Egy: We're gettin' in through the underground heating system and up into the Rollin Shack. Having grabbed Bathy, we inform Carter and Minards that he is in our custody and forthwith issue our demands. Any questions?

Pimpy: What exactly are the demands?

Egy: We're giving them two days to sign the entire NRL winning side, rebuild the old south and west stands and make season tickets £5 and if they don't agree immediately, we execute him.

Pimpy: Cut his head off?

Popcake: What? They'll never agree to that, egy.

Egy: They've bled us red, white and blue. They've taken everything we had, and not just from us, from our fathers, and from our fathers' fathers.

Pimpy: And from our fathers' fathers' fathers.

Egy: And what have they ever given us in return?!

POPCAKE: The floodlights?

Egy: What?

Popcake: The floodlights

Egy: Oh. Yeah, yeah. They did give us those. Uh, that's true. Yeah.

Pimpy: And the new pitch.

Popcake: Oh, yeah, the floodlights, Egy. Remember what the lights used to be like?

Egy: Yeah. All right. I'll grant you the floodlights and the pitch are two things that carter and minards have done.

Pimpy: And the East Stand.

Egy: Well, yeah. Obviously the East Stand I mean, the East Stand goes without saying? But apart from the floodlights, the pitch, and the East Stand--

Ex players dad: new roof on the Rollin Shack.

Person that doesn't go to games: new car park.

All: Huh? Heh? Huh...

Lives in Aus: North Stand

All: Ohh...

Egy: Yeah, yeah. All right. Fair enough.

Popcake: saved the club from bankruptcy.

keyboard warrior: Top 5 finishes.

Pimpy: And we own the ground again, Egy.

Popcake: Yeah, and they certainly know how to balance the books.

Egy: All right, but apart from the floodlights, the pitch, the East Stand, new roof on the Rolin Shack, new car park, the North Stand, saved the club from bankruptcy, top 5 finishes and balanced the books, what have Carter and Minards ever done for us?

Popcake: Brought us a new owner and a future.

Egy: Oh. New owner? Shut up

I read BV Bobs post in a snarly Angela Raynor voice. Gotta move on people. Matthew has gone public. MC is no more. Let’s move on.

Yes it was a joke and hoped some may find it amusing. I Don't post normally as it all gets so personal so quickly.
My view is Ted gave us Super League and the flats but lost the ground. Glover gave us a North Stand roof but left us just about bankrupt.
Carter and Minards took us from a basket case to a point where we are a real prospect for any new owner as they don't have to think about the ground too much and the new stand will make money all year round.
They are by far the best of the three but people are still having a go at them even now.
I hope the new owner is good to his word but if not I think we still have a future as the new stand is here to stay. I will enjoy next year and many more to come as there will be rugby at Belle Vue thanks to the good foundations Carter and Minards built. I would prefer Super Leauge for 2025 but that was never 100% anyway.
That's me done. Hope you all have a good off season.

Thanks bv Bob, really enjoyed the first post which tickled me plus your last post sums it up perfectly for me. Apologies for becoming involved in the tit for tat which spoiled your original post.

Yuk!

Try not to think about it too much!
