Quote: Highlander "So. What kind of reset do we need? We lost about 2k supporters when we were relegated from SL. And we’ve lost about 300 every year since then.
Short term, we’re stuck with Odsal. I think. How long a lease did we sign at the beginning of last year? With the numbers we’re down to now, we could make BPA work I think.
It’s all about recruitment and the academy. I would say a mix of our 6 best academy players and maybe 8 others, to cover for the 16 that are leaving?'"
We need a new owner. Without one the slide will continue. Look at his track record so far:
1. Pitch at Odsal the smallest ever and one that the head coach acknowledges is a problem with resultant negative impacts on results, playing style, income and perception.
2. Presiding over a culture at the club where visibly obese players are picked regularly for the 1st team to the mockery of all and sundry on TV and social media.
3. Supporters needing to bring their own cleaning equipment into the stadium to clean seats or face ruined clothing.
4. Two month long worldwide search for a head coach culminating in appointing the bloke who was already here.
If we carry on like this there's no doubt we'll be struggling to avoid relegation next year. We'll be battling to stay above Newcastle and whoever comes up behind Keighley.
If we move to BPA it would only confirm how low we've got and impact further on player recruitment at all levels.
