In reply to Russell Greenfield's letter (June 26), does he forget that four and a half years ago he and John Stabler put York Rugby League Club up for sale for £1 in a national newspaper when he and Mr Stabler were in despair?

I think he should remember that. At that time the Friends of York Rugby League and the Supporters' Club - Dennis Baker and Ken Patterson - and past directors kept the club going without the help of a substantial donation from Rugby League headquarters.

The team never got beaten by half the amount they they have done this season and we had no money.
