N2 signings and departures

Great news for the Dale. Jon Feeley did a great job first time round and with Jon Skurr will make a formidable coaching setup.

Looking forward to watching them next season Thumbs Up

Andy Brown cov to South Leics

Luke Coltman hinks to South Leics

Huddersfield have announced that Gavin Rhodes and Tony Stringwell will take over the running of the 2nd XV

In Club Tropicana the drinks are free.....

Great news for us. Having being coached by Jon Feeley during his previous stints at the club, he's a great coach, innovative in his thinking.

Fingers crossed they can bring the success from County level into the club.

why try and lure someone back who couldnt wait to get away for a few quid no thanks

he might be a nice bloke and a good player brb but wanted more than dale would give him so he f-----d off to hull ionions at the first opportunity Angry

"Ionians were offering relatively big money" Compared to who? Other Nat 1 Clubs? I don't think so.

I can assure you that Tinks didn't go to Hull Ionians for the money. He could have got more at most Nat 1 Clubs and certain Premier North Clubs.

I am not sure why he would have stayed at Wharfedale really? He went there on loan from Leeds so you can hardly say he was 'green through and through'. He obviously wanted to play in Nat 1. but he is proving a bit of a 'journey man' as I suspect he will move on again.

Players want to play at a certain level and, if they can get someone to pay them to do so, they are laughing. Who can blame them.

That's the trouble with relegation. As we are finding out this season and Wharfedale found out last season. Lets face it, if Wharfedale had not stayed in N2N they would be losing a few more.

We have retained Minikn, who is in great form following return from injury. He only played in the last quarter of the season and is in the England Counties Squad. Thankfully, we have also retained the backbone of last years squad.

N2N looks strong so no rash statements, promises or predictions from me. Just looking forward to it.

p.s. well done to Wharfedale on staying up. I would much rather travel to Threshfields than Luctonians - no offence.

For your information Tincks's first move was from Otliensians to Wharfedale where he proved to be a professional in the making. It was then that he moved from Wharfedale to Leeds with full encouragement from the Greens, then had a horrendous road accident which would have ended many careers and no doubt limited his. He has moved around since then and he certainly enjoys my goodwill for what it is worth.

If at the end of his travels he ever wants to settle down there will be many at the Avenue who will welcome him back.

In his first season for Dale Tinks was phenomenal, he came as a raw young lad from Otliensians and made the level jump seem ridiculously easy. It was no surprise Leeds picked him up and I was hopeful he would become a well established Premiership player. He has done amazingly well to get back playing and at such a good standard, I for one would welcome him back at the Dale as aplayer and as a genuinely good chap.

I do believe BRB is right when he says Rotherham is his most likely destination.

Sid, When I say "big" it is all relative. .

I agree but as I said, relative to what? Nat 1.? N2N?

You made a statement that I don't believe to be true. What evidence do you have to back it up.
