Batley chairman is 'clearing things up' on their total RL forum. Maybe someone with an account on there would like to ask him to clear up his Widnes related comments?

Done it for you. Just cause i like the banter with you mutants
"How are you ever in the position when you apparently made profit last year ?.

By the way Widnes fans are saying maybe get your own house in order before commenting on the profitablity of other clubs.

Their players are registered !!! "

Well, it's because last year we made a profit. Does that answer your question?

Oh, and well done Widnes. I am delighted for them, as I personally have a lot of time for them as a club. I am sure they are delighted you have come on here to represent them.

Delighted, Probably as they asked someone with a account on here to do it.

Did you make a Profit by not paying the bills then ?. ( your chairman " the only creditors we have are Hmrc ).
Well done, might as well call you The Batley Crusaders !!! Make profit but not pay the taxman

I like this, Anyone got a widnes shirt, Might swap teams !!, Well actually not next year, maybe the year after

Not really. The mock outrage is boring.

I seem to have upset some Widnes fans which i did not intend to do so i apologise.Steve has done agreat job since he took over at the Club as he has invested in facilities youth and infrastructure not just first team which must put you in good stead for a franchise and i also think Fax now have a great new stand and are worthy but Barrow have not spent on their ground so may fall at that fence even though SL in Cumbria would be a good thing.I am afraid Crusaders in my view have let us down by going in to administration and that should go against them but i think not! When i mentioned Widnes you were the only Club who i knew had announced a profit and i was making the point that it was because Steve had put a loadof money in which is true and that i did not expect many Clubs to make a profit which i still donot as it is so difficult.It was harder for us to make a profit which was on the back of a lot of help from our supporters.I would not mind Steve investing in Batley but he is Widnes through and through so thats unlikely!!I certainly do not begrudge your Club in any way.We in fact are grateful to your supporters for turning out in numbers at Blackpool which indirectly helped us as it was a shared gate.We will be paying HMRC so eventually we will get our players registered and look forward to some great games against all Clubs obviously including Widnes.By the way we certainly did not put beer prices up when you came so i donot know where that came from.Anyway good luck and i have now said what i wanted to.

Cheers Kevin, nice to see chairman respond.

ill be coming to the mount to hopefully watch us get revenge for that final defeat!

And guys as i said before Kevin is one of the best chairman around and Batley have some of the best fans around, i think his comments have been took in the wrong way.

Seems to be genuine, in which case thanks for coming on here and clarifying your position. Like I've said earlier, I can understand the frustration of many people involved with clubs in this division. I'm just frustrated myself that the Widnes club all too often is a target for people's ire. We've suffered more than a lot of clubs at the hands of the sports ruling body over the years.

I don't know how anyone can stay mad at Batley anyway - they're everyone's favourite away day, it seems!
