notasdaftasilook Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 If it’s smells like a fish and looks like a fish it’s usually a fish. Everyone got caught up in the hype. I feel sorry for the fans who took their credit card down to buy next years season ticket. Shocking lack of due diligence and desperation at the end of the day. Their Facebook is in meltdown with Hewer and the assistant coach getting involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Publicity stunt to get fans hard earned cash and I have no idea what has happened but from an outsider it looks poor from the club the futures bright,the futures blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkw Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 The whole thing just made no sense, sadly I think the whitehaven fans have been taken for a ride, I wonder where the money pledged will end up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rango Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 The whitehaven chairman needs to resign. He’s proven to have no business sense whatsoever and the whitehaven supporters are the ones who are ultimately suffering again. Saying all that us townies could see it coming a mile off!

bobg Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 If I was a haven fan I would want my money back, they have been totally conned, where has the money raised gone? That’s if much was raised to start with or just pledges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun mc Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Agree there DKW, it didn't stack up. Now the investors won't jump in because of a shortage of the right information when during the week it was only the transferring over of the late Mrs Raaz's shares that was the step they needed for 100% control. Something else has come out of the wood - as Donald has alluded to - sounds like the debts are greater than were declared initially They've got a shortfall now, who's going to stump up the cash? I hope they have kept records of the donations, but if they can't provide the right figures on their debts after 2 weeks, then I can forsee it going down a black hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlisle1921 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 So will people who paid 250 quid for a season ticket for the remainder of this year and next year still get them or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 When push comes to shove and it’s time to put all the cards on the table and the commitment is finally having to be made there’s no hiding place and looks like things have been kept hidden which couldn’t be any longer and it’s made them think twice about what they’re taking on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voodooguru Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Gotta feel for the Haven fans, hope they can keep the club going. Sadly it's no great surprise to see that this has happened as something seemed off looking from the outside. The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think as fans we could see cracks appearing but just hoped our board would get it sorted. Sounds like something has come out of the woodwork but I don’t know what, if that is true. The RFL were doing due diligence on the guy. Will wait and see this weeks saga and decide if I want my money back. Thanks for the support for us fans.

As a Town supporter I would hate to see your club going down the pan because of incompetence at board level. I hope every thing gets sorted for you.

JMB Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 If the consortium have pulled out surely the moneys already raised through the supporters will help the club finish the season off, I for one would not want my money back if it was helping the club, but its also the bigger picture of the clubs future, none of the present BOD have the finances available to push the club onwards after the 2018 season. And now they are saying the takeover could be back on, what worry's me is how people at a wedding last night found out before the clubs general manager did at 9.15am this morning, its not very professional of the consortium is it, or is there local involvement in the take over bid??, just hope Haven get it all sorted out this week especially after all the fund raising and donations that have been done by the supporters.

It’s a shambles tbh marra. You could ask for your money back but I doubt you’ll get it. Getting new leadership on your board would be a good start. It’s just a shame it’s the ordinary fans that end up carrying the can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
