| Quote: DSJ1983 "Yeah I’m saying exactly that. See how many don’t turn up on Saturday, if you can’t get people through the door when they’ve already paid are the same people really going to pay again for the privilege to renew at a price increase?
The club is sleep walking into an absolute oblivion with season tickets and attendances (Both from an income and licensing point of view) next year and I can’t figure out yet if they’re genuinely just underestimating how much of an absolute disaster it’s going to be or more worrying do they know and just plan on jumping ship leaving us high and dry.'"
I agree that the club needs to work hard to generate any kind of optimism for next season but I think you are being way OTT with the doom-mongering.
There is a big difference with being fed up with the current season and deciding to skip a few games and deciding to not to renew.
I can only speak for myself but I'll probably skip Salford and go to Catalans because its Danny and Carlos' last game for us, however I'll renew for next year because its a new year and hope springs eternal. I don't believe I'm an outlier in that regard.

| Back to the Salford game....
Just watched the Salford - Catalans game from yesterday. Salford will absolutely take us to the cleaners. As will Catalans the following week.

| Still thibk it's important to finish the season with some kind of positivity.
Salford is about performance, but there is a chance Catalans have nothing to play for.
I've been saying this for about 5 years , the August/September curse continues.
When was the last time we won in September?

We won twice in September 2020 but that year the season ran late due to Covid.
Last "normal" September win was at Cas, 22nd September 2017. I think Cas had rested quite a few before the play off semi.

| My only aim this season is to see dobbins finish 3rd and lose the GF semi
If Salford winning means Leigh and Leeds have to score big v dobbins then I’m happy
We almost surely deserve bottom but can see us just hanging on
London lost their best chance v Giants

| The way Catalans are playing there’s still a chance London could go there and get a win. Catalans are erratic at best and London always turn up and have a go, you’d think home advantage might shade it for Catalans but it will be close, can’t see it being anymore than by 6-12 points.
Looking at the table and fixtures I still think it’s possible we avoid the wooden spoon, realistically though we need to turn up on Saturday and have a real good dig and be aiming to keep within about 50 points of Salford, that will be difficult as they throw the ball wide and we can’t defend out wide. If we do keep within 50 and Catalans get the result it means we can afford to lose to Catalans by the same margin Warrington beat London at home, assuming Warrington still have something to play for that should be pretty comfortable for them. What a sad state of affairs to have to be looking like that at the points column to hope we finish above part time London.

Very true and depressing reading this, we held Wigan to a 14 or so point loss, if I our heads are right, no reason why we can't keep the Salford score down (although thought that about the Leeds game)

cartoons/WB17.gif I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011.
Money doesn't talk it swears, Obscenity who really cares, Propaganda all is phony.
I'm the son and heir of a shyness which is criminally vulgar.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.

After London's narrow loss yesterday, I guess points-difference has now come back into the equation as we bid to avoid finishing last.
After Friday's hammering, we now hold only a -49 point advantage over London. This is all ifs, buts and maybes, but If London were to lose their two remaining games by equally small margins (say 6-10 pts) and we collapse to a couple of 30-40pt defeats (entirely plausible given the current circumstances) then we could find ourselves truly rock bottom come season's end, even if London still lose both of their remaining games.
How on earth have we managed to paint ourselves into this corner? Desperately hoping we don't concede another fifty point mauling so that we are 'successful' in staying above a part-time glorified championship outfit! I hope everyone connected with the club are truly proud of how they have conducted themselves in 2024.
Even by the standards of recent years, I don't think I have ever felt so drained or dispirited at the end of a season. Week after week after week of watching a once great and proud club rip itself apart, to the point where it has come to this.
Of course I will still be renewing for next year (as one of the 2000!! ). Breaking a fifty year habit is not very easy and I personally still haven't hit rock bottom where my club is concerned. I'm just very VERY angry at how those charged with running my club are conducting their business
