Great idea. Do you know anyone with a spare £40m or so?

We left the Boulevard over twenty years ago now, in that time St Helens, Warrington and Salford have all left their old grounds and all have their own new grounds. Can't we get our £40m from the same place they all did?

A lot of talk about this being a very long season ahead, but I think it could be the shortest season in your clubs short existence. Season over by Easter, nice one agent Tony, lol.

You're saying that as if you've got a chance of doing something when we both know that you've got as much chance as us. No bleedin' chance.

Depends what we’re talking about, relegation and you have a waaaaay bigger chance than us the city is red and white…..AGAIN

When was the last time it was red and white? It must be so long ago that I can’t remember it?

It’s not been anything else but red and white in the past 2/3 years, and I suspect a long longer as well. Going bust is inevitable for you lot.

Saints are the best run club in SL by some distance, Warrington have a rich backer, and have you missed that Salford's rent their ground and it has a complicated ownership and their future at the stadium isn't certain??

McNamara would be getting the similar results. Same happened to him at the start of his Catalans career.

On McNamara attracting better players. I'm sure location has a fair bit to do with it. Aren't players better off in France due to lower tax too?

sensible post from you for a change

I also find the argument ‘we need our own ground to create atmosphere’ is a load of complete rubbish. The reality is the MKM is our home for the foreseeable, and a home which scores us highly with the IMG. If you want to make the atmosphere better, do something about it, make flags, stand up, get chants going rather than just complaining in forums about it every other week. I spoke to a member of the marketing department recently and they advised the club is actively looking for ways to improve the match day experience. Willing to contribute towards making flags etc.

creating atmosphere is simple but it means having a team that entertains,puts in the effort on the field then the fans respond automatically.
We have one of the best grounds in S/L.yes we pay rent but we are not responsible for maintainance and repairs both to the stadium and the pitch.
The fact that HKR own their own ground so they can put on a couple of pop concerts every year and create millions in extra revenue is just deluded nonsense.
It would actually take millions to bring their 3 sided old fashioned ground up to modern standards and they are not going to do that.
I have always said HKR fans should keep an eye on planning permissions because the way their board of directors are being acquired its the prospect of the future money from development thats attractive not Rugby league
Ill give it 5/8 years until their ground is bulldozed for housing.

It depends on what you class as the city is yours. I mean youve managed to limp above us given weve had our poorest squad since 1999. Still some way before your academy, merchandise sales and attendances match ours.

But good luck to you, considering how much money your supposed to have the squad is poor, the academy struggled for an elite license and you have to reduce tickets to a quid for five figure crowds. Your stadium is below average and it will take more then a few gourmet burger stands and pub benches to rectify that.

The reality is that sure you may have the better squad at the moment but history tells us its never normally for lobg.
