fridays match

[w/haven lass]

heard a "rumour" that the match on friday might not go ahead,anyone know if this is true

[Maca]

Why not ?

[w/haven lass]

something to do with going bust.....hopefully will just be a load of cack, was looking forward to kicking off the festival with watching this

[Maca]

A wonder if theres any news on them with whats happening.

[WHITEHAVENHERO]

No they are in trouble and there is doubts about if they will turn up. Do not know if that would be a good thing or a bad thing for us? Gives us a rest to recharge the batteries that they seem to need after last performance. or make us more rusty?

D day for Doncaster is Wednesday. Let's hope for they pull through

[Maca]

they wouldn't just not turn up they'd have to tell the team there playing surely, good luck to them tho wouldn't like to see any team go under.

[WHITEHAVENHERO]

Here Here mate lets hope they survive! Good Luck to them.

If the weather carries on like this, will be lucky if there is a 1000 there, mixed forecasts on a few weather sites, but things dont bode well for the game, or Whitehavens biggest event over the weekend.

From what I understand, there is a meeting on Wednesday evening and if the necessary money is not forthcoming, the club will be put into Liquidation.

Must be a nightmare for the board, because:

a) They probably won't know until Thursday if the match is going ahead
b) If the match doesn't go ahead, the club will suffer a loss of income that has already been budgeted for and perhaps pre-spent
c) Again if the match doesn't go ahead, in addition to the loss of pay-on-the-gate income, the club will need to reimburse 1/12th of the Season Ticket costs to Season Ticket holders, again money already probably spent.

Potentially the demise of Doncaster could have a knock-on effect for Whitehaven through the loss of income, we might need to release a player or two!!

Being selfish, lets hope they survive for at least one more week, so they can fulfil the fixture on Friday night.

However, if there is a bucket collection, I for one will NOT contribute. Made the mistake with Halifax, and now they are going Full-Time in 2008 which could push Haven further down the pecking order.

My 25 th today mate, I told her I booked them for her but they were bizzy today, so I told her they said they give her a wave on Friday as they go over, and believe me you can see their faces when they go over my garden, I seem to be in the area they turn around to go back for another run. Anyway congrats on the anniversary mate.

The reason they had such a bad game was they had a rest. Even most fulltime teams hate having a rest before the last few weeks of a season and even then its touch and go!
With a part time team you lose more because you do not train as much as top flight. 80% of the time a rest is the worst thing for a side!:) Ever wonder why the start of a season for every team is pretty average games!
