Quote: Bullseye "You think we'd have a reasonable chance of bouncing straight back up? Why?

Why do you think we'd suddenly develop more solid foundations or be able to build again?

Those very same assumptions were made when we were relegated out of SL. Instead of "building again" or bouncing back things got worse as we had an owner that had no money (like now). The present owners have done nothing to make me believe that they're capable of building anything, in fact they make me seriously fearful for the future. Our trajectory is heading further down as it has been for 10 years.

Is there a plan for building? If there is I've yet to hear it. Could I get behind a part time club in League 1? Possibly , if I trusted the owners to be true to their word and could see firm evidence they weren't just spinning us a line. Unfortunately we've had no information or reassurance from anyone. You point out that the club dies without its supporters. You're right. Perhaps it's time the owners (whoever they are) realised that and stopped taking us for granted? Otherwise there won't be any fans left.

I suspect the RFL are bankrolling the club and paying the owners, staff and players. In fact the "owners" to me look more like they're managers. That leaves us all in limbo. Whether a knight in shining armour appears or whether we stay in limbo is anyone's guess. Whoever knows is keeping it to themselves. In the meantime I'm losing interest.

The point about losing interest is very real, there are lots of fans groupings but I think we have some of he (mostly) more reasonable, knowledgable (?!) and what could be termed die hard fans post in here, just see. See the fact we have a player sponsorship deal. And if the owners paid attention to the fact that fans such as vbfg, bullseye etc losing interest then the outlook for the general attendance is bleak.
I know Duffy and some others at the club used to regularly read this forum, no idea if they still do, but if they do they must surely be well aware of the negative drift towards total disengagement.

Much goes back to the admin period and winding up, if indeed there was an actual winding up.

What I'd like to know from the RFL is, [iwas the ChaLowe option truly the best option, out the half dozen (or more) on the table, or were they just the only ones who'd accept staying in the Champ on minus 12?[/i. Given all the problems we've had this season; coach with no visa (god help us..), shop with no card machines, unable to sign players, relying almost entirely on the kids plus loans, SOMEONE[i must[/i have put in a better bid?

I honestly don't know about next season. We should have been in Champ1[i last[/i season with no points and we'd maybe be on the rise now, at least looking as if the future would be brighter. As I, and a number of others, said at the start of this [delcharade[/del, sorry season, it would a wasted year if we stayed in the Championship, and so it has been proved. So next year we'll be just where we were a year ago. It really is a shambles.

This is my thought exactly, surely the fact Thorne supposedly met the whole team and Rohan at cue gardens and said he would tupe them over on existing deals would have been better having that squad competing just doesnt make sense
