I think it is for Dewsbury, it's not ideal by any means but clubs to a large extent have to look after themselves and do what is best for them.

Have you really so little self respect ?

there are a few from Dews who do not share your vision, not that that makes you wrong..... though I think you are!!!

Wrong that the link up adds to the team ? Or do you mean in a wider sense?

[Robin Evans]

Both, but particularly the latter.

Can you add to that? Why do you think that?

I think there is a bit of a split in our forum if this will help the team or not. As for if this is better for the game as a whole I'm not sure. I think we all have different ideas on what even better would be. It may seem as if I am somesort of cheerleader for the whole thing. I am not but can see why Dewsbury in the current day have signed this deal. I would love for Dewsbury to have a great academy but to fund it we need success to bring the crowds in.This deal may or may not help us but I think it's worth a shot. It's also not as restrictive as some believe it to be or infact as some who are against it bizarrly want it to be.

[Griff]

I infer that you have little respect for Dewsbury as a stand-alone club and are happy to become a Superleague Reserve team.

[Ramite]

None of that is true have a look for the facts.

[oldrover]

None of that is true have a look for the facts.

just one question, do you think the rfl had your best interest at heart when they introduced this concept.

[Ramite]

No not at all it was done to save SL clubs money I think about 100k a year was the figure.

[oldrover]

i did make reference on your forum to prescription charges (started at 20p), and uni fees (2 grand). the point being, it may not look too bad now, but where is it gonna lead. it's all very well saying we can pull out if we don't like it, but not many club chairmen seem capable of saying no to the rfl.

[Ramite]

I think where it may lead to will depend ultimatly on the next sky deal. More money per club and SL may go back to a full academy. If not things will stay as they are.

[LOWFIELD]

I don't think its a secret Fev have more money to spend on players than probably anyone else in this league I don't have am issue with that. I would love Dewsbury to be in the same situation. But people like your chairman are almost non existent. Fev on the up started with him do you think you would be where you are without him? Without him it could have easily been fev signing up to one of these link ups. Not everyone is in the same financial situation as fev. You disagree with the link ups but Dewsbury are doing the best they can with the money they have.

Impossible to say were we would be without Mark Cambell, its not just his monetary input, iv never known a man with as much drive and energy in my life, but a lot of fans have bought into it as well Oldrover and myself even went to Elland road to help bring some seats back although he didnt do alot as i dont think hes ever been on a big job afore, i know other people have done much more than us and still are. The reason i did that and spend all i can at Rovers is i have in my life time seen us win all the majour honours, and would like my son to have that same chance and not see us as a feeder team no way

And they are where exactly ?

[Griff]

So you don't think it was done for you.

But you're still happy with it.

And you think we should look at the facts.

That's it, that sort of thing starts and the top they set the tone and the rest of the club and fans buy into it. Once you have got it started it can push the club forward. But it's difficult to start.

[LOWFIELD]

Sorry i work at Drax now not Ferrybridge, by the way Ferrybridge fell down didnt it had to be rebuilt by the right people

[Ramite]

So you don't think it was done for you.

But you're still happy with it.

I'm happy it's the best deal we could do but I'd rather we didn't have to do it. The facts are on Dewsburys website have a look.
