Blue for starters ! Not that I think anything is logical marketing wise, a gamble more like.

Nigel Wood was the Gordon Brown of Rugby League .... totally incompetent but still thought he was good and that it was everyone else who were the clueless 'nob 'eds. But despite everything still had his supporters (eg Office Boy). The state of the club now compared to the state of the club when Mr Full of Sh!te Clown was around just says it all ... no argument needed ... discussion "N/A". Dark days indeed.

The thing is with Nigel Wood, he's actually a very nice guy if you ever meet and talk to him. It's just some of his ideas and some of the things he does which make him a bit of a to$$ pot.

I had heard a lot about him before I met him and was quite looking forward to meeting this monsterous ogre, but he's far from it.

Well there aint no drama in my life, MM, and I'm reet happy .... see -

And Yob .... you don't have to be a monstrous ogre to be clueless. Yep, Nige does come across as very nice. I'm sure he means well. But .... let's just say ... he just "doesn't get it". And Jeffrey Dahmer was a "nice guy" but he went around killing and eating people. It's a funny ol' world, ain't it just?

I don't see why folks still give Wood the bird, You can't be so sure of all the work he did at Halifax rlfc otherwise you wouldn't call him. I'm not defending him, hell, he made my dad redundant while working for the club during his time at Halifax as CEO, sometimes that's aprt of the game, but I'm sure he didn't do it out of spite or dislike, maybe it was a business reason, which ties us into the other popular thread on here at the moment, keeping the club alive financially......
