The worry may be that people have paid for holidays and there is a lack of disposable income - at this time of year. No reserves,but resilience,persistence and determination are omnipotent.

DEANO Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 And I wasn’t crowing. I wasn’t even there. I was just pointing out that haven must only have 400 speccies for one of the bigger games of the season.

I'm not so sure DavidM I do realise dr is here and everyone uses it like it or loathe it , but when you see important trys scored by dr players in recent weeks then you have to say it has helped clubs , including Workington , to win some games and put them where they are at the moment . Or else why use it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should instead have decided YOUR club was dead? I donated recently to Rochdale. I will not be donating to Whitehaven - their board has screwed up, their fans are not turning out in enough numbers to support the club, and they say they have an investor waiting who surely will not be incentivised if the club has to rely on handouts from outside the fan base (been there, got the scars from that...). But I sympathise very much with those fans who ARE turning out - like the long- suffering fans of so many other clubs let down by the club owners and their fellow townspeople. And I therefore suggest your comment is not helpful. The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wise people so full of doubts. Bury your memories; bury your friends. Leave it alone for a year or two. Till the stories grow hazy, and the legends come true. Then do it again - some things never end.

DavidM Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 It sounds like , we’ve got ourselves into a big mess mismanaging things ( again ) , bail us out or it’s really really dire ( again ) so we can carry on as normal and it’ll all come right to a great future , and honestly this is the last last time .

Anonymouse Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 how many semi pro clubs have gone to the wall in the past 20 or 30 yrs and even gone altogether ? quite a few and Whitehaven are by no way unique to this current situation and certainly will not be the last and its a shame that people who supposedly are lovers of rugby league cannot wait to have a dig at and mock and even add wide off the mark speculation and insinuations towards a club who are in seemingly difficult times . No one knows what is around the corner from season to season for any club , yes they have probably overspent in last seasons promo push but who wants to be in this basement league for the foreseeable future with almost no away supporter revenue and a dwindling home support and some of the things said on other clubs forums are ranging from the ridiculous to the libellous .

So because Adey (a Bradford Bulls fan) doesn't want to buy and run Whitehaven, it is proof that he can't 'walk the walk' That has to be the most bizarre assertion I've ever seen on this forum (and that really is saying something!!)
