I reckon league one next season will be really competitive,some good teams in there. I'm quite happy with our recruitment and I think we can finish top 4.

Who knows. As our coach says,he’s happy to stay under the radar and see where that takes us. I’m happy with that.

I heard he had a meeting with Mark on Wednesday evening plus he was present yesterday morning at the pre season training day.

I don’t think they mentioned that. It looks like we’ve got NWC at home first game though.

You’re welcome. It was a decent turnout for a very cold Thursday evening. What really does worry me though is that we’ve got a aging fan base. Mark did say it was getting harder financially,not very long ago our funding was around 220/240k it’s now 33k. He also said that he’d welcome anyone that wants to invest or even buy the club,but he also said he wouldn’t just walk away.

Obviously the main talking points were the finances of the club,apparently we lost 150k last season,in fact Mark said out of all the clubs throughout the game theirs only Newcastle showing a profit,I know I couldn’t believe either. Mark also mentioned is dislike towards IMG and the chancellor Rachel Reeves,the latter for what it will mean to clubs like ours with NI contributions going up in April. Season tickets are going on sale hopefully from 1st December priced £150,family ticket two adults and two kids all living in the same address £270. Electric scoreboard and floodlights hopefully getting sorted soon,tannoy system we’ll have to put up with for another 12 months. Meet the players and shirt launch is Friday 6th December.

He definitely wants to play next season,whether that’s with us or someone else who knows.

I’ve given up trying to make sense of this IMG. Another rumour going around is that Halifax have received another winding up order from HMRC.

Theirs still so much uncertainty among a few clubs whether they will survive.

Played for us before, part of the Cummings family.

I don't know what's happened for Roger to feel like this, and he obviously has his reasons to come to a decision like this, but I find it sad when I hear of a longstanding supporter decides he's had enough. Take care young man.

George Senior just been announced for next season.

Still a bit to learn,he’s a strong lad with a good pair of hands. Good signing for you.

Greensmith,yes. Carr going to Australia and Graham is talking to one or two clubs,Batley being one.

Good swap for Ollie Greensmith

Jacob Hookem signs a new one year contract for 2025.

After the away game at Doncaster I said to anyone that would listen that we needed at least 6 quality players to compete in the championship. We kept too many of them players on that for me weren't good enough for the step up. I remember at the presentation night when I was talking to most of the players they said they were staying if Ferguson got the coaching job, he got the job and they stayed and they were happy to sign the contract they were on. As for the 130k maximum playing budget, I heard it was more than that. Your source might be better than mine, unless you are closer to what's happening than me. I did hear just recently that one player that as just departed the club was on 15k so if your numbers are correct then it doesn't leave much for rest of the players.

I heard Midlands along with Elliot Morris.

It was a deal until the end of the season.

No he’s decided against it now. Could be Batley bound.

The players signed contracts so they knew what they were getting, two of our players are going to a club that are on their ###### financially so good luck to them on that one.

Heard of four players that's played for us in the past. A halfback from a league one club. A few local lads coming in, then of course them that we've retained. No big name charlies.

They wouldn’t have enough strapping in the dressing room for me

Be interesting to see how many players are available this week due to injuries and suspensions. I believe Owen Restall and Curtis Davies are season ending injuries,Jacob Hookem didn’t look good on Saturday after limping off,Joe Summers is still injured I think. Ronan Dixon,Paul Sykes and Brad Graham all suspended. Hopefully Giants can send us some reinforcements as there season is over.

Callum Turner, Bailey O'Connor going to Fev. Ronan Dixon, Owen Restall and Brad Graham going to Halifax. I've heard three ex players coming back to the club. I think we've got four retentions so far. Oh and maybe a couple of players from Batley
