its too dear, wigan did a scrum 6 last week and charged 30 pound for the lot or its only 16 quid in, if we get a ground whats it gonna be 25 quid, were leaving ourselves little room for price hikes

we have a conspiricy theory that they made it 20 quid cos calculating change from a 20 pound note from 18 quid was confusing gate staff!

it is actually quicker to get in this year!

you've got to be kidding

I presume you are guesstimating on the figures but surely the forcast for this year was based on last year? Are the crowds down that much from last year?? Without checking id guess around the same and we are charging more to get in.
If its sponsorship monies that is not coming in then fair enough but i dont think reduced attendance can be used again although obviously i could be completely wrong.

well lets put it this way would you have done a business plan based on 5k per week?

Attendances this years are a little over 6k.

Also, as that is based on only 4 games, which includes Les Cats and Salford, I wouldn't have thought it would be inducing panic from the board.

Based on our financial problems at the end of last year i would have hoped we would forcast on the downside rather than the up! Sales budgets tend to be based on the previous years figures as that is the only true guide you have. If we averaged 5k in what was a fairly successful year what would make someone think we could up this to 7 in the current climate when disposable cash for alot of folk is harder to come by?
Surely a club like ours should always be forcasting based on worse case scenario as we dont have a sugar daddy to fill any gaps that may appear.

ok i was guessing!

but it was worth it to see the maths in a pm from a hudds fan!

top tip..... never ever appoint giantjo in any job where adding up is needed!

Ok enough of the gcse business studies!!
what's the score with southernwood, is he here or odsal?

Gutted if true.

How can letting go off 1 of our most promising youngsters we've had in a while be good for the club.

Trust them..... some people have to earn it, and the bod haven't.

Jk's worked miracles but there will be a time when the miracle we need wont arise, the efforts won't suffice

As you can tell im not in an optimistic mood.

Was Southernwood likely to stay on when his contract ended? There were rumblings that he had his head turned last season while playing in a very successful academy side. I would’ve preferred him to stay on at Wakefield and see how he would perform in the first team but chances are he may have gone anyway before that realisation.

At least this way the club get what they want in recompense and not what a tribunal decides.
