2 announcements in one day, we're being spoilt

Is it just my imagination or do we always lose when the club gives a big marketing push to a game ?

Got to hope it is something bigger than that. The club has just just announced its lost one of its best players for next season in the same week they sent out the mailers about the auto-renewal for season tickets. I know a few people have withdrawn from auto-renewal not just because it is so early and they have holiday expenses to cover but also because we have no idea of what fixtures we have and no idea who will be coaching the side in 2019. I think there will be a few more who will want to wait and see if all that is announced is another "Big One".

Phil Wilkinson is suggesting it’s coach related. He seems to be hinting at Lam for 2019 with Edwards to take over in 2020.

I wonder why 8pm? Be getting Mr Lam up early from bed at 5:00 if it's a live link!

When I saw it on social media initially I assumed it was the Lam announcement, and the late time was so he would be awake over in Aus for a live interview. However, I've just checked, and it would be 5am over there. The big one 8 seems a lot more likely unfortunately.

It would be utterly embarrassing if it is the Big One 8

They have done this before though. I remember staying up till some daft time expecting a signing that they had built up, only to reveal it was the Big One, and that they had been out delivering milk in order to promote it They got a serious amount of flack for that though (nearly every comment on social media was negative) so you would hope they have learned. It does seem to add up though with all the 8s and this probably being the earliest they could announce the big one, having only recently learned our super 8 fixtures.

Carney was quite adamant that a coach signing is imminent. i doubt its the Big One announcement. if it is their whole marketing team needs a good slap (and the sack!)!

My source in the club says it's the Big One 8. Which is about as bad a press release as could be released at this time.

I’ll try to wait until it is announced before ascending to my high(er) horse.

No one at the club is allowed to say anything at all, a rule quite strictly enforced since Friday of last week.

Eight in a row!!!

Will it not be 3 announcements ???
1 - John Bateman leaving
2 - Announcement that there will be an announcement
3 - Announcement at 8
Then another announcement to say someone as been sacked for breaking the announcement cap .
