Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "I get both sides of this, eventually I came down (just) on the side of "If you want to be the same level as the average C1 sides then pay the same level of ticket prices as the average C1 sides".
But commentators could have a field day with the old cutting of cloth metaphors. There is no doubt if we are going to run as planned, then the ends of our standard cloth won't meet. Like last year, IMHO the presumption must be some more must be coming in from somewhere. And we have been told in no uncertain terms we are "not looking for investors" (!)
Puzzled? I am. But however they fix the cashflow, they only have one chance to get out of this division (again IMHO) sosomebody has to do whatever it takes to make that happen. I've bitten the bullet, surprising even myself a bit. But I can tell you right now that I wouldn't be shelling out £300 for C1 next year. Not under any circumstances barring something like the appointment of Wayne Bennett, and the signings of Billy Slater and Cameron Smith.'"
Same. I'll be buying a ST. I think we get one shot at getting out of this division. I've invested too much over the years to walk away, so i'll throw some money in to try and help us get out. If we get out, I do think we can rebuild. If we don't manage it, we'll be stuck down here for a long time. I won't be buying a ST next year for C1 either.
We do have a good chance of going up though (which has also persuaded me to invest in the club) with two teams getting promoted. Either by finishing top, or via the play-offs. If it was the same hideous, middle 8 farce as what handicapped us in 2015, i would have been out.
