Even though times are difficult for folk and money is tight its still all about Revenue.

They need to be in the shops with a significant delivery of Popular sizes and a quality product

The club should be looking into a Christmas club to ease the financial thump of Christmas

Were talking circa 100k a year in revenue - plus add on's - Numbers etc.

At 40 notes its 2500 units

I wonder how many shirts Wire sold with Joey Johns' cameo apperance a few seasons ago.....

I doubt Clayton will have the same impact!

Everyone is gonna want Chase on their shirt this season anyway, so that's irrelevant if you ask me.

Missed the point!

Re-signing Clayton will hardly create a stampede for season tickets or shirts probably more likely to have a damaging effect

Hull Finished way below us in the League,
Hasnt stopped them recruiting strongly.

Long
O'Meley
Fitzgibbon

Snitch
Jackson
Clayton

All about ambition and business acumen

Yeah big woop for Hull they've signed 3 past it injury prone players who are well into their 30's!

High Quality signings = bigger attraction for
Fans
Sponsors
Players

I agree Hull have a bigger fanbase,

How often do Hull fail to get their revenue streams sorted?

Shirts are a key element
so are putting players in them worth watching

Professional Running of the club attacts
Better players = more consistant results = better cup and play off runs = bigger crowds = more money. Eventually = winning things.

More investment in players = less investment in infrastructure = bye bye Super League.

No massive pot of riches + big fine = poorer recruitment

7,000 fully

So we get 2000 away support every game....dont think so.

No, the bigger games more paying fans come out the woodwork.

Alot more would come out of the woodwork if we were winning games and putting in good performances week in week out

Until we gain back consistancy, stop getting thumped by bigger teams and comptete week in week out the "woodwork fans" will remain the same

I remember a certain CEO saying in 1999 that he wanted an average crowd of 10k in the next 5 years, Well hes had 10 and were still not there.

Wont mention his hairbrain 5 year plans including Grand finals etc.

Fans want to follow consistant success.
Fans want to see quality players, not release someone then resign then 1month later who in fairness is average at best.

Stopping recruitment because of a 20k fine is a lame excuse, Sign a quality player he'll pay for himself and the fine in season tickets and shirts alone.

Back to the topic,hope they get the home shirt out before Christmas, be nice wearing the new one christmas day & boxing day to the bulls game

on subject of lack of quality signings id put up with this seasons squad if it meant some really positive news on the new stadium
