| I would feel fairly confident that if you check at company's house the currently existing Widnes & Harlequins are a different club to the ones who went bankrupt- same shirts, same ground, but in the eyes of the law a different company and therefore club. However, neither club had to relocate and I guess all the new funders did was buy back some of the old club's assets off the administrator, offer new contracts to superseed the contracts that had just become defunct, and arrange new tenancy agreements on the grounds.
Oldham 'off loaded players', or were current players told they had to take a cut in wages as the whole of the Panthers squad has had to? However, a number of Oldham players decided they didn't fancy a cut in their pay packet and moved club perhaps... Also, how did Oldham afford all those 'stars' in the B Quinn era and stay under the cap...sound familiar???
1) I think there is a line between being noisey and being abusive/ rude- by all means support your team, but don't aim abuse at the others teams fans. I didn't experience this with Oldham fans on Sunday, but obviously others did on this board. I have have however, experienced threatening behaviour from Hunslet fans on a number of occasions- think each individual has a different club they dislike due to bad experiences.
2) Panthers have a small fan base- hardly surprising considering a semi-pro club has been in existence for less than 10 years with modest success on the pitch after an awful starting few years. Therefore, hardly surprising that there were more Oldham fans there- relatively close to Blackpool, been in Superleague, founding member of the Northern Union- should hope you have a decent fan base.
3) Yes you won twice- well played.
Any way that will be my last response on the matter- best of luck for the rest of the season & hope that your new ground gives you a stable foundation for future growth- a situation all clubs would like, but few achieve.

| Quote: KingBobLindner "Oldham Roughyeds are not related to the Bears in any way, shape or form - completely different club. Oldham Roughyeds had no assets, no players, no kit - NOTHING. Unlike Harlequins and Widnes that reformed and kept the same personnel, gorund etc. Two completely different scenarios.
The Roughyeds when in debt have paid every single penny back with interest unlike some clubs.
When BQ pulled the plug, we offloaded the money players not keep them unlike yourselves. That galvanised us stronger, and yes made us solvent again. We had to adjust our BP overnight to accomodate the deficit in funding - best thing that ever happened in my opinion. What really narked me is in a previous thread calling our fans because a) they were vocifeorus, b) there were 5 x more there than the local support c) we beat you - not once, but twice
5 times more than local support? We average 200-250 so with a crowd of 780 and that included corporate of around the 150 mark that leaves 630 , say 230 panthers(including our wigan/warrington contingent) , you brought 400 cant work the 5 times quote out? You beat us not once but twice? Fact !!!

Quote: Roughyeds Return "Taken from BBC Sport.
Blackpool Panthers have been deducted ten points after being found guilty of a number of breaches of Rugby Football League rules.
The Championship One side were found guilty of breaking registration and salary cap rules by an RFL tribunal.
The club have said they will not be appeal against the decision.
The deduction means Martin Crompton's side will have to fight for promotion this season, having dropped from third place to sixth.'"
Wrong as usual - We didnt break salary cap rules - check official statement - www.blackpoolpanthers-rlfc.co.uk

This was a quote from the BBC website as stated - try reading!
If these dodgy payments made via the backdoor were included in the amounts paid to players, it's likely you would have exceeded the cap. So its a technicality, you broke the rules, you pay the price.
