What they are playing Belle Vue? Do you think they will make any money out of that??

As was ever thus. I remember fans happy to post photos on themselves in fancy dress with Ted and Diane back in the day.
The hero worship of owners has to stop, but some like that feeling of being important when they are anything but.

| Yes, he clearly has got some things wrong, ie spending more than he/we can afford, but at the same time lets not forget he got us out of a serious hole!
Once the RFL could not give Steve Parkin the guarentees he wanted, funnily enough there was not a long line of people queing up to buy us. He put his own cash in and seriously saved our ass. Unfortunately in the end his wallet wasnt as big as his ego!
I often wonder when they are scratching around for sponsors, if the RFL regret as much as we do not giving SP the guarentees he wanted!

I've often thought the same thing - I understand that he made offered some attractive incentives if he could get the assurances he wanted, that would have benefitted the whole game; and that's before you even consider the names in his address book.
Hey ho - it wasn't to be.

| Me Glover in my opinion is just a.nieve man who has been out done by a self opinionated rugby league wanna be I just hope Franny Stephenson is sat somewhere with a massive smile on his face due to the fact Elston has stabbed Me Glover in the back like he did him Elston should be banned from every rugby league ground in the country.

A bit of forward thinking, or alternatively a quick scan at the Crusaders accounts and the world could have been a different place where the mighty Trin are concerned!

| Personally think some of the stuff being written on here about Andrew Glover is disgusting. Yes, mistakes have been made but these are hard times, the guy has put thousands and thousands of his own money into our club, more than the majority of us die hard fans will do in a lifetime. If i was a potential investor with a million quid in the bank and was reading some of the garbage posted on here and how ungreatful people become so quickly with someone who has given to our club what AG has, then i wouldnt touch us with a barge pole...

He was stood next to me at the game on Sunday - looked a bit bulky, think he might have been wearing a stab vest under his jacket.

I understand what you're saying but people/supporters etc are entitled to their opinion.
He's got thousands to put in and wanted to do so.
When you come out with statements such as 'the biggest announcement ever in the history of the Wildcats' or 'we need never to worry about money again' you can understand frustration and disappointment within the fans camp.

I think AG carried out his work with the best intentions and put his money, or a least his companies, where his mouth was. Problem is whilst all the soundbites were positive and we were lead to believe all was rosy the reality was so very different. We as fans bought into what was said, we believed him and trusted him. After the mess that the Richardsons left we finally thought we had someone who could in time take us forward to the promisded land. But in the background we were racking up debts, CCJ's and winding up orders like they were going out of fashion and he had obviously run out of ideas to stem the flow. Now whether it was a case of relying on Elston too much, a man who was obviously way out of his depth, i'm not sure, but as chairman he should have been overseeing things and put a stop to things before they went this far. The other board members should have also been asking more questions and that includes our new chairman. But everybody just let it ride and now that famous creek is right ahead and our paddle is broken. Credit to MC for putting his neck (and house) on the block to try and sort the mess but it should have never got this far.
We are now pretty much at a point of no return, money has to be found and quickly or else its goodnight and god bless. And lots of it is needed. Problem is people are angry and are not just going to throw good money after bad. The crown jewels are having to be sold and if they are next year will possibly end in relegation to the championship, where we may remain for a while. Without superleague income we then have a debt servicing problem all over again. We feel let down, lied to and the trust has now gone. It is only natural that people our going to vent their spleen at the people who got us in this position as we go through this yet again.
