Dear local community and rugby league family please clear our shortfall so we can carry on in the same manner moving forward Inclined to agree. Aren't Aussie Visa level players subject to a minimum wages of £25k , so let's raise a load of coin and then commit to deals like that, what's that saying about things being to good to be true. All very patchy and odd imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlisle1921 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 If the guy taking over has just launched his own company he is taking a massive risk pumping money in to a rugby club when he has no hope of making a penny from it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foggieraider13 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I really hope this works out for haven but why do “investors” from, I believe, Norfolk and Suffolk want to invest in a club that does not own its ground? What does the 3 year contract signed at meeting mean for the Rugby club? Finally and has been mentioned before who are the other investors? From companies house info there does not appear to be major funds in the companies Mr Harvey is a major shareholder in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlisle1921 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 It seems strange, especially with the 2 full time ozzies to come in, surely they with bradford and york looking like nailed on for promotion they should save that cash and have a really good go at it next season?

That’s how I read it . 8 hours ago, donald said: And they've already got 2 Queensland cup players ready to sign So everyone’s kinda donations aren’t to save the club they’re to sign 2 Australians.

Rango Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Talking to a sellafield contractor yesterday who was approached to donate to the fund. (He did) and he was told that the club owe money to several people outside of the running costs shortfall and are also being taken to court by the people who provided services for the concert put on at the rec last year. If a takeover does happen the shambolic chairman and his cohorts should be made to resign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notasdaftasilook Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 So the club is begging to fans to save the club but at the same time promising to sign two Aussies? Is that not the kind of behaviour that means they have to beg now? It’s bizarre. No mention anywhere in all this of running the club correctly.

notasdaftasilook Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 A club in our league is nearly going bust so that a topic for debate from a wider RL perspective.

Egbertnobacon Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 But not full of ill informed quesswork . To suggest that donations are funding 2 Aussies is ridiculous . You only need a couple of clicks to find out that the consortium are funding it as well as putting in £33k to cover expenses over the rest of the season .

We so need new players though only got about 20 at the moment and some playing with injuries. Best part of the consortium's plans is to have u16,s and 19,s academy teams.

What does Haven have to make it such an attractive proposition for a consortium? In all honesty I'd include most RL clubs in that question but some have physical assets, with due respect Whitehaven have absolutely nothing.

That’s true you must have the smallest squad in the league to be fair until recently I didn’t realise the cost of running academy teams at the various tiers so if they’re prepared to invest in that area hats off to them it would certainly pay off medium to long term Forget Chuck and Chad I am the real legend killer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havenhater Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 So is this 2 Aussies signing rumour for this season or next? If there in the situation there in I'd be begging kells brow or egremeont lads to come along to stay afloat not fly 2 guys over at whatever cost.

It does seem too good to be true no idea how much cash they plan to put in but the plan is to be self sufficient within 3 years and playing top level of the championship which will be hard with so many full time teams now and that will never be an option up here unless there was some form of merger. Gary Eilbeck mentioned last night how both teams talked with RFL about it 4 years ago and where basically told theres no extra money in it so financially was never gonna happen.

We are no better off every team in champ 1 is struggling for money and if we do not achieve promotion this year will we struggling ? As for rumors I was told this week by an electricians that we owe there company £1200-00 and they cannot get it, so lets not revel in the jambo's downfall as we do not know whats around the corner.
