfans have this!!

Multiple usernames are used on RL fans and most are detectable and believe you me if someone needs to be traced it can be done .

So to guarantee full traceability you must have a device finger print solution..... Which has a high 90% strike rate.

I'd guarantee one thing if someone had the time RL fans would find it impossible to guarantee someone was using 2 aliases.

I have a lot of time for Andy and from reading his posts on here there is no doubt he has helped to build re newed optimism in the club , driven the feel good factor that fans allude to which in turn has contributed to the increase through the gates and in the corporate this year.

If Andy is no longer part of the board then IMO that will be a big loss.

However it is no secret that the club despite some prize money and with a FT operation to fund is still very much relliant on board room investment and i dont think there is any doubt that a significant amount of that will come from Dereks wallet. May be that is part of the problem I really do not know.

I do hope though that Andy and Derek can pick up the phone and agree a compromise as both are incredibly passionate about our club and both have worked hard to get it where it is now. We can not afford to un do it all at this stage.

Great post and fully agree

Andy isn't shown as a BOM in todays programme.

I was really hoping thinks could get sorted . Andy will be missed so much. It's gonna take someone special to take his place .

It was always going to happen. Once derek got involved there would only be one of two outcomes:-

1. Derek walks and leaves the rest to pick up the pieces
2. Derek fires the rest off (or the one's he wants to) after all he's the one funding the club.

Unfortunately andy's vision of a community owned club didn't come to fruition & probably never will. A rugby league club needs a money man (or women)

Well done derek. Super league here we come.

P.s. Andy you did a great marketing job.

Andy & his dad where in the North stand today cheering on the lads. RESPECT

Respect indeed.
