hmmm maybe the final details haven't been ironed out so there not fully signed atm

Suprise

First no Kear then no signings,field day or what !

so assuming one of the signings is paul johnson, does anybody have any idea who the other is?

must admit it was on the back of my mind but do you think that JK might of had other arrangements and the signings had to be delayed as we might of been waiting on the stosic situation, the news on the stadium front sounds good too but we have to again wait until 7th / 9th of Dec, so we have to hope on that say that all will come to them how waits

Would hazard an educated guess at Paul King seeing as Stos has confirmed today that he's leaving the club.

if you read though you find Paul Kings name has been mentioned enough time, what was said that both players have vast experience within the SL

Thought Ted was excellent, spoke well and said what needed to be said. He answered the tax problems well and mentioned a press conference in the coming weeks about the ground.. happy times, even Diane was good.

Its gets depresing listening to some of the supporters there at times and you call tell by the way Beans answers that he gets pee'd off with it too. Yes he wants to keep all the best players but in reality we are a small club (compared to others) who do brilliantly to perform like we do on such tight margins. No idea who the woman was near us but I was ready to hold her back when Ted walked past as she went mental.

Terry was excellent, Korki looks really happy and Morrison can talk for England and he seems really enthused about coaching at the club.

Pie and peas were lovely and even the beer tasted good......but beer usually does.

All in all a good night even without Lord Kear, beans is a good understudy and you can tell the boys like him.

Good balenced report on the proceedings there Simc. Thanks

It is JK's Birthday and he is out celebrating (and no - it's not his new job!

)

Any news on the two new signings?

Supposedly will be released in the next few days. Both have SL and international experience. With those clues it narrows it down a little.

Don't know about that, with all these emerging nations and grandparent nationality stuff it seems like nearly every SL player is an international

The panel were asked to explain the difference between Federation players,Non Federation,Quota players etc, and a question was asked from the audience, "Why is Sam Obst still classed as a Quota player when he has been over here so long and yet J.D isn't a quota player?
This question seemed to be overlooked at the meeting, so can anyone explain on here?

Obst has not got a European passport, Demetriou has.

Thanks for clearing that up

For someone who lives on the wrong side of the pennines and so couldn't attend, can you summarise waht was said about the tax issue

Thanks

'It's a non-story' is what he said. We have a smaller tax bill this year than last and it is disappointing that it made the news.

Also confirmed that it had no effect on player recruitment and that in his opinion (Ted) we would be stronger this year than last!

Ted was miffed that it had got into the press because as far as he was concerned a deal had already being made with the taxman and payments were being met. He said that cause of it was a cash flow problem as crowds were down last year; he didn’t seem overly concerned by it.

Any news on Broughy??

Still in negotiations.

I suppose if Henderson can play for Scotland with his shorts on back to front anyone can play international RL.

Has king represetative honours?

Somone near us was suggesting it may be Westwood. Would love that!

benny would love to come home, and i'm sure he will eventually, but unless there's trouble at wire and we can snap him up cheap I can't see it until were in our new home.

Today Stanley, tomorrow the world.

Johnson.
King.
