Bad but not terminal.

I think there nay be too many financial problems already which means we wont get a franchise so on this basis if we do go into administrtion it may not be the worse thing in the world however at the moment i don't want it to happen.

It sounds to me like you are trying to make yourself feel better, and I don't blame you. I would be the same. But if you guys go into administration you can kiss good bye to super league. If you do go down I can't see any of the championship clubs putting in a better application next tme round. You just have to stick by your club. I am a Cas fan, I know all about it.

If we do go down then i can only see Tolouse providing anysort of opposistion for us coming back up in 2015 providing we get the stadium.

expecting to be ridiculed from you and you have made me feel more humble, when we relegated you I was caught between relief and ecstasy, I doubt our club could survive a drop down the way fans are dropping off

as much as I would like to blame the BOD for being incompetent, the fans for being so fickle, I truly blame the RFL applying pressure at a time when even the ardent fan is finding it a struggle to the money to come and watch

I have been saying exactly the same for some time mate, we are in the biggest reccession in living memory for some adults and the RFL are pressurising clubs to build new stadiums. Thats right - NEW STADIUMS!! Its not like its a small thing they are asking us to do. The building industry is on its harris. They could cause clubs to fold with such demands. Its a bloody joke, and so are the RFL.
The other thing is, how can they say one club will come up and one will go down BEFORE they have evaluated the applications. What if all the clubs in SL are better than the championship ones, do they still send a club down because they said thats what they were going to do. It wouldn't stand up in court, but of course the clubs have been stopped from taking it to court by the RFL.
Franchising does make the sport stronger if it gets rid of relegation, but it hasn't. Its just every three years now, and the RFL get to choose who to send down, and make ludicrous demands of clubs. The Aussies just add to the league, whats wrong with that?

Well said mate.

Great post - well said.

I cannot see us surviving let alone pushing for promotion/franchise for 4 years should we go down/lose franchise stadium or no stadium. We were only getting 1 - 1,500 before we got promoted how many are gonna watch NL1 with no prospect of promotion and who is going to fund it?

Dont wish to sound alarmist but isnt the court winding up order tomorrow?? Should we not have heard by now what is happening if its good news?

It's alright mate, the fire.....sorry mega.....sale will have raised enough to pay the tax

TRB (or someone) tell me everythings going to be alright?

Well the club have not entered into administration yet so unless things change later evening they will either be wound up or continue trading.

I'm led to believe the club have an agreed payment plan with HMRC but their representative wanted it rubber stamped legally, hence this court action.

It's going to be alright!

Tomorrow is another day!
