Correct IMO. What better way to ease in a non-fan as chairman than a big piece on the consequences of it not happening are depicted in apocalyptic terms? The boost becomes bigger, then, and especially timely just before season passes are released.

Bizarrely, whilst we've had years of crowing about the BOD at Rovers being fans, there's a pretty strong possibility that they've seen the commercial projections of the club through those tinted lenses and this has been a factor in today's news.

Where's it say that?

Can't see how they would fight to get the north stand done and then pull the plug were in a bit of a catch 22 for next season really, fans already questioning the squad however I think it will be better and the board wanting more support, I think we need someone else on board to help.

They'll probably just ring NH or CS up and ask.

Takeover announcement along with the reported 2 massive signings = record pass sales, 10k average and the new North stand a commercial success

Jake and mrs b you are so bad at this, I think a lot of the players and they know who they are need to take a long hard look at themselves this season and be ashamed, it's them that's let the club down and the fans I don't blame hudge and crossland for these talks, wel still be around next season I also think sandercock needs to up his arris into gear a bit with the youngsters thought that's what his speciality was.

Surely sandy has to bear the brunt of the blame? He's the one working with the players all week. 1 win from the last 10 matches is dire

I'm not saying he's not to blame but if he's got a game plan and they don't stick to it or can't be bothered which let's be fair for most of the season the crowds are going to dwindle and it's just going to get worse and worse, I'm wondering if Its a problem between coach and players.

He's hardly an inspirational leader though is he?

The club has been in denial since its arrival in superleague.
It only ever had one objective owing to the dwarfes personal vendetta.
The bank that sponsored them in the first couple of seasons pulled the plug after seeing the road ahead the club was travelling along.
Still unpaid CCJ`s from 09 and 10.
CEOs leaving at an alarming pace.
The current CEO Mike Smith no longer in the headlines as he was everyday before the Mason fiasco.
No training facilities.
No ground improvements.
Every promise to the RFL broken.
I actually hope they get out of this mire and some one clears their £6 MILLION debts.
Cue Allams and their takeover.
And another bitter battle with the council over the covenant on the land.
You could`nt make it up could you?

Isn't this the same interview NH gave to Radio Humberside after the Leeds match back in february? Also he has written about the position in his programme notes several times. Hardly back page breaking news at this time but clearly NH and RC have an agenda and have done for some time. Other than not being prepared to underwrite losses not sure what their end game is.

Lets not panic, hopefully just paving the way for a couple of big announcements then watch the season passes sales roll.

We don't know what he's like in the changing rooms do we so we can't say how inspirational he is in the middle of the season when we were coming back from defeat he must have been a bit inspirational then who knows what's going to happen for next season it's not looking good really, ur owner can forget the derby 20,000 crowd for starters if we dont survive.

Do u think he is easing us in gently for a big announcement then

If they in that much financial mess it baffles me even more why they wouldnt cash in on Taylor?
