Quote: Scarlet Pimpernell "I guess we will see how serious they are when they announce the list of players for next season. We will also have an indication if we believe this will help them reach their goal of 3000 supporters.
The initial indication of a squad of 25 players including short term loans and dual registration is not a good start but we will see.'"
Carter is in cloud cuckoo land if he thinks / hopes 3000 hardcore fans will turn up next year whilst in the same breath talking about using dual reg players. Just think about that for a moment. “We will be running a thread bare squad with a revolving door loan system to change the team every week just like this year and we still want you all to pay £27 to watch Dewsbury”.
The only way to get 3000 fans next year is to procure and operate a super league quality team with established player names. Similar to what Leigh have done - SL calibre player and SL calibre coach in the Championship. I’m convinced it’s the only way.
JM can’t be playing Moneyball with everything and fully control his ability to generate a first class product on the field that is worth paying for by the fans. Worth pointing out that the away fans won’t travel to see dross either - if we have something to watch, they will come. Otherwise, put simply, they won’t.
