Rovers are rumoured to be 3-4 million in the red

I thought for a moment you were referring to their away support

as soon as the last lot of fans get parole they will be ok

Funding from directors/shareholders isn't considered as debt in the same way as money owed to the bank/HMRC/suppliers is.

At least someone speaks sense unlike the mighty dumb duller, the debt is nowhere near the amount he claims is rumoured, plus as you say the debts are mostly to the directors (directors loans arent proper debts), many clubs currently in super league have similar director loans.

I reckon most of us understand that, we don't all listen to forum gossip

Recent months have shown me that rumours on this forum have very little value.

For clarity - I'm not posting a rumour; simply stating that someone who has a business relationship with the club told me this morning that a) the licence application was extremely impressive and b) there is a growing sense that SL will be expanded.

Not a rumour - just an informed opinion that gave me a few extra straws to clutch.

Sounds like the murmurings from FIFA before the football world cup decision.

Would you seriously expect "forget it, pal, we ain't got a chuffin' chance!" ?

Bet we have

You could be right - or not.

Feel a lot more confident after up grade of BV was announced, also that it was included in our application.

not sure if any of you have seen the article in the League Weekly

The article states the Mr Glover is talking to the owners about purchasing Bellevue however the agents are touting the ground around saying it is for sale as from Dec 11 when wakeys £2k per week lease expires.

Quote "this is in no way connected with the future of the rugby club who are making alternative arrangements" "depending on outcome of licence outcome wakey will definitely be playing at the Rams stadium next year if they are in the championship"

Does ted still have anything to do with BV ,
