we lost £800k year to 2014... cant be much better 12months on..'"


Does having average crowd of 11k approx like StH vs 5k average Fartown make so much difference ? Can someone explain.

Never seen T.King,has he just got into first team? G.King looks to me like an average squad player for Warrington,just a back up for the big name players.

Whether they were good enough it does the club no credit nor does it help our ability to sign other youngsters up.

Join the Giants if you are good enough they will give you a contract, if you are not they will not give you a deal but won't let you sign for anyone else to possibly stop your career development unless your dad can buy you out.

And the man who did that is still there even if riding is gone.

Not the sort of actions that make me feel proud about my club

Would say it probably does make a differences, 5000 extra fans wont cost that much more in terms of match day stewarding. (Wishy may be able to shed some light here) 5000 extra fans paying say an average of £10 each is £50,000 multiply that by the number of games...... It's well over 1/2 a million - that's a lot of extra cash that could go towards the academy.
£10 is probably an underestimation as as well as gate money there will be extra merchandise sales from those supporters too.

So you are critisising the club for not releasing a player from his contract-Weren't you critical about Thewlis releasing LOD from his contract????? icon_rolleyes.gif

No I did not criticise about LOD ( enforcer in the bench). AS TO BE HONEST I THOUGHT HIM AND fAALOGO ( hamstring boy) WERE BOTH A WASTE OF SPACE.

Aussies who did very little here .

Yet you are the one who constantly says that players are not slaves when we do criticise the club for not keeping players. Yet with one of the kings we tried to do exactly that keep him as a slave. No contract saying your not good enough son but would not let him leave.


Regardless of any point scoring do you think it puts the club ina good light?

We didn't force him or his parents to sign the original contract. He signed a contract to play for the Giants u19s with no promises of a full time contract - are you saying players shouldn't be made to honour contracts? If Thewlis had just said yeah go on, off you go, what precedent does that set? Would that put the club in a good light? Pointless having contracts in that case. if his father did have to spend 10k buying out his contract then it's not as if the lad was getting nothing is it- so hardly a slave.
why make out that not giving a player a contract is something that only has happened at the Giants. Lots of U19 players don't make it at one club- may make it at another. We've signed a few of those ourselves.....

So it looks like the financial burden won't be taken away from Sir Ken any time soon.

Yet he seems to be okay to continue being a philanthropist to this town year after year,despite not getting the backing from enough of the people.

Should we mess up these M8's (which I don't think we will) reckon Sir Ken will walk away, just going by the fact that he nearly quit after the relegation under Tony Smith all them years back.

Personally I buy an ST early just to give my support to Sir Ken,then think about my holiday dates and any other things that might clash.
