| I would guess the big issue is whether or not we are playing in the Championship next season. It certainly looks very unlikely, but I suspect fans will be pretty wary about signing up until it has been confirmed. Then there is the issue of new signings. We have what, about 15 players possibly departing ?, and I guess at least 12 new replacements to bring in. Some fans no doubt will want to hear news on that front also.
So at the moment I think we are a bit in limbo and the sooner we can ensure our SL status the better. If the club can get hold of a real NL star then that would motivate a lot of people to buy ST's. Failing that, perhaps we will see some promotions.
On the subject of our loss for last year, I really dont see that as a big issue. We have one huge fixed asset - the stadium, which is valued at around £14m. Depreciation of that asset goes into the P&L each year and can distort the picture (depreciation and goodwill accounted for approx. £309K). We also seem to have taken on an extra £500k of admin staff costs -presumably R Draper and some extra bodies that he employed ? (33 to 38 staff) which can be reversed. Despite all that we continued to pay down our long term loans and knock a big chunk off the bank overdraft. With our different revenue streams we are still a very well financed club with a very strong backer that most other clubs would love to replicate.

| Apart from your point of view, the railways are missing a massive chunk of revenue with not running trains late at night . The opportunities with countrywide sport ,music concerts etc would be a big money spinner for train operators even just running normal scheduled trains through the night.

| No panic here. I fully expect a number of announcements regarding signings and the coaching situation once it becomes apparent which league we will be playing next year. No decent player with ambition is gonna sign on while we're threatened with relegation. Season ticket sales will follow. Have a good start to the season and fans will come crawling back. I find it difficult to believe what has happened this year will be allowed to happen again

Some of the reason is that they often do track maintenance and inspections overnight.

| Do we really need a ST?
Miss a couple of games through Sky rescheduling them or having to work and the benefits no longer exist.
What happened to the discount with local business' that was advertised?
People will say that this was under Roger Draper's reign, but nonetheless our contract was with Warrington RLFC.
Take games like Catalan at the weekend, tickets were advertised by the club for £10.

Odd choice of phrase. Fans will decide to come back if/when there is decent entertainment on offer for a reasonable price.
