Taking Brews point about membership, I posted earlier that I would seriously consider joining, however until the club have not only business men at the helm but people also understand how to run a rugby club my pennies are staying put, they might not earn much in the bank but …

So London are now begging for £350k to survive the winter. Just the start of things to come imo. What happens next year? A request for yet another £350k? It's all just papering over the cracks. Massive reform needed.

London have said they need 900k to get through next season, with 350k needed in the next month or so, so they can make commitments. A lot of money to find in RL.

Our own situation though, everything has gone very quiet. Had the announcement about Tangata re-signing but nothing since. No update on the financial situation, coach, signings, sponsors for 2025. Nothing at all. And anyone who dares mention it on the facebook fans forum is labelled a troll or negative.

We are used to it at FCHT. A chairman/owner who treats the supporters with utter contempt then wonders why attendances are reducing.

With Fax though, there is probably a hell of a lot going on behind the scenes. Fax have always been extremely good in communicating with the support base so its no surprise some are getting frustrated.

I was concerned with some of the things Ive heard why Lee Kenny stepped down. Got the impression he was one of the good guys and from what Ive been told, he didnt want to hang around given the direction others wanted to go. Rumours will only strengthen the longer there is silence.

Not surprised anyone doesn’t want to be involved and hang around a rugby league club these days and my concerns are that the same goes for why anyone would want to get involved and if there are any “others” for Fax to be going anywhere.

Just seen the latest update from the club - very upbeat whilst telling us absolutely nothing

Off on a tangent, there was a rugby league question on The Chase today. Which score in Rugby League scores an odd number of points? a). a try, b) a penalty or c) a drop goal. After much laughing both contestant and chaser guessed the right answer. So not only did they not know, they thought a question about RL "funny". Well guys, you ain't heard nothing yet. Just wait for the next question. In what sport can a team finishing top NOT get promoted but the 2nd team can, and a team can NOT get relegated but the 2nd from bottom can. Bradley and the Beast will laugh their socks off!

Instead of using the "closed shop" model of Australia, they should be shoring up the lower leagues so whoever gets promoted doesn't just spend 1 season there getting battered week after week. While I admire London giving it a go, I'm not sure I could have put up with some of the cricket scores they amassed.

West Tigers hardly an advert for no relegation either. Consistently bottom half (if not bottom) for over a decade. So what's the answer?

Interesting that the breck homes logo appears on the current sponsors page.

Strange that they have no obvious links to Halifax and are Preston based. Unless they have a development starting in the area soon perhaps?

Currently sponsor the back of AFC Fylde shirts. But a quick glance at their website they have no operations outside of the north west.
