Big loss, notice they've said announcing more "additions" this evening... Hope it isn't a case of panicking!

Good solid hardworking forward,but after suffering a few head knocks I’m glad he’s put his long term health first.

Forward tonight apparently absolutely nothing on socials regarding rumours of player issues who’s injured when our Aussies are turning up. Where’s Dion ? Not looking good Game in 6 week

I'd heard Dion hadn't gone anywhere but not seen anything. Aussies probably be after Xmas

Heard one of the Kells forwards as been down could be him signing

On the post it said "more additions" so I'm expecting more than one being announced? 

[donald]

Guy graham and Daniel Spencer tonks from Salford the new recruits

Fantastic to get Guy signed up again, not heard of Spencer-Tonks but hopefully a good'un.

Think its not just the players with some issues, its also coaching and back room staff. Hope all gets sorted soon so they can back on schedule with pre season, these disruptions of stop start don't help.

No updates coming out the club it seems. Anyone heard if/when new lads are coming over?

It looking like the board are just hoping there are 2 worse teams than us,there certainly won’t be a dead duck like Town last year & Keighley have been making some quality signings since getting promoted so it looks like a season long battle with Swinton,Newcastle & maybe London to finish third from bottom.

Not sure how the named teams have recruited but it'll be interesting between us and them. I thought this year was about pushing up the table

Play town in 3&1/2 week and absolutely nothing coming from the Club. 11 at training Friday being made up with trialists summat not right.

Big loss with Bulman leaving, absolutely shocking!! Don't be surprised to see him end up at Barrow! No other squad news coming out either... Who else has left?! Won't have a team come the start of the season.

Shame it’s not a Board member leaving 

[Davo5]

Wow another quality player gone,the club is in free fall and heading for L1 if they are still in business by then.

The time as maybe came for the dreaded merger only way forward if you ask me

For me it's a no brainer, it needs to happen! Both clubs struggling financially. Only 10 teams in league 1 next year won't help Towns money pot and if the rumours are true about Haven then we're in the same boat as Town were last season. If we aren't careful we may end up with no semi - pro / professional clubs in west Cumbria. Yes you may lose a few fans who don't want it but the pros outweigh the cons. 1 club, bigger player pool to choose from, both on about women's teams that can be joint as well.

Joke this was known ages ago but only released now poor poor poor Josh Eaves gone 

[Indigogo]

Really feel for you guys, seems to one player after another leaving for various reasons. How many are in the squad at the moment?

Might have enough for a Nines team.

As long as the quality of the new players coming in replicates the players leaving it shouldn't be a problem.
