can anybody tell me what the deal is with next years season tickets is iam stuck at work many thanks

Part of the issue i think here is what your expectation levels of the club are and those who have set high levels where winning Silverware is a must and anything else is seen as failure will be disappointed and therefore will more than likely take the attitude of ' am not buying a season ticket, we're and haven't won anything again'......whereas others who, like me, think, 'we've had 4 years above expectation and it hasn't quite happened for us but i'm still gonna enjoy it and give the team my support next year because its what i do' will more than likely renew.

I get great enjoymentout of my rugby win or lose, its a great social event with a top class sport to watch, fair enough my chosen team aren't exactly world beaters but if we all came along just to see us win trophies the large majority of us would have never watched a game.

The failure i believe in the last four years was to do enough to link the building of the team, with building the fan base, commercial activities and doing enough to make sure the CLUB as opposed to the team survived during a slump.

I fear for what the future holds. Silverware would have been good BUT feeling that the club was in a better position was more important. I do not think that that has been achieved.

4 years of FULL salary cap, better performances but we still ended up with four years of rubbish shirts, poor merchandising and a co herent strategy to build on the fans that were there. Cheap tickets and good links with the University was a start but it needed to go further. The club took a long time to get behind the supporters association etc ( there are many more examples).
I am dissapointed about many aspects of the club not just this seasons woeful showing. I know i am not alone. I know there are many people who offered time, suggestions and commitment to the club an dhave had it ignored.

Myabe i am wrong and everything will be fine next season

Well said

feel exactly the same! It's a hobby and passion. Gutted each time we lose but that feeling when we win...awesome.

I'll have to disagree with you on this point.

Granted, the club were a little sceptical that HGSA would succeed - and, to be honest,knowing how fickle some fans are, I wasn't too sure. However, we are getting there - with the club totally backing us. We've come a long way in 2 years, and we couldn't have done it without the club's help.

And for those RT knockers amongst you, he has supported and helped us all the way. As has every member of staff with whom we have had dealings.

We are all hacked off with this season & think we could do better than those in charge,yet wouldn't it be great if the vast majority of ST holders decided to renew,having taken into account the bigger overall picture,instead of just concentrating on the negative.

What a boost that would be to the club as a whole.
