Sod it, I'm not going. 60% of my motivation was to be the guy who went back to kill Hitler as a baby and I haven't had chance to sort the time machine out.

Change of subject slightly, did I understand that Chisolm had played for France if so how to it affect his nationality status. Is the guy Haggerty who retired now free to play for Toronto? I guess he will be.

And the new owners have to personally guarantee any and all central funding for the next three seasons, being responsible for paying it back if we go pop in admin 4 by the end of 2019.

But that's a really interesting and for once transparent article so we can see exactly what the new owners are getting into. Makes me doubt they'll be anything of substance from the supposed 4pm meeting if the rfl published this in thw last few mins.

I would say he definitely is. The club will have been holding on to his registration, but if the club no longer exists, that registration will be null and void along with all the other players who have just been made redundant.

If - big if obviously - season tickets bought by us mugs are honoured, a new owner will obviously want to sell more season tickets, but would anyone really pay the same price as before (the % reduced buy one get one free upon promotion price)? I doubt it.

But what of those who did pay that price? Free merch vouchers?

Yes, it's down the line but it could be on us sooner than we think.

Think he has a French passport so is EU and not on overseas register, he is, of course, non-federation trained though.

Things are looking up .. we haven't had a "Player X" has joined "Club Y" announcement for over an hour ...

Well based on the RFLs latest release you definitely need to add the word potential to the OP title. Message to Leon....stop misleading people.
