Only a massive "re-boot" imo. As I said earlier, in the past 30 years admission has increased at a far faster rate than wages to the stage where it's now an expensive day out compared to it being the equivalent to a couple of pints. Only a BIG admission drop would get new fans which of course means a big down scaling of players' wages, etc but that would require a multi-lateral effort across the whole of RL which unfortunately is unlikely.

I buy a season ticket so don't feel the match day hit money-wise, as it's just an "invisible" annual plastic purchase (if yer get me drift) but it hurts when I open the wallet for a cup game ....... wouldn't wanna be doing that on a regular basis for league games. And it shows at all other clubs with very low cup crowds .... I remember the Cas - Hull cup match when the Cas shed was virtually empty.

So having done a bit of speculating and having asked questions about our financial situation on here apart from finding out that GFB isn’t Croady is anybody the wiser to what the situation actually is because I’m sure we’d all love to know the finer details.

Only the financial part that is.

Just out of interest it was announced not long after our success at Wembley that steve lambert was stepping down from the board to take up a non executive role , how come this wasn’t perceived as a pre - cursor to the imminent demise of the club , I mean he’s had more time and impact at the club than durgan but nothing was said

It’s because the board had just sold their suits which kept us afloat for a couple of months.

Might have had something to do with Durgs being in charge of a financial advisors/wealth management company. Not a good look to be involved with another struggling business, and maybe even puts that at risk? My understanding is that Steve always planned to step down at some point and it seemed a natural point to do it, not just a bolt out of the blue

Nah, it’s definitely the suits, Durgs only got his jacket back and didn’t want to be seen with no trousers on.
