Interesting, and to me at least, a little odd. Can you imagine the furore if, as for example, the only thing that were to stop Bradford getting sufficient IMG points to return to SL was Keighley getting promoted.

That was the trend amongst my social circle 10-15 years ago. Nowadays we've just got to no-one bothering with either (or the unlikely scenario of donating quietly). I never understood why the two needed to be mutually exclusive.

2nd night of The Lottery Winners 3 night residency at Manchester Academy last night. Really good night out, good set, good atmosphere and cameos from Boy George and Bez.

We've received and sent less than ever this year. Elderly relatives decreasing in numbers, no one bothers at work anymore and nor do most friends. We've received 12 so far, 10 from people over 60 and 6 of those 10 are from people 70+. Do you still write and send cards? I'm expecting to be down to pretty much zero received in the next 10 years based on current trends. Little surprise really, as it's increasingly expensive based on cards and stamp prices.

That's as maybe. It's still a requirement to submit on time. Also worth noting they'd cover the period up to 28th November 2023, well before he came on board.

As a company Finance Director, completion and submission of annual accounts to CH is pretty much front and centre of the role for me. They're actually submitted by our auditors once mutually signed however, so I'd agree it's unlikely to be on PHs personal to do list. I'd hope he was aware that they're overdue however...

It's a matter of days for them to be published.

Great to see the new developments and general vibe around the club. Thanks for the update as well, saves those such as me who missed the livestream having to watch it all back. Couple of questions, in case I've missed an answer. You mentioned floodlight improvement needed if we need them if in SL for minimum standards. Are they not part of the IMG scoring to potentially get us there? Also, from a dull perspective to most but at the forefront as a qualified accountant, was anything said about resolving the statutory requirement for submission of accounts that are currently overdue? I appreciate most will view this as a dull question, but from a director perspective it could mean lead to a criminal conviction, which I wouldn't have thought Paddy and the other directors would want.

TBF it clearly isn't in hand, otherwise they wouldn't be late!

As a start, I'd suggest by contacting the group by using one of the three methods of contact (Facebook, X, email) shown at the bottom of the article.

What the article actually says is the group that is already assembled covers the age range from 16-70. There is no mention of any age restriction in joining. https://featherstonerovers.co.uk/rovers-announce-new-fans-group/

Connor Wynne to KR? https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/hull-kr-plot-move-ex-9781354

I had a Jag ipace for 3 years on lease via salary sacrifice that ended a year ago. I've gone back to petrol but not due to EV issues, and I'd happily have another. We have a pod point charger and were on a standard tariff. Electric worked well for us as it's rare we do longer journeys. In 3 years of ownership I can count on the fingers of one hand how many trips of 200+ miles we took and therefore had to charge away from home. Being able to preheat the car is a game changer for winter. 3 years without ever having to clear a widow from frost or get in a cold car at 6am!

They borrowed three Salford players for their first ever game in 2020. They lost 102-14. https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/valencia-huracanes-beaten-heavily-in-historic-first-match

Seen em a fair few times since the 90s, and never felt that. May be perception, and everyone is entitled to a view.

Having seen Shed Seven at the Piece Hall a couple of weeks ago, it's over to Manchester for the next two: Travis at Albert Hall on Friday, followed by The Wonder Stuff the following Thursday at 02 Ritz.

We went on a Saturday night, on our way to Rhod Gilbert at the Victoria Theatre. We had three courses, and I don't recall being in there much over an hour.

Interesting, page doesn't exist when you follow the link now. Click on go to homepage, and it takes you one called Ossett United.

I couldn't recall how far back it was that the sky deal ran out for Champ/League 1.

Can't comment for 25, but in previous seasons they've not been allowed to due to the sky deal.

Cheers. Not sure if that wholly explains why prices since pre covid have gone from £3.40 to £5.60+ in one and £3.20 to £4.30 over the same period in the other, but does make sense. Still seems nuts to me, but if the brewery is making money I don't suppose they'll care.

Always a risk. I only made about half the home games last season, so I'm still up on that, for now at least.

It is what it is, but I'd be interested to understand why fixtures are getting changed.

I was about to post that home games fall better for me this year, with 9 of 12 I can make without any diary clash. If London has been moved, that's down to 8. Season ticket turning out to be good value again.
