Quote: CyberPieMan "Yer but, no but....There's a committed fan-base in & around Hull, Marvellous Marwan can't sell season tickets for toffee. Only 1,000 sold up to last week (!?!) Salford may have had a chance had they rebuilt the Willows or at least stayed near Weaste & concentrated on enthusing the existing supporters instead of moving 5 miles down the road with crappy parking & down-wind of a sewerage farm (or at least waited 'til the tram went there).
I don't think they're helping their cause either by some dodgy signing pronouncements that are increasingly falling on deaf ears as well as the shambles in the back-room.
I think Taylor will do well there, he would have struggled for game-time with us & will get more under his belt before going east (assuming either of the 'ulls want him), but unless Dr K signs a Jonny Wilkinson I can't see them breaking even or threaten the top 8 for some time.
(I wouldn't be surprised if he walks away in the next 12 months either, he'll make more from Newcastle Knights if that goes through than he'll ever recoup in Barton)'"
Why were they only pulling in 2/3000 back in 1998/99 when they came up? Where was their committed fan base then?
