Whether the changes RD is making turn out to be positive, detrimental, or indifferent remains to be seen, but change is good and was needed in all of the areas where it is occurring.

Let the man go about his business and let's judge him in around 12 months time.

I firmly believe RD is our very own Rubber Duckie. The similarities don't end with the same initials either.

I wish I had his money.

Wish I had his connections. Might have a shot at Victoria Azarenka then....

Why are people excited about the prospect of a membership scheme? In my experience (LFC's) it it used simply as a way of getting more money out of fans of clubs who have demand for tickets that massively exceeds supply, who know they don't have much choice as without it they won't get any match tickets. It's not a great "experience".

Since Warrington tickets are unlikely to suddenly become difficult to obtain, I don't see what purpose it is supposed to serve.

I don't think that a bit of praise can be equated with allocating him 'messiah status'. As it happens there have been other changes to the board, too, so it's not just down to Roger, but all of this is very positive, and deserves note as 'good work in progress'. Long term can wait.

Think it's to allow you some of the benefits of a season ticket without the full price. For example, for Wembley tickets it's going to be season ticket holders then straight to general sale, whereas it could be season tickets to members to general sale. They might get the discounts on things like Magic Weekend.

I'm really not having a go at Roger but I'd prefer to wait and see how things go in the long run before I go overboard. Sandow is a good signing, they've tried out things like lowering the price of beer and bringing back two pint pots as well as things like the "audience with" and letting fans watch the warm up from the pitch. They're all positive but they're hardly master strokes. Conversely, the rebrand for me has been messy and needlessly rushed.

Higher level sponsors. EMIRATES?

Wembley tickets are on general sale now. You'll be able to buy them for the Warrington or Hull KR end of the ground the moment our semi is over if you want to. The only final ticket I've ever bought directly from Warrington was for the 1995 Regal Trophy!

Don't get me wrong, this Roger fella seems to be doing a good job so far, but I don't see why a membership scheme is being listed as some on this thread as a positive. Maybe I'll be wrong and it'll be wonderful.

They could attach a share deal to it and make us all owner members. Isn't leeds like that?

You're assuming our membership scheme is the same as LFC's, it isn't.

I suggest you take some time and read about what the membership scheme will include, there should be an article on the Warrington Guardian.

The guys are CEO. He's running the business part of Warrington, not the team. He had nothing to do with the Lineham signature and I doubt he had anything to do with any of the contract extensions or signings apart from approving a request from Tony smith for using more budget.

He's here to make us a more successful and profitable business, not build a rugby team and re-sign players.
