Guess this comes from dereks remark on tv when he said that we had 1300 st holders and being so few the stadium could accommodate social distancing he would ask Toone to allow it.

Given the costs mentioned of putting a game on behind closed doors i dont see any real prospect of games being played.We should take what we can out of the £16 million loan.We will have to see whats left of RL when all the dust settles and the dispute between rfl/sl is resolved.

1. I think Derek said we are financially ok for the rest of the season.

2. If there was no rugby at all this season, what would ST holders expect in return? Me personally, I would relinquish any monies that I've paid. (but that is my choice).

3. If there was any rugby to be played,could social distancing be applied? In my view,yes. (ST holders only)

4. Now then, In the event of rugby being played, Live streaming is a must, (If it is possible of course), to try and get some revenue into the club.

5. I think Mo's suggestion of £30 is a bit steep,(sorry Mo,just my opinion),so let's make it attractive to subscribe to it.

6. How about £15 per Live game or £25 for 2 games?

7. I must admit.I've no idea if these prices are viable or feasible,but they look to be reasonable to a customer/fan to help keep the club healthy.

As Derek is a small business owner I'm wonder how he himself is coping at this time?



Not that I have or ever had much time for the WHO but their distancing advice is now 1 metre, think how much more flexibility that offers everyone out there.



Either way distancing is easy enough in seats, in stands, that is some effort with the gaffer tape. Logically would have to make sure no one touches the barriers. Can't really have security policing the none mixing of non-household members.



An ordered queue when leaving when the match is over...I doubt that. Polite applause as the team come over. All a bit sterile.



All or nothing for me.



With regards ST, I've written it off already. Then again after the free Batley match we got a t-shirt out of it

The £30 came from its £20+ on gameday and it could be watched by more than one fan.

When do you suggest we pay the loan back? A lot of fans keep mentioning the £16m but seem to forget its a loan

Although i get where you are coming from mo, I just don't think £30 would tempt folk, I could be wrong of course. It looks like a case of a suck it and see scenario.

If it's behind close doors why not do like Derek has suggested and get 3 games on at one ground because it would be alot cheaper on clubs and u could then set up a deal were u can pay to watch one of the games or pay a bit more to watch all 3 with the money made from steaming being shared equally between the teams that are playing,if u stream it at a small cost u never know it could even attract new fans to the game when we open up proper

I understand its a loan presumably on terms we can afford, over a reasonable period.



Rimmer seems to have negotiated it on the basis we need it, or is it the tories paying off an instalment for votes received.



I also understand you need to apply to the rl and make a case to access any funds. I would hope any monies are not going to overpaid sl players but to the areas Rimmer has identified.The alleged amount due to be paid to Inglis is ridiculous, no matter how its being paid.Are we going to see an overall reset in sports transfers/wages with the deep recession thats on its way, think we must, in the short term anyhow.

I have been pessimistic about the long term survival of rl.We have a world cup coming up and that needs to be a success. The £16M might bridge us across to that.

There is no point borrowing to pay players not to play, you might as well go tits up and start again later.

Of course the Government are responding to the North turning blue, great isn't it and just think as we get closer to the next election

The Government money is specifically for not paying wages. Anyone borrowing and then doing that would be in deep do da.

So who's paying for the required testing? Who's paying the rental for the ground? Who's paying for the cleaning protocols that need to be in place? Who's paying for transport to the ground? Who's paying for the accommodation required to isolate ALL those involved between testing and games taking place?



SL are talking about restarting in August but it would appear from comments by Michael Carter that they haven't yet thought about what procedure need to be in place nor how much it will cost despite proposing various fixture lists!

It looks like it's more beneficial to not restart this season.
