Theg have done nothing over at least a 7 year period to increase support.
Everything they have done resulted in negativity.
By increasing gates and income streams in general you increase finances .its amazing that they have had such a steady time of it.
The atmosphere round the place was like a think life sucking smog.

Correct.

They have done absolutely nothing to improve this.

You cant just go with an attitude of people will come, ultimately good performances help, and a winning team helps.

Sometimes though, dangling a carrot helps. We dangle nothing. I was at Wigan earlier, and they have adult season tickets priced for 2024 at something like £220. Had we have stayed up , a seated ticket in the east stand would probably set be back for pushing £100 more.

I know MC and JM arent made of money, but neither are I, or the other die hard supporters. In turning to us every time isnt the right way to go from our current fan base to bigger numbers. In somweways that carrot needs dangling

Sadly people have stayed away too , due to the poor attitude of certain people at the club. Hopefully, the club can re engage with these to bring them back. That would be a start.

Thankfully, someone finally is prepared to do this, on top of my comments earlier and run it professionally.

Like I said they have been given an extremely easy ride.
Let's see how many demands are made from the new owners from people who have been very happy with the last 10 years.

I look forward to see your response to the new owners should we see only little change or lack of progression (which of course I hope will not happen).

Not going over old news again .But the reason why we are in the Championship is down to the shocking coaches we have had over the last 4\ 5 years . and there decisions on there recruitment . They have all moved on ,Think it is time we all moved on ,and got behind the new owner as one .As a post as all ready said ,they had give up hope for the club when it was nailed on we were going down .We now have hope with this take over

Why does this keep getting dredged up? It’s been done 1000s of times so idk why people can’t let it drop and look forward. The horse has been truly flogged.

Also it wasn’t the coaches mostly. I think MC said he did plenty of the recruitment and got a fair bit wrong in hindsight. Regardless, it didn’t work and we are on the verge of a new regime. Time to just accept it and all just move on.

If the new owner doesn’t deliver the same group will be onto him like a rash so plenty fun to be had for them if that happens.

I already am fully behind him, and have been looking forward to it for about 4-5 months now

We've done cheaper tickets before. We ended up on the brink.

You can have a go at Carter all you like but there is absolutely no doubt he handles our finances better than anyone has ever done at the club and probably better than most in Super League.
