My money would be on Featherstone. Their player turnover during this off season has been on another level.

Wouldn't be surprised. Heard it on good authority that the club is surviving on a month by month basis. One of the reasons why many of the players last season moved on (significant risk of not being paid).

Don't think they owe that much, just they have low cash flow.

I wouldn't wish it on anyone. For a fair while they were fantastic in the Championship and turning over the likes of Cas in the cup. And the group of fans who dismantled and rebuilt the stand from Scarborough have my total respect. But the aftermath of another fickle moneybags walking away may be coming home to roost. Sadly that's the RL way; we collectively are so in need of cash that we are unduly receptive to complete numpties who come and have a play then wander off again leaving chaos for the poor sods left behind.

whats also disapointing, although not surprising, is T&A not bothering to report the removal of the winding up petition. They had it up as breaking news within an hr or so when it was issued yet totally ignore its removal. They seem to be very quick to print negative headlines about the bulls, Eg running the headlines about us going part time after Jimmys comments after MPG on both online edition on the Sunday and the print edition on the Monday. This is despite Ross the T&A reporter tweeting on the Sunday that Marc Green had told him Saturday night that we were staying fulltime and telling him again on the Sunday morning. Think there's been a major breakdown in communications between club and local rag which needs addressing TBH.

They can't report the removal of something that's only been deferred. I agree with you on the clubs relationship with the local paper though. The club and the T&A should be working more harmoniously to generate positive stories that in turn generate increased media presence and season ticket sales.
