Pretending there was nobody else there is insulting to everyone else's intelligence. Compromising the biosecurity protocols for the Competition is insulting to the Sport and their competitors. I said sadly it reinforces a stereotype, not that I agree with it in the slightest, which has continually been used to beat Fev Rovers throughout recent history. I would have hoped the management would want to challenge that at every opportunity. Instead this feels incredibly tinpot - though I suspect given the mutual "agreement" mentioned by the RFL press release, this public attitude may just be a sop to their own fans whereas in private they're far more concerned and conciliatory.

Is/was there an internal culture that they could no longer tolerate? I think there may well have been 4 who went around the same time (CEO, Football Manager, Finance Manager and Head of Comms), although one departure had already been announced in February with 1 of the others following him to BCAFC.

Its going to depend on next seasons structure. No point having a playoff final if they decide to promote 2 clubs so it would mean a change to the structure and I can't see them having 2 finals with Fev and Toulouse in different ones as it would be really unfair on both of them. Afterall I fancy Halifax's chances of beating either of the top 2 in a one off game where as having to beat both of them I simply can not see happening.

Angelic Cynic Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 So those nasty police,who weren't even from south Yorkshire, told fibs about being obstructed,but there was obstruction of the governing body of the sport yet it results in only this,hardly condign,punishment. https://www.pontefractandcastlefordexpress.co.uk/health/coronavirus/featherstone-rovers-chiefs-say-theyve-been-vindicated-after-club-escapes-further-punishment-over-alleged-covid-breach-3298716 The publicity for the sport is overwhelming.Again. No reserves,but resilience,persistence and determination are omnipotent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasginger Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I'm glad we lost on Sunday, imagine the points %loss we would have suffered then. It seems strange that when this was brought to the RFL's attention in March, yet they've waited until after the Toulouse game to announce the punishment. Now I might be a bit slow on the uptake here, but I thought the Police were the guardians of the law, because about 6 weeks ago their attempt to close all the bars in the club, and revoke it's licence due to lack of cooperation was over turned by the council. Anyway I'm happy because the RFL aren't getting rid of Fev or it's supporters anytime soon. So carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WMDC meeting to discuss the police request to revoke the alcohol licence was on 6th July, 4 weeks ago. The RFL are unlikely to have done much formally before then in order not to prejudice any official investigation, so it's not unreasonable that any findings have just been announced. There's no conspiracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what you'll find is, yes of course we talk of conspiracy theories. I mean they do appear to have a track record the RFL. But after that, all it is doing is hardening the resolve not just of those involved in the running of the club, but as important are the fans and their desire to stand as that BLUE WALL.

Mmm I wonder if there's a way for Mr Campbell and other senior members of the club, to re-coup the fine. Now that would jolly nice... don't you think Skids.
