I could have sworn that mascot of yours was a rejected idea for Power Rangers.

at the moment we are supposed to be able to sell the club to new fans and so far there is nothing to pull the crowds in people can see how crap the team is by results and there is nothing in entertainment. So i am wondering how we got a franchise because we dont offer fans anything to get exited about

Catch 22 though...

We are never going to attract many new fans (Or even old ones) while we keep getting hammered every week. People just don't want to throw hard-earned money away. We can't financially compete with a lot of other clubs because we don't get the fanbase to form decent expenditure. The Club tries hard to plug away at a dead cause but often gets it wrong in the process. The Stadium is everything for our club. A new start, new area and more financilly viable.

Without it we will never grow. Considering how the Stadium is progressing things seem a little bleak at the moment.

Without seeming too negative, the three years in SL could be just what is called for on the pitch. If we can make progress under all these constraints and the Stadium comes through there will be no turning back.

I agree with that, look at how long it took Catalans and Castelford to settle in. The 3 years with no relegation is a god send to you guys, hopefully your stadium will be sorted by then.

SL needs a Salford team in it. ( and more Lancashire teams if you ask me )
