Dot think there is one, especially with out a big backer, if the crowds fall off drastically then we may be right back here again come end of the season. Hope im wrong but the mess and followed us around for too long now and needs stamping out

Good news.

Strong strong stuff from Green. He's not one to make rash comments. In fact I don't think he ever has but they is clearly some anger there and I think some of the personal attacks have got to him.

Intersting comments about coach being offered players including a HB currently in SL.

I don't think its a case of him blaming the fans. But we've got a squad sorted ready for next year, full time. Just an hour ago we thought the final nail in the coffin was about to be put in so I'm happy

Sorry might have been a bit cack handed thats what dyslexia does for me, i just got the feeling from reading that that all this can be solved by the fans and it cant, most of us have given more than we are given credit for and are usually the last ones to either hear anything and the first to be in the firing line

If we're not about to go into admin, then from his point of view it must be incredibly frustrating for every man and his dog to be spreading rumours about our impending doom.

If he's being truthful and next season's squad is already done and dusted, including those academy prospects, then I'll have no problem renewing. He also makes a fair point about the season ticket comparisons.

Well he could've avoided a lot of upset and worry by having a statement pre prepared for defeat on Sunday. Then maybe these rumours would never have got started.

We've all been through a lot in the past 4 years. Defeat on Sunday was incredibly disappointing. There was no official comment. The media started speculating. It's easy for rumours to start.

Naive to expect otherwise.

However I'm pleased we're still alive and I'll be signing up for another season ticket.

Why can't the club try and run another season ticket pledge drive like the 10k £60 deal.
We get around 4k fans to every game and there must be about 75% of those fans with season tickets as there was the quoted figure that we were only selling about 4k season tickets even during the glory days. So why not? I'm not advocating £60 tickets, but if we got 6k takers at say £150 ground entrance that's £900k. Over £200k more than 3k at £230. Plus you've got an extra 2k people in on match days. Surely that adds to Mr Green's desire to see more fans paying money in the ground?

Were the early bird prices a reduced amount a couple of years ago? that would help alot of people especially around Christmas time say buy before jan and save £30-50 off your ST

Reasonable statement, though a little more admittance that the club has got it badly wrong this year might have been in order. So it's not Steve Ferrrss fault that recruitment was so poor, it's the head coach who we refused to sack. Might as well blame the bloke who's no longer with us I guess!

I still think he has a tough job selling memberships at current prices levels though after the season we've just witnessed.

Hindsight is 20/20 and I honestly think that Green believed we would beat Featherstone. After all, where was Halifax statement about failing to make the Top 4? Where was Sheffield's?

However, it seems that the club needs to be a bit more on its guard as it seems for any sort of set back the knives will be out.

Early bird was scrapped when Green took over the club. There's no incentive for fans to buy early any more other than if they want to pay extra to pay in installments

IIRC he had one ready to go after the MPG game. Fair enough it was the definitive end of the season. But so, to also be fair, was Sunday,

The danger is you don't hit the target and then you've undersold the tickets you do sell and you have a shortfall.

It's a very passionate statement from Green and perhaps he deserves one last shot next season and for us to lend our support but we absolutely have to believe that the players are going to bust a gut EVERY game. He hasn't addressed the underachievement that we have witnessed and that's where most people's frustrations lie.

He wants the club to succeed, we want the club to succeed but really the only people who can make that happen are those who take to the field.

The solution is in the problem. We need to get the message board team back together.

The witch-hunt against Ferris particularly from some of the T&A forum muppets was just grounded in dislike of the guy and the club, not substance. Nobody other than those involved knows exactly who signed who.
But in the end what is not in doubt is that many signings have not worked out and hopefully lessons have been learned. A huge clear out is needed. Without any substance other than rumour I was told a certain prop forward was on £90000 a year for 15 mins work every once in a while! if some our players are or were on that amount then it should be relatively easy to save some money by getting rid if they are out of contract.
I agree with Green it is up to the supporters to keep the club afloat and hope the club can be more prudent with our money.
On a footnote does any body seriously believe Batleys wage bill is £150000 a year!!! This is a club who when announcing attendance figure against us last year brought howls of laughter from the crowd.
