What’s happening with the ownership group, have they pulled the plug? If so, why, League 1 Champions last year, mid table this year up to now, so not disastrous, what do they want / expect?

As stated on the other thread, our home ground is in the wrong place, and we need decent owners!! Unfortunately we've never really had the owners part nailed down all the way back to the Celtic Crusaders days, and being so far from Wrexham doesn't help for crowds.

I really wish NWC all the best and hope that they can come through this adversity. Hopefully someone will step up. There is a massive problem with funds at this level of RL at the moment.

Given that the players apparently haven't been paid for a while, it'll be 'interesting' to see what sort of a team we put out (if any).

They are scammers who are only interested in taking money from people. What you can read on truspilot is by all accounts just the tip of the iceberg.

Good luck to everyone this weekend. I could go to Keighley but decided not to, partly because of work the following day and only just started back after recovering from surgery. It's one of my favourite away trips (despite the results over the years).

My prediction is it won't be a close game. I would have said either way before yesterday's announcement, but now I'll just be glad if we still have a team on the pitch at full time.

[John Drake]

Can we keep this to match discussions.

There is already a separate thread on the Crusaders situation.

Thanks.

[Phil W]

Another exciting round of matches this weekend. I'm making the trip to Hunslet with Thunder. As always if you're near a Championship game get yourself along. Here's my look ahead to Hunslet v Thunder and the rest of the action https://www.philworld.co.uk/post/hunslet-v-newcastle-thunder-preview

[The Hallucinating Goose]

The London stream has started.

[Johnny Ringo]

Come on Sheffield, make them work for it.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

43 seconds gone and London are over!

[Johnny Ringo]

Oh dear a try in less than 50 seconds.

 

[The Hallucinating Goose]

4 mins gone and London are in again! 

This is gonna be a long day for Sheffield...

[Johnny Ringo]

4 mins and  12 - 0

[Johnny Ringo]

16 - 0 already. A point a minute.

I'll give it a few more minutes then switch off. It's very rare you see a part time team beat a team in full time environment. Too one sided to enjoy. 

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Just stepped out for a moment and oh look, London are in again!

17 mins gone, London 16-0 Sheffield.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

London try...
