Correct!! Wakey actually offered Brough to us but we showed no interest when they wanted money aswell.

Just to lighten the mood Danny Brough anagram "Rugby on hand"

LOL

Doh!!! I read 2 pages before i realized

we do now crocker is'nt coming

You don't need him, you've got the prodigal son,the amazing Chris Thorman!

Didnt know you were after him!

If we're not, we should be.Just the player we need.

www.skysports.com/story/0,19528, ... 84,00.html Kear says they dont need to sell anyone but it does seem funny that all of a sudden there will be £100,000 for him to improve the squad from the sale of extra shares and the reported fee from the Giants for Brough will be £100,000.

I seriously cant see anyone paying fees in this day and age, and certainly not that ammount for Brough.

Which could be why they have gone down the share issue approach.

What happens if this doesn't work? How many points did Rochdale lose by going into liquidation? Would this have an impact on their SL licence if it was to happen?

Ya not gonna get Brown,Wild,Eorl,Robbo,Mcnally or anyone else you quoted apart from maybe Korky or Griff in exchange for Brough.

He is a decent player, £100k worth well that is debatable but we certainly won't be letting any of our better players go in order to bring him in.

and didn't they have some money raising gimic at the start of the season (for stadium naming rights?) that was announced and then we heard nothing. Does anyone know what happened with this?

Did they ever announce their season ticket numbers?

Plus their crowd versus Wigan - with a special offer - was very poor.

A team going well yet their crowds are dissapointing. Maybe the people of Wakey are just not that bothered?

Crowds have been significantly down for them this season, which is a bit of a mystery to me as they've been going well.

It doesn't bode all that well for them this IMO and certainly doesn't help them in the stadium side of things.

Care to elaborate any further??

Don't think crowd size will have anything to do with it! We have a site in place, a builder is place, have already sold our ground etc etc.

If you have already sold your ground recently I would be extremely concerned. Selling property in a recession is bad idea unless you are being forced to by the bank.

Dwindling crowds despite decent on pitch performances certainly doesn't bode well when you want to convince the relevant people that this stadium is a worthwhile venture. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out...

nope, sold in 2007 l think. (at the peak!)

Planning permission yet?

That is the point though, isn't??

The relevant people are already convinced! (so they tell us)

on what??

The proposed new ground or belle vue??
