great post!

instead of us all arguing and bickering, lets work together and get leigh out this mess

What I am saying is that we have one major income stream available to us , that must be the main focus of our attention , everything else is just scratching the surface of our problems

We have a sports club , and we have a business , the sport cannot support the business , the business must support the sport

Also we are not a charity , and the more we behave like a charity the more like a charity we will become

4,000 paying spectators at every match will give us around £ 500,000 pounds of income per season , with other things like Lottery ,LISA and then extra spend on merchandise , central funding from the RFL would allow us to run at the max salary cap , run academies/scholarship and community programmes

It is not rocket science , but it wont just happen because we play in a shiney new stadium or have a good team on the pitch , it requires proper thought processes , time and hard work , these things do cost money , but it would be the best money ever spent

Are the rumored financial problems the reason you guys had to send Warrington their first-teamers back ?

Widnes will help, We will take chris Hill off your hands and not even charge you for it!!

Ok, On a serious note reading the things getting posted on here it looks like the LSV is going to kill your club the way they contributed to the death of genesis. Those figures getting posted by Starbug are pretty damn scary, Any idea on how many you would need through the gate to run at salary cap in this division without the academies and RFL requirements for SL?

At times like this i apreciate a little more how good HBC have been to the Vikings over the years.

Must admit I'd seen this floated about somewhere before the game.

What time will this be replayed

Well you have to pay their wages and they don`t come cheap, the Super League clubs charge you plenty for keeping their players fit for them.

Hang on a mo. The 'problem' with our Warrington D/C players is: -

Tyrone Mccarthy went to Wakefield on loan and is still there
Lee Mitchell went to Harlequins on loan and is still there
Matty Blythe missed the game through injury.
As did Rhys Evans, who broke his hand at York, last weekend

So, their omission was NOTHING to do with our financial position.

You don't always have to pay wages for dual reg players. It depends on the deal you do with the Superleague club.

Alans isnt a story though its fact

Heres the link on the i player

If that was the case why would we still be playing Tom Armstrong from Saints?

Must try Harder

Well I know how Basil feels lets hope that at close of play today we move forward.

We have a great team and a great coach and we fans must not throw this opportunity away.

We can do this we are Leythers not losers. This is the Cooperative Championship never forget it. Every fan can contribute just by turning up every week.

DC players incidentally cost our club £200 a game.
