JMB

Not sure you could say the scholarships were successful, especially with some of the individuals they had involved, but the service areas yes.

Both Town and Haven had the opportunity over the years to operate there own scholarship programmes, very sad.

Not a lot has changed from last season with the players attending training, think Chris has had the wool pulled over his eyes by the BOD prior to him coming in, sad days for a great club.

Local government parties fight against each other and don't think of the local community when these issues come up.

The rfl and the wider rugby league public must be laughing at Cumbria, first the Whitehaven stadium fiasco and now this one, the word Dumbrians comes to mind, think we will struggle in the future to attract support from the rfl in any future projects or tournaments they are looking to put out in the rugby league community's. .

Sadly BARLA is a old and outdated body now.

Would it be a idea that all the local amateur clubs, both youth and open age Football and Rugby send a letter of support in to the council for the stadium, also the youth and open age league committees, this should help in my view.

It would be another £50.000 at least for Derwent park with the size difference, but that will also depend on what or if it requires extra drainage,

Ye apparently the club get very little from Carlsberg, all because of the money the brewery put in to keep the club a float, and its a 3 year agreement I was told,

I'm not up on the rules on becoming a councillor or any position held by individuals who are representing the public, but surely they have to declare any previous criminal convictions especially if they have been found guilty and gone to prison for the offence's, it maybe just me but I'm always wary of people moving to the area from away and wanting to become a councillor or a spokesmen or women for the local community.

I would have thought anyone putting themselves forward would have had to admit any demeanours from the past,

With what has gone on over the last few weeks you have got to give the team a big wraps. and Chris radio interview was very good, truthful and right to the point, think he will do the club ok in the end.

Defo Gilly, but he has had his chances on numerous occasions, just hope the lad can sort himself out.

Just spoke to my cousin and he says Rooney is taking the Town job at the end of the season and Lunty taking over at the Brow,

Moly fantastic player and a has a good engine, but as you say Gilly to small
