Apologies if already mentioned, but is it confirmed that Peter May has stepped down from the board? Think Humberside mentioned it earlier in the week. Think he has the biggest individual shareholding.

all teams are suffering wakey and cas only managed 7000

Its not been officially announced, perhaps after this weeks Board meeting, and yes Pete is the major shareholder which I am sure you already know!

Strange how this has gone under the radar because quite frankly its far bigger than NH and RC threatening to withdraw their support. Pete May is an institution so this is siesmic. I don't know why he is stepping down but it seems more than a coincidence.

Pretty sure it was mentioned on Humberside this week that he'd stepped down, and Hudgell did say "there are two of us on the board" ie him and Crossland. From what Hudgell said earlier in the year, it's been the three of them bankrolling the club, but May's had a lower profile it seems.

Was announced at the POTY on Tues Night by Hudge

It would seem the Oz press have picked up on NHs lament at Rovers continuing losses. Steve Mascord’s opening gambit, in his article ‘Australian club teams could help save game in Britain’ (SMH 13 Sep 2012), sets the tone and he doesn’t pull any punches as he mocks NHs delayed season passes comment.

When do we find out the outcome of the big meeting? Rob Crossland is off to Mumbai - has it taken place already? I honestly think the Allams are taking over, not trolling, I genuinely think it will happen. Couple of shareholding shuffles this year, some cryptic comments. Watch this space. Always wanted to put that.

Wakefield have had the largest % increase in gates in SL. Their average is over 8,000 and larger than ours. Some of this is away fan numbers, but their own support has increased now they have 2 garden sheds to stand in.

I tend to agree and there are plenty of whispers that indicate it is, I did laugh when Rufus came out on that horse it will be hilarious when he comes out on a camel

I think you are correct, I have never wanted to say that!

i should have been more clearer it was the cas home game against wakefield they were after a 10000 gate and really marketed the game but fell well short i wasnt referring to wakefields home att in general

No worries mate. Cas have been utter all year and the attendances have suffered accordingly. Due to the ground layout (i.e. you can rock up late, pay on the gate ans stand anywhere) I suspect their Season ticket numbers are relatively low. This only becomes a problem when you are gash. Rovers were also gash, but high % of season tickets meant most of us still turned up despite losing 153 consecutive home games (well that's what it feels like).
