Quote: Crackerjack "Well there's now Three musqueteers eh? But not a hope in "where we presently are"
In addition - that's looking at it traditionally and I thought Durham were only a young in
As Ive been told many times "the games changed" - and so as logic
Now a lad who played full back and I believe got man of the match (twice)? has had itcos he had a poor game (when all around.....?).....So we sign a promising half back (with the knowledge that Robbos career is over and stick him at full back and we can the put the ex full back somewhere else and move the lad that was there (bulked up) into the forwards where the 2nd rower moves to loose and.……....
There is obviously a plan to confuse the opposition but at the moment they seem to be "reading" it - at least better than some fans!
To be serious though- as a long time supporter through some pretty bleak times,it's not the lack of points that worries me most (though its a hole were in) its what all this will do to Kens target crowd figures and gate revenue even if we somehow rescue the situation / and sponsorship appeal etc To be realistic its gonna hurt in my opinion and take a lot more time to claw back than the missing points!'"
We need to wait till Grix comes back, The whole box of tricks " or chess pieces " will go up in the air then and we shall have yet another new look team.
Your main point about Mr Davy and crowd figures is a far more important issue , It's one that the majority of people on here don't want to even think about , let alone talk about, They will post endless posts on what they think the starting 13 should be, where they would play this player or that player, They will grasp at any kind of straw for comfort, The latest one being that somehow things are not so bad yet because we are not as bad yet as 2001.
There are those who can make the stats say anything " and I don't dispute them " The one stat that matters above all others, get's largely ignored, the number of Fans turning up to watch. Whatever was happening to get the number up to 8.000 3 years ago wants to start happening again now before It's too late.
Whatever we believe the problems are , Mr Anderson, the Players, the fitness coaches, the Hirers and Firers, where this player should be or that , we all have opinions that's what the forum is for, " though some people are unable to take someone else's without getting uptight about them sometimes ".
My point is this, that while we are all giving our opinions on what should be done, The club is going backwards in an alarming fashion, There are plenty on here who can talk about the Bad old days, well they know what it has taken to get the club to where it was with a fan base of 8.000 some 3 years ago, Well with top 4 finishes and a LLS win the slide has continued, We had got to where we were starting to be thought of as a serious S league contender with Players playing for England and such, Now we are where we are and people are still making up reasons for it.
The most baffling thing for me is why Mr Davy is allowing it to go on, He can see as well as any of us what is happening, better I expect. But as I have said before It's his money going down the drain, but once we get down again it won't be any easier to get back up than it was last time. We are already in serious trouble league wise , We could have some sort of transformation come about, " it would be nice if we could " but that is far more of a hope than a reality.
No matter how much the players or coach talk things up in the Examiner, When you talk to people about the Giants , the first thing you here is " there's something wrong down there " I fail to see how some changes could make things any worse. We will have to wait and see. A win against Wolves would be massive just now.
