The OFT continue their investigation into the Liquidation of the Celtic Warriors. For details and how you can air your views read on

The OFT are continuing their investigation into the WRU's handling of the liquidation of the Celtic Warriors with the questionable financial support from Cardiff and Newport benefactors.

You will see the case listed at http://www.oft.gov.uk/Business/Mergers%20EA02/Invitations/index2.htm?ItemLimit=false and I can confirm that the deadline for comments has been extended.

So get onto the site and provide your feedback. By far the best way for your input to be considered or for your questions and concerns to be registered is by calling Clare Kendall on 0207 211 8937. I have her permission to publish her details and she wants as much feedback as possible.

So here's your chance, if you really care as much as you seem to THEN CALL HER! The Samuel court case is set for Macrh 5 and the combination of this action and the OFT inquiry might just help ressurect the Warriors or at least put an end to the WRU's uneven mismanagement of our national game!
