You guys just need to be careful that York become a big contender as I have heard Campbell has bought them outright aswell as the ground. I didn't think you could own 2 different clubs at the same time. Surely RFL rules prohibit that. As he is still the majority shareholder at Fev I can't for the life of me see how he can "own" York outright as well. "Out of the way,son. Where's my medal?"

binosh Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Persimmon Homes likely to build on the old ground and have first refusal on it, however there are current commercial opportunities within and surrounding for generating income.

Ground has cost about £50m to build. Some going if he's bought that off the council. http://www.alldesignandprint.co.uk Printing & Graphic Design with Nationwide Service Programmes | Leaflets | Cards | Banners & Flags | Letterheads | Tickets | Magazines | Folders | Brand Identity plus much more Official Matchday Programme Print & Design Partner to York City Knights, Heworth ARLFC, York Acorn RLFC & Hunslet RLFC Official Player Sponsor of Marcus Stock for the 2020 Season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blues Ox Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 From a purley selfish point of view Im not too disappointed on Ridyard going to Leigh, obviously weakens one of our main rivals for next season while strengthening a team who I dont expect to be challenging the top 4.

Depends if and then who Fev use the money to sign. Ridyard is a clas act, but it’s big money for an injury prone player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be surprising if it were anything else given the timeline of events but you never know. Realistically now I reckon Fev are about 5 or 6 good players short and in those I would say 2 of them would be half backs to run the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Shepherd Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I hope we put the Riddy money to good use. To my mind we're short on two proven, quality halfbacks. All well and good trumpeting the PNG lads, but they are totally untested in our competition, not here yet (our visa track record is not good) and might not be as good as their YouTube highlights. As for our former coach: A mate of mine posted on Facebook comparing him to a lady garden, mocked his hobbit like features and wished him a fiery death in Mordor. Difficult to argue. If we make the top 8 next year, I will be astonished. I'll be there lapping up the punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
