| 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

| It'll be funny if you annoy Koukash by snapping up all the old RL lags before he gets a chance!

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.

| Fev are a great community club with passionate fans, I hope this is good news for those who have lived the dream for many decades and not the Type who seized our assets on their ambitions

| 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.

| good luck to them, if they are being invested in to the tune of millions then half or a quarter of a million wont make much difference so they don't need to panic so much about top 2, whatever its nowt to do with what we are doing as neither club can control what the other is up to off field.
Hopefully they carry on with a sustainable business which results in success. It seems to be our clubs plan to focus on stability and sustainability rather than get overly emotional about short term goals.
The ideal for me is to get at least 2 teams up into that top tier from the traditional championship clubs, and in reality thats probably fev, halifax and us with the best chance at the moment. It will take a good few years and if we can push each other on to be better all the more entertaining the games will be. cant say that the 3 games weve had so far against those other 2 havent been good encounters to watch.
long long way to go in this season yet and we have some almighty tough games coming up everything is still up for grabs for a lot of clubs.

| I didn't really follow the statement. It sounded like a bitter plea to SL and I'm sure from what they said they don't know the rules. Winning the league the last 4 years was never going to get them anywhere, that's why nobody ever bothered about it other than them lol.
Investment is fantastic, that said they've still got to work within a budget to get the squad on the pitch so from that point of the view nothing has changed in reality. Best of luck to them, but whoever writes their statements needs to give off a little more of a professional attitude rather than trying to sound like they've been so hard done by. Everyone below SL has been hard done by because of the previous structure, it's not like it was a problem only encountered by Featherstone Rovers.
