Another day, another player owed money by Fev

That's true now. I'm a Ponte lad, only one Cas fan at Carleton High in the 80s and he was a lad that had been kicked out of Freeston High in Normy.

Ageing like a kipper behind a radiator. This is all so desperately depressing. I've been obsessed with this club since I was about 5. Can't remember a lower feeling than this.

BTW, it gets worse. Not been paying players pension contributions, fans ordering merch 5 months ago still waiting and we apparently owe transfer money to another club (I'd guess Warrington for Longstaff, who played 2 games )

While all the time telling us fans that it's all been covered by squadbuilder and "record" commercial revenue. TBH I'm absolutely fuming. Hoping the bloke that takes over from MC has a bit better business brain. (and also gets rid of Vickers ASAP).

I'd assume the chap from Millennium Care who joined the BoD a couple of years ago will take over. From what I can gather, he's not short of a bob or two.

Statement from Mark Campbell. Looks like he's stepping down. https://www.featherstonerovers.co.uk/news/statement-chairman-mark-campbell-HIzBT/

We can always rely on some amateurish off field issue to tarnish a feelgood factor, like beating Wakey. It does feel like we're run by numpties at times.

We're always your cup final Oxy

At Fev it might have been a cracker. At their place, can't see anything other than a shellacking.

Leigh would fetch a few, probably more than our noisy neighbours and I do like the look of your injury list . Personally, I'd like Catalan away. Need an excuse to get away from the cold and damp.

Do the council even work on Sundays?

Cas. Just to close them down. Be worth £20m tbh.

Featherstone. First game 1973 cup final (as a foetus), first game I remember 1981.

He's a hooker really isn't he? Definitely got potential, but I'm not sure he's suitable for the task right now.

As someone on the main forum pointed out, this would be the first strike in history demanding worse working conditions.

Wintergreen, dad's farts and whatever lifeforms had evolved in the open air urinal at the back of the bullock shed.

Disturbing number of athletes with heart issues in the last couple of years. I wonder what the cause might be........

Graeme Steadman. Still not got over him signing for Cas.

That would be a typically Fev thing to do, now that auto promotion isn't available.

I probably have thought that at points Harry. I do broadly support the grading system though, as long as it's done transparently. Something needed to be done to arrest the decline of RL, I'm willing to give it a few years before passing judgement. I think we all know that 15th "best" club is about the right place for us. Can't speak for the town (I'm a Ponte lad anyway), but the lads I stand with all know deep down that we're not a Super League club and aren't likely to be unless one of us wins the Euromillions. MC has done some good things at Fev, but he's not mega wealthy and some of his decisions have been baffling to say the least. Certainly among my group, we're looking forward to a few seasons under the radar. Supporting Fev has felt like a chore for the last few years. Some games where the result is in doubt and some underdog wins will be nice. A season similar to 2019 will be very enjoyable.

League table in the OP looks about right. It would be a typically Fev thing to do to go and win the play offs this year, now that promotion isn't available.

Aye, his dad (Mick) has been on the committee for years. Took over as treasurer when my old man packed it in.

I reckon Shane Warne could have had what it takes to play RL, tough, quick thinker etc. Played AFL as a kid so would have some of the skills already.
