Hi sapdad,
I am all for giving updates and telling parents what the club knows, but I personally would hesitate on providing too much information as things can change quickly. Raising hopes and then having to dash them is probably worse than keeping people in the dark for the time being IMHO.
With that said I am optimistic that we will receive some positive news very soon. Northern released a statement yesterday asking clubs to hold fire, but my guess is we will receive further guidance by the weekend. Positive thoughts guys!
