For anyone travelling to Toulouse in June
David Shepherd replied to Les Tonks Sidestep's topic in Featherstone Rovers
Phew, been sweating on this. Booked my flights as soon as the fixture list came out. Should be a cracking day of RL. Best stay off the Cherry Chouffe, or I'll not make it to 9pm. -
MOM Doncaster v Featherstone Rovers

The Reality of the IMG Grading System
David Shepherd replied to DemonUK's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
I still think the grading system is largely the right thing to do. But the fact that London's fate was sealed before the season started exposes a fatal flaw in the system. If London somehow manage to fight their way to 11th, their reward is being cast adrift. Why even bother? Is it even 1 up, 1 down? Could TOXIII also replace Cas? Could Bradford replace Leigh? This could have been so much better if any "B" winning the championship could replace any other "B" that finishes bottom of the pile. There still an incentive to become an "A" and guarantee your place, but without the embarrassment the sport could potentially suffer. -
MOM Featherstone Rovers v Bradford

Jones Struggling for a 2 & 3 tbh -
Couldn't ever bring myself to cheer for Cas, so it would be the foreign team. Not that Cas are ever likely to appear in such a game.

Club Statement by Mark Campbell

Another one -
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.

Rugby League Challenge Cup 6th Round Draw
David Shepherd replied to Old Frightful's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
At Fev it might have been a cracker. At their place, can't see anything other than a shellacking. -

Which club would you invest in?
David Shepherd replied to Eddie's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Cas. Just to close them down. Be worth £20m tbh.
