I’d guess that the missing out on the playoffs and also winning the 1895 as we were close to running at a loss with everything the club had to pay out including win bonuses for the players.

Eden and Widdop I imagine have eaten in to a decent amount of any playing budget we had also. Big names come at a price.

I think some of you guys are underestimating the impact of our desperately unlucky injuries, We had 6 of our best players missing (half of the starting line up) against Widnes - Eden, Crookes, Keyes, Douglas, O' Brien and Calcott. Give the lads a break!

Absolutely! The Hammersmith game in particular was horrific and almost ruined the season before it started. On the other hand you could say what is the point of splashing the cash/any cash when there's no reward for it come the end of the season. It's like, do i go to Morrisons for my shopping or call at the local food bank? Same result but one's a lot cheaper albeit not the same quality.

Trouble is if you dont put a competitive,entertaining team out,you take away the sole surviving reason the 10% of us that's left bother wasting our £20 plus at all...

True, it's a viscous circle.

A more than likely loss making Challenge Cup run will not have helped the finances this year either.

Aye, job's buggered. Elland Craft & Tap, Blonde 4.0% Mmm!

Dusty miller n tiger tail for me.

Luvli. I almost called on there. Mmm!

A nice glass of vin rouge at home for me with my liver, onions and mash, reet grand.

I know the old board came in for quite a bit of stick but it can't be underestimated the job they did of helping keep us competitive on the pitch and there had been a few take over attempts in their time but were reluctant to release control to anyone who they didn't think had the funds to take the club forward. I think the new board are seeing that its not as easy as they thought it may be and you have to wonder if they are making good on promises they made.

Again though the sad reality is we are stuck where we are until we get someone with major funds in to the club and that is if we are playing under IMG or P & R rules. This change has basically made no difference for us.

The only time I remember Fax NOT being skint is when Tony Gartland was ploughing his own money in. We even nearly went bust after 2 Wembley visits. It wouldn't feel right if we wuz rich!

And to think we had some who still protest about how long and loyal they have been fans, that drove him away from the club!!

Think we can safely say we are skint .
Dual reg players as no depth .

Finns interview said it all when asked about making signings. Either no money or does not want to
