I was bemused by the £350k from Yorkcourt intially - simple question, why would YC pay a "sweetener" to WT as they effectively had us over the proverbial barrel anyway?

It turns out that the money from YC relates to BV & would have been part of a deal that released Cala from paying what was outstanding on the original deal.

Whether Ted has or hasn't bought land at Newmarket I don't know, but the £350k related to an asset of WTRLFC Ltd rather than something the Ted would directly benefit from.

Administration could spell the end of the club who is out there with money to put into a club with no ground after this season with little or no hope of SL rugby

If enough people sign up, the supporters trust?

If 5000 people joined and the membership fee was £20 it would give the trust £100k to play with, if it was raised to £50 it would result in £250k. I think those kind of figures would be reasonable to run a club at Championship level.

Well, if rumours are true then at least 2 if not 3 people. Also, why would you not have a ground, to stay in SL then Barnsley or Doncaster look likely until Newmarket and staying at Belle Vue in the NL1 would seem to be on the cards if not. The new owner may make the administrator an offer they can't refuse for Belle Vue, or if they are looking to sell Belle Vue on to others or if it is to be liquidated, then the longer the better, as land is only going to go back up in price and why would you not rent it back to the newly owned team until Newmarket or something else came along! The Administrator has a legal responsibility not only to keep and sell the company as a going concern, they also have to do everything they can to choose (if given a choice) who provides the best sustainable long term future for the company.

Looks lke Championship rugby for the next 3 yrs.Crowds will fall and wont be easy starting with a new team, against teams such as Leigh etc.

it wont be easy but hopefully we will still have a club and something to build on. we will allways have the fact we were never relegated from sl by finishing bottom of the league.

I hope you still have a club buddy, as i like the heartlands to be kept hold off.Annoying when london and crusaders keep getting handouts and help.

Barnsley would be risky Doncaster would be suicide. If we can stay at Belle Vue then bring on the championship, hell it's been a good run.

Not up on all this but if the club went into admin before the season started would all season tickets be nil & void

we get new owners Barnsley could work well until newmarket is sorted sl or championship, it will depend on the way we promote it

Yes they do, but it doesnt stop the HRMC going for it, if they are the major creditor ie 25% or more then im afaraid they have the call, and if they want to wind it up, then they can by stopping a CVA. The admin has then no option,

yes but more likely to want to work with a new owner than just close it,
the new owner would have to have some good business history
