Quote: crashmon "We are a long way of the playoff's, and I don't see us getting close next year. I do think however we won't be waiting until may for our first win, so I think we will win more games next year than this year (but thats a very small baseline to come from)
Its not just our first 17, we need squad replacements as well who can perform at champ level once injuries start to kick in.
Off the field however we need to wait and see if they come up with anything regarding attracting fans back, as I really think we could have sub 500 gates if they don't come up with something'"
Depth of squad is a particular problem. I think we were relatively lucky with injuries this season if not it could have been carnage. We clearly struggled to get people in and fell back on getting bodies from Skolars. Hopefully we’ll go about it in an orderly way this time around.
On attendances a real problem is what to do about Season Ticket holders. It’s all about supporting the club etc but looking at it coldly I’ve had poor value on the last 3 years season tickets. With competing priorities and with a number of games where we don’t look competitive ( not fancying that TO game) and with tickets being sold for a pittance this year (and turning up to find people sat in my seat anyway! going to have to have a think whether to go ST again or pick and choose. A reasonable recruitment policy may have an impact.
