I bet there's a physicist, sitting in a concrete bunker, somewhere under the Hadron Collider, with a similar set of buttons of which he has similar scant knowledge as your good self. China Syndrome here we come?

Anyway, it's certainly good to learn that everyone who has ever run the Bulls has been fully able to do so, the club has been in cheeky if not rude health, and that we've always been cash rich. Makes you wonder what all the fuss was about. There are some odd people, you know, that have falsely been suggesting things weren't always that cushty with our finances. A plague on their houses. If we'd been in serious bother then we'd have had to have a last throw of the dice like a "Quest For Survival", or something, wouldn't we?

If Mr. Hood was indeed able to show this, then presumably telling the fans that unless they stumped of half a million pounds in short order, we were done for, happened in some other parallel universe that I had the misfortune to inhabit for a while.

Mind you, one thing we will never know is what would have happened had Caisley not come in and put the club into administration. We might have survived, and even prospered. But if we had, it would only have been due to the largesse of fans and many other well-wishers, such as the chairman of Widnes. Oddly I don't see any mention of them in the quote.

Yesterday I was thinking the club were unwise to criticise the T and A for their reporting of the OK ownership/legal dispute story as their clearly is something to it, and the local paper is under an obligation to report it.

However, on reading the Hood article and particularly the section Blotto refers to, i'm asking myself quite what's going on. They have made the case on Hood's behalf that in May 2012 when Hood and Bennet stepped down the club had 200k. Did Ross not think it worth mentioning that this was all that was left from £1.5m for the lease on the ground and 500k the club begged from us and other supporters? That Hood himself had said they needed 500k or the Leeds game on Good Friday would be the club's last? The editor should carpet Heppenstall over this as it's frankly risible.

Sadly, it's only too easy to make disingenuous statements by carefully selecting the dates on which you base your assertions. Especially when there are few [if any] who could dispute those assertions from a position of having some real inside knowledge. I mean governments do it all the time....

Obviously I'm not suggesting this has happened as I really don't know and certainly I couldn't prove it, but it could be true that £n was in the account on any particular specific day and that a whacking great bill was due to be debited the day after, who knows but the then board and executives?
