| In the long run I lose out on the ST and do every year. However, it' my insurance policy to keep me going in the bad times (and God knows we've had enough).
If I don't have it I know I won't turn up at games I know we'll screw up and before yo know it I am out of the habit of going, and lets be fair, it is a habit more than a pleasure at the minute.
However, if promotion doesn't happen this year I am not prepared to take this kind of hit again and so I'll likely drift away and take the family with me.
Hope you are reading Chalmers....

| I'm still in two minds. I could've been persuaded by now had there been a decent head coach in place and a few more signings announced. There hasn't so I've not bothered buying one. It makes me less likely to get one if the price is going up significantly after the deadline expires because I always end up missing a couple of games due to summer holidays. There is also the court case hanging over us which is a worry. I could pay by credit card to be safe but I don't have one, have never needed one and aren't getting one just for one purchase.

| Quote Bulliac="Bulliac"We do seem to be getting 'info' from people who have seen various players up at Tong - and reporting who has, and hasn't, been seen - so, if your info is correct, this suggests that the so-far unannounced players haven't actually turned up for training yet? Which, in turn, logically suggests, to me anyway, that they are not just unannounced but that they still may not yet be fully signed.
AC did say at the forum that there were about a dozen 'left to announce' but it's beginning to look as though he may have been a little economical with the actualité.'"
Have I missed something? Who's been seen up at Tong who hasn't been announced?

I had a call today and said because they are charging more for less games of lower quality rugby played by mostly part time players.
'"
No phone call received as yet, but they'll get exactly the same answer from me too.
I also won't be "paying on the day" if those prices remain the same either (not that they've bothered to tell anyone what price is...). Since it looks from a previous post like they're actually increasing, there's absolutely no chance. I'm also not paying £15 for a friendly (won't do that anywhere). Only game at Odsal priced reasonably enough for me to attend would be the Boxing Day game, but I am visiting family that day so unavailable even if it was free.
Unless they do a cut price game, I won't be at Odsal at all in 2018 for a game. This particular cash cow has tapped out. I'll be supporting the team at away games instead.

I don't think he was training, i saw a picture of him up at Tong but not in training gear. If anything i would guess he was there working with the coaching team.

| For me it's not really about the expense it's more about whether we've turned the corner or not. I want to be persuaded the bad times are over and we can finally say we're bottomed out and are on the way back. However the lack of communication, the fannying about with the coach and the dreaded court case are holding me back.

Probably no-one, which is what I'd expect. But that was the point really, IF players have been signed but are yet to be announced, then, the majority at least, would surely be in pre-season training?
It just makes me wonder how much spinning (just being kind..)was going on when AC said, at the forum, that there were 'around a dozen' still to be announced yet they've announced far fewer and the pre-season games are nearly here. Did he mean 'still to be finalised', 'cos that's certainly what it looks like.

If I'm honest, considering what he said about when shirts would be out and various other promises / statements he repeatedly fails to deliver on, I'm amazed anyone still listens to a word the bloke says. But then people still listen to other pretend journalists who have been found guilty of repeatedly talking out of their too (of which I'm sure I need to name no names).
The fans forums have effectively turned into a session of lies and false promises to try and stop fans shouting at them for a few weeks.

| The trouble with Fan Forums is there is generally a good amount of 'I'm a better and more loyal fan than you lot' sychophants who want to be the clubs twitter feed as good puppies. Soon as the hits the fan they pipe up trying to save the clubs face....

I said there was no way I was paying £199 for a season ticket - I always buy mine a few days before the first game but may now not buy one at all as I miss 2 or 3 games each season with work / holidays so may just pay on the gate.
I appreciate they need the money but this is no way to treat loyal long term fans.'"
I had an email about not renewing yet this morning and just had the phone call too. Only problem is I went up and renewed our two tickets yesterday. Seems like their database is a bit slow updating.

| Out of interest, who is it that's calling? Some random person in the ticket office or have they got Robbie doing it to try and use some of his charm? Or gone middle ground with Duffy?
