Whether we have 750 or 1250 hardcore fans it just illustrates how difficult it is for the club to get back on an upward spiral. How the club can build a successful business on such low income streams is beyond me. Its a miracle we are still going! For me I find it impossible to be really positive about the future. To get better we need a major injection of quality in terms of playing staff and coaching setup. It seems an enormous task but we need to hit the ground running next season; no easy matches (and some very difficult ones) but we still need to be competitive from match 1. OK defeats are acceptable for what is likely to be a transitional season but we have to competitive. Being on the end of a walloping does nothing for a young players confidence. I await with interest the news of the new coach. Hopefully this will be a quality appointment. There are many reasons for our demise but for me the principal reason is that the board have made some appalling decisions over the years in the selection of the team coach. This goes back to our even to our SL days!

Doesn't seem that long ago but i can remember having to get to Thrum hall for 2-15 for big games as they locked the gates at 9800 attendance.You couldn't envisage at that time that 90% of our fans would lose interest.
