We won a GF and the NRC and our attendances started to decline before this season. I've no idea why but it doesn't necessarily follow that success puts bums on seats.

A super league standard centre would be on my wishlist

Just to re-iterate many posts i've made previously. There are several reasons nowadays why i refuse to pay money upfront & purchase a season ticket, one of which is the awful fixture scheduling governed by a pot tv company who i now have to subscribe extra to on top of my sky subs. Fortunately this year the world cup games are also on that channel, & some other stuff that interested me such as the colleges game that i knew of a few lads who played in it, also the Aussie games.

There are many reasons why i'm personally not so committed to attending home games nowadays as in other interests & time restraints, but hey, call me one of the fickle ones if you like. The product on the field hasn't been either attractive to watch or entertaining enough for most of the time. If anyone is uncomfortable with my opinion or my missing £15 at the turnstiles i couldn't careless about it.

The product on the field has to improve either in terms of silverware or entertainment value.

I have to agree Colin. There were perhaps 75%+ of the games I attended this year where I actually questioned what I was doing their bored out if my brain....

On tge pitch at times it was some of the worst 5 drives and kick rugby I've seen in a long long time. I certainly aren't rushing to purchase my season ticket and have said it a few times already..... Let's stop pussy footing around if we have signed players...!! Let's state our intentions and get the paying fan excited about what's coming, that's the only way to get people to part with cash.

I know marquee signings are hard to come by at this level but clubs manage it... Fev have signed a couple already in Cording and Jonah Lomu's love child!! If I were them I'd be pretty happy so far.

I'll give the new lads every chance and welcome them to Fax but so far it's not making me want to rush out and purchase anything. I'd call them safe signings rather than exciting....

Our promotion year saw our attendances drop quite considerably despite signing ' Tommy God ' from Saints

It is this particular subject that seems to cause ' discussion ' on our board when I point it out

Touchy lot at times us Leythers

Personally I would have only 1 instruction to my coach if I was a club owner

" At home I want attractive RL " simple as

Look, I can understand, to some extent, KH wanting to stick with British players but quality players are just not available. I certainly don't subscribe to the "if he's an Aussie he must be a good RL player" philosophy but we have done pretty well over the years at bringing over virtual unknowns who have gone on to be impressive crowd pleasers. Those that immediately spring to mind are Gavin Clinch, Ben Black, Ben Fisher and Andrew Dunneman.

What comparisons where available to the fans at that time though ?

It is a double edged sword, play conservatively ( the % RL as it is called ) and win, but struggle to keep or bring in new fans, or chance your arm which might cost you the odd game , but will get the club talked about in the town

To build a support base ( specifically new young fans ) you do need to win the bulk of your home matches, but also excite those people who are at their 1 st game

Should be 2 more announced in this weeks courier. One who's been widely speculated about. And another who I've not seen mentioned on here.

Give us a clue Brew. I'm a poet and I don't know it

Is one of them Potts?

Yup Potts should be announced this week on a 2 year deal. Dunno who the other one is tho....?? 2 of the quickest (if not the quickest in Potts) wingers in this division with Worrincy and not sure how they will get the ball based on last season...??

I'm just praying its highlighting a change in tactics next year...??!!

Hope it's a centre. Also hope we sign luke adamson for next year

Walter Potts the singing Window Cleaner not to little not to much .

Adamson signed mid-season didn't he? think I remember an announcement about this

Signed a short term contract untill end of season. Did say he wanted to stay but nothing been said since then.

Also hope we sign Ben Davis
