We'll always be around John, life would be boring without us admit it.

Cheers JohnJust so it's public I apologies to the mods for suggesting censorship on this forum. I also apologies to other memebers for derailing the thread. I do think I've had a point in the past but do appreciate that the mods work hard to ensure that the forum is fair and fun for all. Looking forward to the RL future and proper RL debates. Cheers Ian

No evidnece that it will? How many years of licencing and failed promises do you intend to give licencing a go.

In my opinion a licensing system is ridiculous. You seem to be of an opinion that each SL round produces 7 close games every week and this just does not happen.

In what way is it different? If a one sided game is garbage then why have the earlier rounds? Lets just go for the creme de le creme of close SL games, oh hang on a minute.

I disagree, I argue the point especially when I think there is a wrong. You have just recently used the words 'Fev paranoia'. I personally do not have a problem with this, however I had some goading comments deleted the other day. So you have to say what's the difference? You often have a go at Flatcappers again I really don't have a problem but the fact people get banned and warned for the same thing is just wrong and that's what gets my goat up. In my job I travel all over the UK and meet all kinds of people. I have some friends in the South where we have a big disagreement on all kinds of things especially politics, does this mean that I do not listen to them or like them? Of course not. We are all entitled to our opinion as long as we are all treated the same, that's all I ask for. You think I'm paranoid some people who post on here disagree.

In your view then we should scrap the Challenge Cup? Apart from a few upsets you get cricket scores in that competition. Maybe we should have a 14 team Challenge cup knock out only including SL clubs. The mouth waters at the prospect!

There certainly is!

I have done nothing of the sort and you know that. All I have done is ask that all forum members are treated the same when posts are deleted because of abuse or topic derailment. My PM in July and my deleted posts this week show that this is not the case. I would appreciate it if you would stick to the facts without trying to put words into my mouth.

In my opinion, a nice way of putting what I say goes. I reported a post to you back in July where some members were off topic slating Featherstone people. Compared to my recent posts I have done nothing wrong but guess what mine were removed. I suppose if you want a one way opinion on the state of the game then people like me can use other forums, after all that's exactly what you want us to do.

Morning John, first of all thanks for being positive on the game even though you disagree with the new structure. As for your comments on the above, as usual I totally disagree.

In our favour though all the bar and refreshment takings along with the other money making from facilities goes directly back to the club, has Robin pointed out. This gives us a distinct advantage financially over our rivals.

I know that Griff is obsessed with our accounts, lol but I also know that he understands them better than me and you as it turns out. I think the key here is Mark Campbell, we are lucky enough to have a chairman who really does have our interests at heat. He as put so much into the club that I believe he would have guarded against any risk with land assets. With any risk and with any club there is always a risk.

Thanks Martyn, that clears that up a bit. The same goes for all member clubs then? I still think that it was unfair to focus on Featherstone's worse case scenario.

Thanks for that Lorne, certainly backs my argument up. I don't have a problem with rules as long as the rules fit all.
