Oh give over, we’ve had a bad start to the season and had a few tough years on the field but the club is in a healthy state, we’ve got a world class Rugby stadium nearly finished, were in a healthy state business wise, we’ve got a great crop of youngsters coming through, if you look at where we are now to where we were in 1996 were in a much better position to rebuild the first team playing squad but to say its a sad period for the club is utterly ridiculous IMO
I was just going to say give over myself. Couldn’t give a crap about stadium myself, and think it has distracted us, but whilst I feel the squad is not good enough, I actually think we are in a better position now than 2016, and we won the GF the year after. It’s not doom and gloom long term, just now. This period was always coming, and it was always going to take time to rectify the McDermott latter years. People under estimated the damage he was doing along with the rest of management of the club, and this was continually pointed out by fans. This is what we are seeing the results of now.
