    I only mentioned Shay Grange as I heard a rumour it was subject to a planning application for housing and could be sold. It would be a shame as I play there too.

    I thought the players trained at the school. I didn't realise that afterwards they attended maths and English lessons!

    Very true. We trained here long before we got to the Pl. It really is a huge non issue.

    I think there is really only one person who cares, and I'm starting to think he might have tried to sell them a plot of land and got rebuffed songs bitter about it.

    My office is in Cross Hills. Council tax is paid to Craven DC, it's well inside the North Yorks County boundary but postally it's in West Yorkshire, and the post town is Keighley. Ten feet left out of the front door and I would be in Glusburn. Confusing or what !

    What's the story behind his comment dismissing any impending ownership changes?

    Yes, I assume he's clearing up the ill conceived comments made by Adams, otherwise he'd have specifically referred to "on social media".

    Also saw this.

    Adams has stressed that he works well under club owner Stefan Rupp and chief executive Ryan Sparks.

    He said: “The difficulty with being a manager is that you can’t say what you want to all the time and be clear on that.

    “But one thing I can make clear is that the owner and CEO have been very supportive to me since I came to the football club.

    “The CEO has given me very good backing from the point of view of taking me into the club and now allowing me to get on and try to move forward in the way that I want to.

    “I can only be thankful for that.”

    Molehills. Molehills everywhere.

    Unfortunately there aren't any serious 'investors' Fordy. If Rupp gave up the club for a give away price there would be one or two that would gladly take it. But there wouldn't be any investment, bar Richmond there hasn't been any since I started watching 40 odd years ago. That's not to say we couldnt get people in the club who could run it better than it currently is but you won't be seeing anything like training academies or new facilities being built at Bradford, there's no justification for it.

    And at what point do you tell your kids that you've just 'spaffed' their inheritance....
