I've seen some rumours that Rosco was offered a deal by Hudds but we either matched or bettered it (not sure how reliable this is, also from someone who claims to know someone who's mates with him).
**** or bust with this takeover mate. The likes of Hudders will be offering contracts more appealing than us if Bates stays on. Crowds will be down and season ticket sales has already been reinvested for two years. **** OFF BATES!
