Brilliant news. There’s something great happening at York and such massive potential. This is where it’s at, particularly with Fordy at the helm. Just out of interest, the article mentions ‘large distribution windfall’. Anyone know the figures?

Not only that, his winger scored 6 tries!!   (But Junior still got man of the match in the League Express! That tells you something!)

Not exactly RL news but Rochdale FC’s home game against Bradford City yesterday was cancelled at half time due to the weather/pitch!

Also reported they have not paid their share of cup receipts from the home Challenge Cup ties. According to reports the  RFL have taken this money from distribution money that was due to Bradford. 

A lot of conjecture, with nothing proven, but it doesn't make good reading.

[spanishknight]

Good luck to Ed at Oldham, always gave 100% to the Knights.
