I will be there also no matter what league we’re in.
We have struggled 90% of the time we’ve spent in SL and our brand of rugby is unattractive.
Perhaps with some pressure off we can play more creative and attractive rugby but I do think remaining full time is the difference between coming back up or not relatively quickly.

Same here it's in me now.
In an odd way if it happens it will be a relief to be in a League we can compete in. The promotion season in 1998 was one of my favourite ever seasons. Obviously it's not what I want but we can start again.

What about the many seasons before 1998, did you find them similarly exciting.

It is not a pointless question because I believe you are all living in an alternative reality. I know why you have because you need the patronage, I don’t but having gone through the last period seeing our better players being snapped up due to the fact we didn’t have the funds. I don’t see this being any different this time so how do you believe we will be competitive and how many supporters during a time of tight finances will want to spend their money. When we are out of SL it won’t be a one season return without investment especially when we start paying the ground loan back.
What really annoys me is that we shouldn’t be in this position but if you ignore the signs over several seasons and continue to one plan the threat of relegation was inevitable once a reasonable team is promoted.

So what’s the answer then?
We haven’t a sugar daddy and not likely to get one.
We haven’t the funds to sustain a competitive SL team.
IF we stay up get ready for more of the same for next season.
I’m sick of punching above our weight!

I’ve supported Trinity since 1960 but for one reason or another didn’t go in the promotion season - typical after all the stuff I watched in the 1980’s although I watched for their results keenly.
How I wish I had gone along then!

Just a quick question.
How do the loan repayments compare with the rent we were paying prior to 2019?

So long as it's not the one you live in I'm happy.
You really are arrogant at times. So you don't think that most fans are not fully aware of the issues at stake, only you the great oracle knows. Se are not worthy.
I did enjoy 1998 or are you going to revise history as usual and take that one away from us all.
We should be able to compete in the Championship in terms of winning a fair few games and generally having more fun as speccies (won't bother you and your fantasy season ticket), doesn't mean we will be the best or win it but it will probably be our level for a while.
Then when you invest your millions and take over the full running of the club we can return triumphant to SL

Coco, what are you asking him for?
He makes it up as he goes along, he has no more idea than the rest us, probably less.

I don’t know that will be sensitive information, not even Vastman will know. I ask you what happened to the money saved on the rent once we purchased the ground.

Salford had a sugar daddy, Koukash, and got nowhere, they are doing better now and have reached 2 finals recently. According to Rowley, they have the lowest spend on the cap, but i don't know if that's true. How are Warrington and Hull getting on with their resources??! We finished 5th twice in 2017 & 2018 with basically players no-one else wanted, so 'success' can be achieved relatively speaking. Money is only part of it, Have it and waste it, then there's no point having it in the first place.

That's nothing to do with what he said. He just said the promotion season was one of his favourites. It doesn't mean everything else is rubbish.
If you support Trinity you support them through good times and bad. Some just seem to look at the score and if it isn't a win then everything is bad.
Honestly, you are supporting the wrong club if that is the only reason to come. Its a big thing, but not the only thing.
