What is laughable, is we are downgraded for the 2 x LED screens we have at the stadium being too big, yet Old Trafford is the showpiece stadium for the Grand Final, and doesn't even have its own screen

Also, we should appeal the perfomance grading. If the club cannot use supporters in the catchment in places like Brough, Cottingham, Willerby and Beverley, then surely the performance of our players who live in those places shouldn't count either

At least Halifax got an improved score for their financial performance.

The system works.

The measures are a joke but so is our club so we get what we deserve. Laughable that wakey and cas are classed as grade A in any scenario

You need to revise the 1895 Cup points it's not 0.25 for winning that comp

I can take a grade B for us no issues we deserve it for our performance on the pitch, but the fact Cas and Wakey are above us as a grade A club is laughable, particularly Cas have played the system, i don't blame them, but some of that criteria is a joke. The sports needs to build and to not include anything for youth and get punished for having a big stadium is absolutely shocking. I suspect the crirtia will change, it has to.

But one thing for certain is we have to improve on the pitch, get that right and everything will improve, if we don't we could be in trouble.

It's absolutely essential we show progress and improvement on the pitch

Is there a full breakdown of every club's score by individual measure? Can see ours but but everyone else's.

Obviously the LED screen is a joke but as expected the majority of the down grade will be for performance and stadium utilisation. Both factors are well in the clubs control.

Absolutely but the teams we are likely to be battling it out against have both been awarded A grade licenses. Wakefield are ambitious and will be far more competitive than London and Cas who finished 9 points ahead of us have secured new investment. Despite the improvement in our squad that's quite a margin.

That's why it's desperately important we sort out the LED screens.

Also the reduction in TV viewer score is a reflection that we haven't had a game of interest after July for any non die-hards for about 10 years now. Other clubs will have had a decider game to get in the playoffs to draw the casual SKY viewer in, we may as well be put on the Deadrubber Sports1 channel

Disappointed to see us drop a grade, some of the rulings are a joke but it’s ultimately our failings on the pitch that have seen us drop.

Do find the delay in information regarding the fans forum interesting, maybe waiting to announce it alongside the investment/takeover?

Can’t see them doing a forum if a takeover/investment hasn’t taken place.

I'm still optimistic this is the case, the timing of the dinner in particular would be unusual otherwise usually these things would be done at the start of end of seasons not when players and staff are just returning from holiday (or arriving at the club)

Agreed, it’s not only directly our performer score that dropped it has a knock on effect on everything.
