There isn't.
And given the financial issues well publicised recently, it would hardly be much of a fscking story anyway, or did you think we'd luckily found a suitcase full of cash?

You're a fan? Where have you been the last few years? 3 posts?
I don't "deserve" to know if the staff have been paid. What has it got to do with me, or you?

No, they don't. That's just where you're totally wrong. The STAFF deserve to be paid assuming they are doing their job. The players are legally entitled to be paid, but whether they "deserve" to draw their sizeable wedge over what will be a bleak winter for the club is a completely different question. The blunt answer is :
I'd suggest that the players do NOT "deserve" to be paid, because they are the reason that we are in the financial mire. They haven't kept their side of the bargain. They failed miserably in the league, they failed miserably in the Cup, they had a great chance to salvage a little bit from their abortion of a season at Featherstone, where their wages and indeed the club I support were all on the line, and they got nilled. They got thrashed by part timers. They got out-enthused. That is the worst part.

Maybe the players know that if they win the plate game on Sunday they might just get paid.
If that is true then great. I'll be there but it's an embarrassment that we are in that toilet of a game, and it's even worse that despite an 80-nil win recently, there is no feeling of certainty on this forum that this lot will definitely beat even the part-time basket-case that is Sheffield. That's where we're at. The team that is in that situation is however down to get the same pay, week in week out, as if they had won the playoffs and got promoted. It might make the point that they had not got at Fev kickoff-time. If that is the situation they are in, then it is a situation of their own making. The only ones I have sympathy for are the new signings.

Or what if they decide to not bother.
Then it'll be pretty much the same as the Fev game. And several others.
Sorry to be rather blunt. My perspective is that while I keep going and keep supporting, I have had this sense that the club is hanging by a thread as a result of the players' failings, and if the worst came to the worst, and the whole thing folded, the players would have only themselves to blame.
