Arguably 4, we went out of the playoffs in week 2 in 2007. Wigan went straight out the week after beating us as well.

I know some directors have in the past been paid for consulting fees, I have no idea what happens now exactly. The term golden goose has been used by many fans over the year simply because many of them know we pay over the odds for most things.




I don't have any sort of personel axe to grind and as you have no close knowledge of me I can not see how you can comment. Those who know me well enough will tell you I do not bear grudges or have axes to grind its too time consuming and is damaging. I hope the club makes money it a good thing for the long term future of the club, but I do feel they have underspent in certain area's like coaching. The cheapest option has long been the only thing the club knows whet it selects its coaching staff.




Where do I call fellow supporters sheep ?

Where we differ is that I have always tried to respect my fellow supporters views, its an internet chat room and many people have varying views. I have always respected that and I always will. if some one has a pop then I reserve the right to fire back. I still buy passes for my family and I will continue to do so. As for snearing distain,you do not know me so I would be careful using imotive words like that. I shall continue to attend games when I can and where do I state that I or other should boycott ?

Another assumption ?

I give you the opportunity to put the record straight about the "sheep" that was you calling fans sheep not me.

By the way this sheep has never been "herded" out of a stadium for bad behaviour that today would earn them a ban from the entire games stadiums .

That may be true but spot the plural in the word trophies......

We were in the Challenge Cup final in 2008

So perhaps arguably only 2.....

That last paragraph wasn't aimed at you, Ian.

Maybe they could use some of the profits to swallow the VAT increase and leave ticket prices frozen for next season. £24 to attend a match is too much as it is. Another £ would be a big psycological barrier for some.

Any idea on what season passes will be retailing at this year?

THe only way I would consider not getting a pass is if Cooke signed.

More chance of a meteorite landing on your head.



I will be renewing my pass. I am worried I have masochistic tendences.

To be fair, it looks like one already has!

The VAT rise shouldn't affect season passes as they will be sold before January, I agree, the match day price really can't go up much further, not unless we spend some money in a fairly evident way.

The club making a profit is positive, but they cannot be seen to be making excessive profits with no success on the field.

Been saying it for years, we are not a £23 a game club

Maybe they should do a 3 year pass, or do an offer like the Bulls (15,000 fans though)

Maybe we aren't a £23 or £24 club but as people pay it the club will keep charging it.

I agree, woulden't be surprised to see up to 1,000 less to be honest.

very little hype due to deflation of the derby defeat and lack of big name signings, and some drab rugby in the last 3 years.

I'll be honest and say the only reason I will renew is so that I don't lose my good East stand seats, if I was unreserved or sitting in the less populated West Stand I'd be picking and choosing games next season.

the club should also look at reducing its prices for the less high-profile games. Are they allowed to categories games like football clubs do? I.e have half the home games as a 'A games' at full price and the other half 'B games' at a reduced rate. Games against Quins, Salford, Crusaders, Catalan etc with no away fans and atmosphere simply aren't worth £23...they could get away with it when we were 'CC winners, grand finalists' but not now.
