Regarding exposure, I wrote to the club and mentioned my son is doing a sports media degree at the Man City facility (UCFB) and that he would be keen to offer his writing services, especially as he is an ultra keen fax fan. He has interviewed Salty for his course and written articles on SL for a RL magazine in Australia. He wouldn't charge much and would enjoy doing so - be that for the club or the Courier. There could be all sorts of features to attract interest, things like 'meet the player' interviewing the lads about their families, history and interests outside the sport etc.

If anyone wants to make this happen, I can speak with him.

All I got from it was the club needs to reach out to a different audience (demographic). I do think there is an audience out there but choose not to go to games. These are the ones we need to attract back somehow.

In the short term seems like Grix will be getting a bigger playing budget than last season and considering we finished 3rd that’s a positive. It’s obviously a competitive market and as Grix said we’re not finished with our recruitment and a lot of our success will depend on getting them deals over the line . Very difficult to assess how the long term plan plays out given they’ve only been there a few weeks but they seem very ambitious and enthusiastic.

That’s a fair comment.

Although if I recall when Posner started these Forums a few years back he always had a few slides on finances. It’s when Boards don’t give real numbers I get concerned.

My concern is that the enthusiasm equates to naivety. Where it not for Turner’s personal investment and Steele’s before him the club would not be anywhere near where it is now, I hope they realise the true cost of their ambition.

Well to be fair the signing of Maher certainly answers a lot of questions and s good start for the new football manager and the board .
