I think the 2002 Steve Anderson season was worse than 2023 and on a par with 2022.

Yes I can see that but there was expectation with Powell and just never remember being THAT frustrated during the Anderson debacle.

Was it Anderson who brought the underwhelming Aussies over ?

I didn't bother going at all last season due to poor vision, meaning i miss a lot of what happens on the pitch ,which i can see on tv & mobility issues getting to & from the ground & climbing the terraces. I love standing to watch the match & can't do with the horrible plastic seats with people squeezing past every few minutes.

We have come a long way from 2002 and expectations went up, least that’s how I see it. This is a club with a decent stadium good facilities and good finances so for me we should have won the big prize by now.

Now after the Powell debacle and what the club is doing with appointing a DoR and putting more in to the academy I think we are now on the right track. We just need show some patience as this is not an overnight thing, just hope we don’t fall back in to old ways.

We wasn’t dealt a particularly good hand of derby loop fixtures and Saints were so poor their travelling numbers were about half.
