The positive announcements should hopefully include players that are staying and some additions, preferably including four seasoned props

Well I'm glad they didn't include the whole article by email like they have in recent weeks. I'm a regular reader of the match day programme and I usually buy it to read the coaches and chairmans comments. Not particularly impressed recently to pay £3 for articles that I have already read by email.

I would expect some news on the financials too. Something like who's going to be sponsoring us.

How long does the Provident deal run? I can't imagine them pulling out just because we're no longer in SL, particularly with them being a local firm as well. That said, all the shirt advertising loses value when we are no longer on tv, so I'd guess we are more likely to see even lower profile [and value] stuff than we've been used to over the last few years. Oh for the days when we were backed by the biggest computer manufacturer in the world..

Sponsors like good news for PR purposes, and lets face it compared to this season theres going to be a bit more good news coming out of the club next season if Greens cryptic comments amount to anything of a squad. The size of the deal may be more the discussion point.

Provident deal was 1.2 million spread over 4 years. Can't see them pulling out with two years left given effort they've put in this year on social media. Guess they may want negotiate amount down although it's relatively small money to them and good publicity of keeping same level of sponsorship may negate the reduced exposure/prestige level of championship rugby.

Not got the paper yet, but seen on the online preview of today's League Express we are abandoning the appeal.

Anyone read it/got the details?

Surely not when he was supposedly given legal advice that the club was 100% certain to win the case ?

Do you really need to fart in with your sarky rubbish? Everyone here sees it as bleedin obvious that whatever the chances of winning, if 6 points back is totally irrelevant then the game isn't worth the candle. Green himself made almost exactly that point and it was widely reported. It's his money, and so Green can surely choose whether to waste it or not.

The thing is, you know all this, and so your post is just the sort of pointless childish, sneering drivel that sadly our situation will continue to attract, like poop to a bogbrush.
