Well, given all other cases where we've had new owners, it's hard to see the RFL changing tack and cutting them some slack.

Well, let's face it, it would hardly be surprise of the century if RFL ratification hinged on them moving back to Odsal.

Sadly, that is correct.

Which leaves us where, given that if there is one thing above all others that I believe AC got right it is that playing at Odsal, under the current terms, and probably ANY terms, is unaffordable. If that is how the RFL play the game they may just as well close the club down and we can all go home.

It's not that, it's more the fact that Andrew Chalmers has gone to ground and is at present uncontactable and untraceable.

The first positive steps by the new owners is moving the club's administrative office and club shop back to Odsal Stadium.

Hopefully more positive news next week.

Will discuss this in more detail on the Pulse tomorrow with Ross and RHP.

Are the reported running costs of £500k to open & maintain Odsal accurate?

No one knows because the only person with access to the financial information at the club was Andrew Chalmers.

As part of the process for being in special measures, the RFL made him and the club employ an independent accountant but within two weeks the move to Dewsbury was announced and she was made redundant.

With all the changes of ownership in the past few years surely one of them could give a ballpark figure
