Chris Taylor Posted March 14, 2024 Posted March 14, 2024 I'm looking forward to communications made the club in response to these before I want to pass judgement. At this moment in time, I can't see anything unless there are other sources? 2008 RFL Wakefield & District Young Volunteer of the Year

Never had one with a photo on but never had to pay for it to be delivered before.Most seasons i pick it up before when attending friendlies but not been to any this year.We were struggling to get a squad together.
Trinity1873 Posted March 14, 2024 Posted March 14, 2024 You can currently send a small parcel weighing up to 2 kilograms via Royal Mail 48 Tracked [2 day delivery] for £3.29. I've just posted one this morning. A Large Letter Royal Mail 48 Tracked cost £2.70

Based on their gates and the size of the wage bill it was obvious that directors (or director) were putting loads of money in.

I shudder to think what they lost in 2023 but no doubt we'll find out in a few months' time. 1 "We'll sell you a seat .... but you'll only need the edge of it!"

I don't think they got involved at Salford when a number of players,businesses,and organisations were not paid. Same CEO may be key. No reserves,but resilience,persistence and determination are omnipotent.

Selling assets just to cover losses and waste on players is a daft route to take. If the land is sold it should only be spent on securing the clubs future, such as drastically improving the ground and investing in assets to generate revenue. 4
