Can't imagine the 2019 early bird sales are going well because it's flat as a proverbial on here and the club site . Marketing really needs to kick in with something to wet the appetite. To be fair to mark Moore he worked at feeding the sausage machine as required and that mantle feels void currently; come on bod step up and make a presence . And tempt all us fence sitters

I will say what I’ve said before, our BOD do not know how to run a rugby league club, so they will get things wrong.

They have all the right intentions but there is a need for experience in certain areas. PR and marketing are a prime example. Without Mark’s huge work rate there is a huge gap.

QLT rumoured to have been offered a contract at Widnes

Same for many a year now, the club will spend 30k or whatever on a prop forward but wont even pay someone half that to market the club instead thinking they can just bring in school leavers and it be a success. What LS28 have done should have been achievable by the club its not like its rocket science what they have done but they have done it well so you have to ask why the club has not been able to do the same.

Same people at the club running it . (Down)?

That parachute payment makes a big difference, level playing field my @rse.

I agree 100%

A good marketing manager could recoup his salary 10 times over. The club has just taken on a media "apprentice". Apprenticed to who? When I was an apprentice I had an experienced person teaching me everything they knew for 5 years. This lad has no such mentor.

Half hearted Halifax again, sad to say.

I agree HS even I havnt got round to renewing my S/T yet just seems to be nothing to get excited about at the moment.
By the way sent you a pm sunday

Aye, I've just answered it...I think. Lol!

Bit harsh. Am sure the directors are doing everything they can within their capabilities. But if there ain't no brass, there ain't no brass!

3 out of the last 4 season's top four, and the brass that goes with it.

I don’t think there is any “Brass”.

When I asked about the accounts I was sent a PM that said - The accounts to November 2017 showed the clubs liabilites were £179,556 greater than its assets. Whilst this is roughly £140k better than the year before the amount of share capital has gone up by a similar amount. This would indicate that a director (steele?) wrote of a big loan amount, and the club was still loosing money.

I dont see anything that would indicate that the club has gained a lot of new income so I dont think we have much spare brass. If anything we will still have cash issues and the new directors will have taken over from MM and be fire fighting.

If its such a poisoned chalice it makes me wonder why your lot were so desperate to get involved?

Well I’ve held off joining in these recent debates, and i share some of the frustrations about the speed of our progression, and sometimes struggle to see where it is, or whether its just breaking even, damage limitation or simply doing things we should already have been doing.

But....
We need to remember a few things
1 were in a better position than a lot of rivals
2 have several top 4 finishes under our belt
3 The match day experience is improving
4 were finding and developing some great players for the future
5 we have one of the most promising coaches around in the UK game
6 people are stepping up, on and off the field, people at the club care

P.s every club misses out on the odd signing, lets someone go who’s a fans favourite, has the odd starlet that slips through the net, and every club has bills to pay and faces difficulties when not owned by super rich lunatics.

Nothing to see here, be positive and up the fax, looking forward to seeing us on the paddock again soon.
