500m joint wealth. 40m for a stadium which can be offset with commercial partners. Millionaires don't just buy rugby league clubs they have to affinity to, there has to be something in it for them

He’s obviously struggling to sleep

Tossing and turning with nightmares of FC rising again and winning trophies

A very enjoyable evening. As other's have said, impressed with Andrew Thirkill and the main thing for me is he's a rugby man. Can tell how passionate he is about the game and also liked how realistic he is too. No big statements about trophies etc. Just a real desire to get the club back being competitive and then hopefully challenging again. Also impressed with how well JC and RM spoke.

Agree with that - however it must be weird for JC reporting to Myler. Having a huge NRL coaching CV and working for Myler who has no experience and arrived as York's scrum half must be a bit odd.

Also do we know anything about Hood? I think I read he's from Buttershaw which is nearish to Odsal but no idea whether he has any RL interest

To be fair, we’ve all had experience of reporting to bosses who know less than us!

Enjoyed the forum, it flowed well and for the most part had some good questions raised, a refreshing change and hopefully something the club continues to host maybe twice a year.

They've got the priorities right, investing in the playing squad and backroom staff whilst reconnecting with the community game. Starting to win on the pitch will see things like the 'matchday experience' thrive off the back of it.
