Mick making fun of people spreading rumour and being misleading on Twitter...

I think I've taken the wrong colour pill and disappeared down an infinitly long rabbit hole.

Hopefully I'll hit my head when I reach the bottom, knock myself out and I'll wake up with a team to follow...

So after a weekend away and not looking every 10 minutes at this feed, and haven't got time to read 20 pages, can someone help and tell me what on earth happened to the deal that Thorne/Richardson/Green had allegedly done with Pettit before the official papers to put us in liquidation had been served. Has their been any confirmation or further information?

Again this was all just rumors and nothing happened.

I tweeted about it last night but Batley are splitting the gate money with the players and staff that haven't been paid.

The admission prices are £10 adults and £5 children, so not too unrealistic to hope for a crowd of 2000.

Because the administrator has sold the kits, logo, intellectual property to the Bradford Bulls. Batley have arranged for a special Bradford shirt in the Red Amber and Black hoops that will be worn by Rohan Smith's Bradford Select side.

Which after the game will be auctioned off at £100 a shirt with all money raised going towards the gate receipts which Batley Bulldogs chairman Kevin Nichols will hand to Rohan Smith after the game.

This is why Rugby League is the greatest game. Fact.

Is this anywhere else except your twitter feed?

Depends if my colleagues deem the story newsworthy.

Obviously it's a great gesture and one which Rohan is most greatful for.

RFL still need to approve if the game can go ahead.

Danny Lockwood has also done a story on it if you're like one of these serial doubters on here.

The RFL are looking to confirm that the fixture and agreements in place will get the green light tomorrow.
