Danny Kirmonds our prized asset

Thanks Michael . So fans once again time to get behind the club and be positive. great news re Danny too

Well, they probably won’t receive the same vitriol that a certain poster has been touting ever since Chase was rumoured to be off to Salford.

Good luck to ‘em I say, they were looking down the barrel very recently & now the future looks much brighter.

They must be nearing their overseas quota limit by now though?

Can't fault that statement. Lets back him. Ultimately its OUR team.

Best crowds for years and we still end up in a mess. Hopefully the new chairman can sort us out.

Sounds like Elston has been asked to move on?

Move down I think.

Elston if gave a job at the club should be in the beer bars because hes useless!!

The statement seems to answer most questions and if Elston is still in a job (shame on him for not having the dignity to fall on his sword) I hope he is at a level his skill deserve and is watched closely by those above him.
The chairman has said he has turned down a six figure offer for DK, but for this to be good long term we have to back the club.
Buy your STs buy your shirts, otherwise the next offer for our captain may not be able to be rebuked!!
Back your club!!

Got my ticket and I live in France.
Come on everyone else.

Can only agree with the majority....it's a sickener to lose your better players, but if it has to be done it has to be done......Smith was fantastic last year and has been a bit in and out this year......would have preferred him to stay, but you cannot turn down good money if we need the money like we do......

Us as fans HAVE to back the club in times like this.....the new Chairman certainly wouldn't have made a decision like this lightly.....he's every much a fan as much as the rest of us and knowing his sporting background, know for sure having to lose one of your better players would hurtand not what he would have wanted......he's put and lost his own money and time into trying to sort us out.....there is no financial gain to be made from this, just a sensible business decision......

The honesty in that statement shows us how desperate it's got, so we all need to back the club to the hilt in this crucial time.....

Fair play to Salford too.....you cannot knock them.....every club like us and them would love a rich backer to come in and go around signing other teams top players......wish them well......

The statement shows just how badly this club has been run and those in charge should be ashamed. Elston should be gone, end of. But fair play to the new guys honesty.

What that statement didn't say is how many memberships we have sold. We shifted 4500 last year and this years budget is 500 less. But only 1100 had renewed by the early bird deadline and the spread payment option take up didn't start quickly and ends today. Not sure a stuffing on tv against hudds and a defeat at home against cas is going to help that. And with Smith gone thats all i can see happening. Why could he not stay til the end of the season? Its not as if he can play for salford til next year. I hope it was significantly worth it but it won't cover the 400k shortfall. They'll be other departures i fear.

My season ticket is bought as i imagine are many of the posters on here. Its the floating fan that has jumped on the back of cheap tickets that won't like this and walk. And if they do we are gone. There's only so mich the same fans can do, we need new investors or we probably won't see next season.

Tim Smith sold with immediate effect....I assume that means he wont play against Huddersfield and Cas?
