not this season no because odonnell has left and we had some spare but couldnt get a half back pre season.

but the intention was to spend upto the cap like all the other previous seasons recently

No money to spare as i said before what we havent used in wages will have gone to pay for other costs to take the pressure off Ken.

And we will get dispensations on the cap for players like Crabtree, Cudjoe, etc.

However what some people can't seem to grasp is that this doesn't mean we have "money spare". It just means we aren't spending money we don't have. I didn't buy a Bugatti Veyron yesterday. It doesn't mean I have a million quid spare.

getting a crowd of just over 5k for a home game regardless of opposition means we have no money spare and if it continues players will be leaving rather than joining.

Ken has done all he can and this year is make or break IMO. Need a teophy desperately this year but even that might not save us.

If we get to a final will be interesting to see what crowd turns up, was loads at Wembley and Twickenham before that but attendances in the league were pitiful.

Where do all these people come from on final day?

My lad plays for an U9 side that has 15 players signed on. Of those only two (including us) of those families have season tickets for giants - one support Leeds one support Bradford. (Trophy hunters) Of the remaining 11 families they don't go on a regular basis although they "support" the club and go to the odd game. Thats a lot of potential tickets to be sold.

when it was announced odonnell was leaving anderson said he will look into bringing someone in if the right player is available ..whether that be in the backs or the forwards if i remember rightly.

bit of cash spent on dwyer and we have since signed up a few under 19 players like leeming

I was told that some players will have to leave to balance the books so LOD's 'free' wages were probably a blessing in disguise for the club and i cant imagine any of it will go towards the playing side when the club needs funds to pay bills, other staff etc
