| Can't help but think that the financial state of clubs in professional rugby league is a total joke.
The respective owners should have their heads banged together.
It's all about survival of this fittest and without a BIG sugar daddy willing to put substantial sums of his own money in then the smaller clubs such as ours have no chance. I don't mean loan the money I really mean give it. Even with a full Newmarket, whenever that happens we will find it hard to compete with the likes of Wigan and Leeds.
I am a little tired of the situation at Wakefield and I honestly think if the club do go into administration again, then I'm done with it.

| Quote: Mable_Syrup "Isn't this a nothing story until something happens. The only good it does is fill column inches and give ammonia to use against the club. Pointless and unhelpful when the club is trying to get more sponsorship and sign players at this moment in time.'"
This.
We need everyone to get behind the club and turn Belle Vue into a capacity crowd next Friday and let the team hear how much this club means to the fans. Rumour such as this does not help. This is a great club and we have a good competitive team with the limited finances we have pushing the Super League champions all the way last night but also in the play offs last year.
Together we are stronger....

| My rational is that on balance the club will continue and reason for this is
that if it went down after glovers statement he would have been getting money under false pretence trading while insolvent so both him and Elson would go down.
therefore with his other business commitments it would be catastrophic for the club to cease trading after just coming out and saying everything is ok

Didn't see anything wrong with what you posted tbh.

I think it will too. The club has a determined owner who's business acumen must be stretched to the limit - hence my rant previously about the state of RL finances. I bet it's ten times harder running the club than WY Windows!

| Quote: El Rey "A newly registered poster said that a new company called JEAGFC was set up a few weeks back.
That poster (jeagfc) set up the account to post this info and has not visited us since.
The RFL may or may not be able to stop it happening but i'm sure they are trying to avoid it.
Could well be when the split for the 12 team comes we've made it easy for the RFL.'"
Not quite what I said, but I did advise that a new co had been established, quoting info that is in the public domain. I'd be surprised if the RFL allowed things to go that route, or at least allow the same people to run the club following the long list of CCJ's that have arisen.
Since I posted that information, not one but two Winding Up Petitions have been submitted suggesting to me that those in charge new what was coming.......

IF the fact that we are not in administration is all that keeps you coming, you might as well just go now.
When I started watching we had 3k crowds, just been bent over by Pearson and getting hammered every week - anything on top of that is a bonus for me - i'm loving the 8k crowds, challenging for playoffs and new stadium on the horizon.

| If people believe those rumour then why are you still spending money on club? Thats right because you care - just do your bit spending in the club shops and renewing season tickets and its all we can do. If we stop spreading the rumours it might make it abit easier to retain players etc.

Spirit is just short of 1m in debt , a pre-pack and admin looks to be on the cards unless rl block it happening. Thoughts????'"
Not sure i would read much if anything into the registered address..............its the address of the accountants that formed the company.

I would not say this news is good at all. Spirit of 1873 is currently facing a winding up order from HMRC www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/ ... -companies which is more than likely a tax bill! I really hope this gets sorted soon but once again I fear for the club.
No disrespect to AG but he has not run a rugby club before and does not have the deep pockets which is currently it appears the only way to run a club!

Point taken.
You have to admit though, for such a new company we do seem to be in a bit of a mess again, even without the problems caused by the Eric France money!
I think I have been a loyal supporter for over 50 years and really did see some hope for a bright future when AG took over. Not so sure now.
