Only one fewer in the trophy cabinet under Hetherington and the same number of finals though, she like Pearson ran the club as a business, we did produce players through the youth system during that time including ones that went on to represent at International level. I bet you weren't complaining when we won the CC in '05 and we had that amazing run in '06 plus how we battled through to the '08 final?
Owners, players, coaches come and go and you cannot predict how things will go in the future.
If attendances don't improve after the recent success then the club really needs to look at why that is, as per my previous post, last season was on the back of our most successful in all aspects for 30+ years, and yet we only saw an average increase of 460 fans on 2012. Let's hope more fans do turn up and the team continue to improve especially at home.
