Reality of the situation is they need 70k now. Next seasons budgets have been approved by the RFL. Lots more info I'm sure will appear later

Thanks to all involved in bringing the forum to the world!!!

You can listen to the whole broadcast again now.

I missed bits and bats and I am trying to catch up as we speak!

Have they got a plan to make the 70k Derek?

yeah, thanks Mishmash (and whoever else)
Very interesting listen.

Seems Keith Freer seemed to have alot of it under control. The HMRC debt is not included in the figure I mentioned, but he is in negotiations with them to pay it next year. He has had several meetings with the RFL and hopefully they are advancing us a fair chunk of the 70k, which will be repaid next year and is included in next seasons budget. I suspect they need at least 30k from other sources to get us to the end of November.

In the next 7-10 days Keith is hoping to be able to say it is all sorted.

Thanks for the info Derek.

who was the bore talking about hostpital radio ect? thats hardly going to create any revenue for the club

Glad to be able to listen online - didn't make happy listening but great to know the club has plans for moving forward. Have e-mailed the ebay account to notify them of items I want to shift (I'll pay all postage costs). Joining LISA and the Lottery in a sec.

I remember doing a sponsored silence in the Steve Simms era to save our club (although I did actually ask for pepper during dinner). Hope to get out of the dark days again. I'm going to sign the hubby up too...he won't notice!

That was part of a presentation on how the club can widen it's appeal and awareness in the local community. There were some very good ideas in there actually and as was stated it all costs the club nothing.

It was Alan giving a deserved mention to the amount of work that Dave Parkinson does in terms of the match reports & broadcasts, all of which are a means of promoting the club and hopefully [ido[/i lead to increasing the revenue through the gate.

The Watcher is still trying to work out what Maurice said in the longest none question of the night....can anyone translate it from salesman speak to English ?

I think he basically said everyone should chuck in what they can afford.

Wasn't able to rush back from work in time in the end but followed on Twitter and read reports on here.

Teh situation is still obviously concerning but also now the feeling seems positive that its something that can be fixed. I'm very impressed with how open they were with the answers. Its still clearly a tough time but I am encouraged by tonights events.

Hope I sounded ok !!!, I was really nervous, but got Andy Burnham to join LISA and quite a few others.
Plus donations given to me I will get them processed tommorrow and then |LISA can give the Club the cheque.

Linda, you came across very well, you took your time and every word was understandable and made sense
