Is this where you tell us for the one hundredth time where you buy a season ticket although you don't go to the games :roll:


I guess it is an improvement on those who buy tickets on a match by match basis which means if they can’t attend they don’t pay.

Well which ever way you look at fans are the life blood of the club. Once lost they rarely return. There is no getting away from it that the late chester years did the club damage. The back end of this year has been good but Cas at home and Salford away were bad PR. We need a competitive team to deliver good performances ,we also need better facilities to attract new fans. We are getting the facilities so we need a team to match. Its up to the BoD to provide both. Apart from moan and groan there is very little the ordinary fan can do ,other than keep turning up till you get fed up.

Exactly this. Great post PB

MAGIC.

Have they looked for one or is it too overgrown at the bottom of the garden because they’ve had several years to do so.

The last one I heard use this expression was Theresa May and she found 1 billion pounds to buy off the DUP.


I despair. No money tree. Magic or otherwise.
Only good business. Its going to be tough this year. No one has any money apart from the energy companies.
We need to somehow convince people to part with money to be entertained. And sometimes it's not entertaining!

We'll just have to dig in and see what the new season brings.
We have a decent team. Hopefully a couple of additions can freshen it up and make it competitive.

He actually says tge words 'not having a go at anyone' and says he understands the cost of living crisis.
He's just answering people like Scar and Lampy who think he has a money tree.

It really is pointless trying to reason with some people Pop Tart. Damed if he does, Damed if he doesn’t. Some on here criticised him for not making statements earlier, now criticising when he does. The amount of abuse he receives from some posters on here is appalling, but as soon as he might have had a little dig, those self same critics don’t like it.

Can't resist a dig at his customer base as usual. How many businesses out there consistently slag off parts of their potential customer base. Idiotic for one that is desperate for any income. Apart from that it was actually a good press release with a nice sentiment.


And you called me a plum, well at least I’m not a rotten one.

I have never said he's got a money tree, I have criticised the club for its total lack of marketing and effort in Attracting new supporters
Personally I don't care that much about the players that have gone and the players moving on are hardly turning out for top ranked opposition.
I would have much rather read a statement of how the club will move on and take measures to try and make sure we are not in the same position again. How the club will be marketing itself and not relying on the odd Facebook statement of GAME DAY.

To me the statement is what it is, we all knew months ago about batch & milky.The only thing was players getting sorted in may,i know they were ooc but it was the lack of faith they might not get out of it.Did they have lack of faith in the club or coach or both just a thought.

The dig is needless. He can and should be bigger than petty comments in an official statement.

Carter has a strong personality and self belief, a lot of the anonymous SMALL poster on here can’t deal with it. They claim they want strong leadership then bleat like sheep when they get a version of it they don’t like.

Despite what some chose to believe Carter does not buy the players, train them or pick them, that is the coaches job. Ditto the players, how they play is down to them.

They don’t perform then MC doesn’t have a good product to sell.
He’s a financial wizard but until the team performs he’s limited.

As for invest to accumulate you still need the cash to start with, we clearly don’t!

That said he’s a canny CEO, Although I don’t think we have a pile of cash laying around we are rather nicely placed to pick up those gems the World Cup always throws up. Three overseas players, that’s a lot of wiggle room for WP. I may have been critical of his selections and tactics but his eye for a player has been pretty good.

Could be fun next year.

It's a reflection on the 2022 season so you looking in the wrong place for what you'd rather have read.
