There were 250,000 no voting shares which all the other SL clubs subscribed to in order to make the merged club viable. These were "bought back" in 2004 (ish). The substance of these was a loan.

That's the one reaon I haven't been too quick to throw my views ino the cauldren, Hudds fan should do the same.

HMRC

Lloyd bank

With the clubs all being unanimously in support of this, you'd have to suspect they'll all also vote to keep them in SL. I personally hope so. Fingers crossed for a 'proper' buyer in the close season.

Need more information but forming a judgement, it's good news they have been saved but there isn't enough detail of what happens next for me. Also I would imagine other clubs in SL who have suffered with financial troubles might be feeling a bit bitter over this news.

Ah yes, the famous shares, chewed up by the board, not offered to anyone else as promised.

None of that statement is correct

I think frepneyboy has a bit of a personal vendetta against the previous board and directors, a touch unhealthy to have not moved on.

I've moved on, it is just amusing thinking back to what i've seen on here over the last 15 years.

I think we should all have t shirts that says "AP says relax"

15 years????

Been reading the message boards sine the orginal run by Chris Turner in 1997

ah right, same as me then, but RLFans is a far cry from where we started.

Now that was a good message board

It used to have the email round group - occasionally I still get emails from Hullfans (usually where someone has got a virus but has hullfans email in their address book) - that was light years away from where we are now!!

because it was run by FC fans, for FC fans, Chris had no axe to grind with anyone.

I'm still gutted that I missed the free for all on the last day before it closed down

Yes it was, especially the 'ignore user' button.

can do it on here as well, using "foes"

So the current mods do?

Some mods of other clubs do.

Udders as example

Yup, some self-righteous individuals moderating all over RLFans.

I only post on here these days, don't get involved elswhere and I can honestly say no Hull mods have any axes to grind or any agendas.

experience and many other people's thoughts would disagree, but I don't want to breach the AUP, so we'll move along, The Bulls..................

You should have seen Anakin in action over on the HKR board a few months ago. Very nearly caused a peasant's revolt.

He once banned someone for writing in capital letters
