Had a Hudds fan try his hardest to convince me at the game, cos he was "in the know", that it was Sheffield who were bankrupt and Hudds were sacrificed to save them.

Well, you learn something new every day...

Always had a soft spot for Salford so I will be supporting you guys throughout your playoff run.
Best of luck.

I like jools as she makes every one else on this forum or any other look good.

Just seen the pen given against us for the McQueen "infringement."
Absolute shocking decision.
McQueen ought to be ashamed of himself..... Nearly as bad as Myler......

The referees spend a lot of the game gesturing and telling players to get up and play the ball for far more than just a few fingers resting on a shoulder. It was poor from McQueen but ever worse by Kendall.

It was hits a ridiculous decision. It probably only cost us a few grand in the bank instead of our superleague status.

Don't forget what Watson said last week about Myler, would love to ask him what he thought about MacQueen or as he taken any action with him.

Let’s not forget that we basically got a £1.2 million hospitality block for free and many more £thousands of unpaid for goods and services too, so we’re no angels either.

We managed without destroying another club though and got into Super League fair and square.

When were the unpaid goods and services?

That's only because would have cost builders more to knock it down than it was worth .Though when Mr Carter took over the club he paid out to all creditors ,or bills that were out standing .Think that would have cost more than thousands of pounds .Any though of Huddersfield not been relegated when they finished bottom four year on the trot ,because they were playing in a football stadium .

FFS that was twenty years ago and a completely different club, so lets just look forwards instead of backwards for a change

I think that's a little unfair to quote Avenger. All he was saying is that it's not really fair to have a go at other clubs for doing something to save their club at the expense of others when we've done similar, admittedly on a smaller scale.
He's just showing the full picture.

At the same time as the Hospitality block and the administration that followed. Lots of local businesses and staff from the club didn’t get paid.

How long was it since Huddersfield and Sheffield merged?

Just to give the full picture. MC paid everyone when he took over as far as I remember. He could have claimed administration but took the hit to help out suppliers and improve our broken rep.

Getting a bit of topic now but . . .

For the full picture, The Hospitality block was defaulted upon under the Pearman regime, After that Administration, Ted did the deal for it to remain but he subsequently put us back in an insolvency event which lead to Glover taking us over.

Elston then ran the club into the ground again leading to another potential Administration which had it happened would have seen us relegated to the 3rd tier of the sport. Chris Brereton and Mike Carter took on the club and avoided the Administration for a variety of reasons which I’ve posted about before. They made deals with creditors and paid everyone something with some receiving full payment from the club.

What’s that got to do with anything?

Regarding the hospitality block I think you might be wrong unless I am. At that time I’m sure the club entered into a CVA, and although the % in the £ was quite small, the club did make some payment to it’s creditors.

That's how I remember it too

1999 but as said what as that got to do with it

I suppose that's one way to describe it

Remember it well , he went on a rampaging run and ran himself into touch ,thankfully he did a fair bit better from then on .

Anyway, back on topic,
I got Tini's shirt after the game - what a great guy he is!






Had to swap him my White British Coal 1989 shirt for it though!

About as relevant as this!

Is it?

If you say so.
