Not expecting any loan players to come in.

£1.2m loss expected

3000 down. Mainly older fans due to covid worries.

First meeting with the new City owners was positive. A move away from the MKM is less likely.

Loan signing unlikely. Need to give young players a chance.

Worrying at least £1.2m loss for the next two years and those season tickets will take some getting back especially when a few I know who don't yet feel comfortable going back to games are ones who are still paying their direct debits.

Honest from AP again. Sometimes he’s too honest.

Is any club not going to make a substantial loss over the Covid seasons?

I’m sure The Dobbins will revel in it that stat from AP, but Grudgell has had to pick up their shortfall year on year.

Sadly it’s a sign of the times with the after affects of the pandemic, the cost of living and general changes in peoples habits & priorities from lockdown on top of some pretty poor rugby the past few years.
I think losing a number of members was always on the cards when the club could only have a certain number last season. I would think it’s a fair assumption that many of the ones that were unfortunate not to be able to renew have not come back, plus many still worried about getting back in to the stadium. Not sure the weekend fixtures have helped either.
As much as our neighbours across the river may chuckle and have fun with a sick over this I think every club in SL will be facing similar.
Hopefully once the season is underway the team will perform and results will come to attract the fans back.

Well, it is what it is, financial jeopardy and a cycle of fewer fans, less money for the squad, worse results etc. Hoping we can get off the mark on Sunday - one thing at least is we don't have outlandish claims of what we'll achieve

Quite enjoying the Fev v Leigh game in premier sports. Gotta say the pitch is digging up a little though it’s certainly been entertaining.
Let’s hope that’s what we get this season good valued entertainment and performances from the team.

I didn't renew because of the weekend fixtures. I'll still go to most games but I know I'll miss at least 3 so doesn't make sense to have a season pass. Let's hope the performances on the pitch encourage a lot of walk ups to attend.
