| and tell the fans exactly what is going on.
Are we going to start on less points, will we lose players?
People say we should support the club and get season tickets which is far enough, but think the club should also be straight with the fans.

LoyalFan08 the club will be making a statement at the proper time. I cant see that being long. I fully expect something next week.
I have said this before but will keep saying it, we will not lose any players.
I believe we will have points deducted. Anything up to 9 points is what the RFL can dish out.
The club will be moving forward and with the new directors on board. I fully expect and fully believe the club will come out of this stronger than before.

| Losing points already? Blimey! Anyone'd think the RFL have a bias against non SL West Yorkshire clubs...
We'll struggle enough as it is, without any points deduction.
Back s to the wall, get behind the team, etc etc!

Jim, let's start separating the wheat from the chaff.....
What do you mean by "the new directors on board” Are Messrs Spencer and Farrar resigning? Are new people joining the said incumbents or are you referring to the new directors already appointed?
The problem as I see it is that the Club make an official announcement that the "Tax Man" has started proceedings to wind up the Club and we are all told not to worry Neville Chamberlainesque. OBVIOUSLY people will worry. People who are owed money will worry; people who were going to buy season tickets will hold back; sponsors will think twice before handing over money, employees will look towards other employment etc.
If there is no reason to worry, TELL US why and what the great plan is. Why the secrecy?
I know that the Club owe money to more than the tax man and that if they could, they would repay it. Are the club about to come into some money? On the EVIDENCE available, i.e. a statement from the Club, at this time I believe that the club will be put into administration to avoid having to pay monies owed and this will result in points deducted and/or relegation before the season starts, players leaving and fans deserting. If I’m wrong can someone come up with a half decent argument as to why.
Sorry GW but I don't buy into this "Emperors New Clothes" argument. The fans and the creditors deserve explanations, however vague.

| My two pennerthworth:
I discussed this issue with jim (guess who) on Thursday, and we both expressed our concerns about the situation. However, I agreed that for now we should do our best to help the club, along with giving as much info to the supporters as is possible at this moment in time. We do have to tread carefully.
However , as one supporter on here as quite rightly stated, this is an independent forum, so people will be allowed to air their concerns , as long as we stay clear of any libellous statements.
I would also add, and this is my opinion alone, that the club needs to clear up the picture this week, for it's own benefit and that of the fans. It won't take long for this to get around the town, and I'm sure it will be twisted in to several differing accounts.
So, they need to get a move on.

| FWIW
If they can't solve this "problem" this week then either one of two things seem to be the situation.
It's worse than originally stated
or it's trivial and should never have been mentioned until resolved!

5728.jpg [b]The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind
The kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing everyday that scares you.
Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Don’t waste your time on jealousy-sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes
you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself[/b]:5728.jpg |

You should do because this is correct
However I'll just keep my mouth shut in future, eh?

| We shall keep the faith. We can’t fairly criticise when we don’t know all the facts. It does the Club no favours.
We can’t help but worry. We are told, don’t worry, it will not affect our playing next season and we will be in a stronger position.
(As this is the message the Club is putting out, we have to accept this.)
I assume a stronger position will be with no fewer players or points deducted.

simpsons/simp048.gif I have only been wrong once and thats because I thought I was wrong but I was wrong I was right!
Petty authoritarians aren’t man enough to challenge the actions of a person face to face; instead they incite a forum of rumour, innuendo and half truths, and impose rude sanctions to discourage those who dare question fairness.

But this is a forum and like all clubs there are those out there who feel they have points to prove and scores to settle. No doubt they will be on here with sharpened knives and wagging fingers and the "I told you so's".
I just hope that whatever the issue is gets sorted out quickly, cleanly and fairly and the club (who ever they are) keep us informed.
Uncertainty at a time when fans should be spending xmas money on season tickets etc is not good.
The longer the silence the larger the yarn to fill it.
