So the website says that Cake is looking forward to the visit of Sheffield. Twitter very quiet apart from tickets & a tackle haul from Parata but to be fair, 48 is a country mile behind Craig Taylor or Steelo. As well somebody was tackling I suppose.

Maybe they've all been abducted by aliens

They could at least proof read what they are writing before they make it public.

Apart from the nonsense on the 4th line about hosting Sheffield rather than Whitehaven, the 2nd line says that the gates will open at 14.00, directly contradicted by the 5th line which says, "Gates open at 1pm".

Jokers.

Indeed they are, but nobody's laughing!

Seems the club is being run by a skeleton staff. Lobster probably concentrating on hockey. Remember this... https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/lo ... edon-move/

I made the point last season that some of their outputs could do with a review before going live. I thought they had stepped up on this point. Sadly it seems there is still an issue. As before, it all goes to the feeling that the club is run by volunteers doing their best rather than people being paid. Not the end of the world but a bit of focus might be appropriate. And then there’s the website...I’m just not sure.

I am sure.
The club is owned by an idiot who used to pay peanuts to employ monkeys and who now refuses to pay peanuts so gets whomever feels like "helping out"
It really is sad that he thinks IMG will save us......maybe relegation to the third tier would be a blessing as I've no doubt he'd leave us to die peacefully.
IMG aren't mugs... they'll see the benefit of London club, but not one run by someone with a track record of abject failure

I fear, but it may of course be a relief that it will not be too long before we join the ranks of Acton & Willesden & Streatham & Mitcham in the history books.

History will not be kind to Hughes. Don't get me wrong, his investment has to be one of the biggest by an owner in RL history, but his failure in nearly aspect of managing that investment is his legacy.

IMG criteria make London a 2nd tier side at best. The emphasis on fan engagement and the associated fiscal stability is the opposite of Hughes last 15 years attitude of I pay, its my club, f34k the fans.
The stadium and catchment area we score well in, but performance, finances and Fandom <?> we get pummeled by many others.
If we are heading for the knackers yard, then trailfinders would have been fine, because Hughes could put adverts across London media offering free season tickets and he'd still not get his 5k guys, such is the damage he's done

Hughes has never understood what needed to be done. The criteria weightings are right though, clubs who have focused on building the fanbase, engaging with supporters and sustainable finances deserve to be rewarded. This is much harder than finding a stadium and just expecting people to rock up. The thing that annoys me most is that you only had to look at the club's own history to see what could work.
