I agree, by all means give the new coach a chance but I will never accept DR as being good for the club. Imagine entering into an agreement with Batley for DR and getting promoted on the back of it, what happens the following season? I can't imagine Batley being enthusiastic about a DR agreement then due to being in direct competition. Lets build the team to gain promotion under our own steam.

Just out of curiosity how many are in favor for a DR agreement?

Probably none me included but if we were lucky enough to get promoted then maybe the money we get for going up would help us stand alone again.
We tried this season to go it alone. We spent more than we had in the past on what most people were exited about and this didn't work.
We were beaten by Toulouse who were head and shoulders above everyone during the season, Rochdale, York, Doncaster We're all DR and we couldn't compete with them.
Just take it until the RL stop DR we have to accept that if we don't go with it we fall further behind then it could be too late.
At this level of sport you have to accept that some things are out of our control to survive.

This ^^^^^ As many as possible need to attend in order to have a say and clear the air. Not only to have a say but also to listen. I'm just as against DR as most Cougar fans but I will support the team whichever way we end up going. Season ticket ordered. Up the Cougars!

That's the words of a true supporter. There's a lot of things in life we don't agree with but sometimes we have to accept them to move on in life.
This situation is no different.
Accept it or punish yourself by not going to the matches every week.
Give the club a chance and judge it at the end of the season not the beginning.

Thank goodness for a bit more of a positive feel creeping in! The new signings look good too - I wonder whether Danny L is capable of better things with a fresh start and the Oxford player could be good news too.
