My Question: What is the club doing to ensure change is carried out? Every successful business must change whether right or wrong, after being the club to follow when Super League began we now seem to be falling behind other clubs who offer a better overall package, are fresh ideas being welcomed?, as it seems there has been little change in the way the club looks forward and operates, finally would the club be willing to take the risk of speculating to accumulate, for instance, risks to be taken to attract the crowds back?

Has anyone else on here sent any questions in?

My question is as follows:

I am unable to attend every home game due to other commitments and as a result sometimes "cherry pick" the games I attend especially if the weather is poor. Has the club considered introducing a cheap season ticket in an attempt to bolster crowds similar to how our neighbours at Valley Parade have done?

I would be more inclined to buy a cheap season ticket and then feel obliged to attend even when the weather is poor or the game is on Sky if I had already bought a ticket. At present £17 entry to the game doesn't feel like value for money.

I seem to recall a similar question was asked at the last forum regarding the Giants offer for season tickets. Perhaps someone with a better memory can recall the answer? Without a backer to help cover a possible loss, it may well be a risk we cannot afford to take? In any case our season tickets are still among the cheapest in SL I believe.

What can the fans do to help turn the fortunes around (on & off the pitch)?

And, can you put an attendance number on what we would need to achieve week in week out to be able to realise some of your goals (please state what they are)?

When's Joe getting a coaching contract?

You know where to email these questions. Posting them on here won't get them asked at the forum.

My question has gone to the club via e-mail. I thought the purpose of the thread was to get an idea of the questions that have been sent?

Personally I would find it interesting to see which questions were sent in and actually answered - ie the club can't hide from the fact that certain questions were asked (via mail directly) and then also shown here on the fans site.

The club will no doubt answer specific hand picked questions for which they have a "decent" answer. There may be some tough questions sent in that they choose not to answer, but if those questions are shown on here there may be an opportunity for others who attend the meeting to ask any questions that were not answered?

Just like the last two forums.

I'd like to know when our England Academy players selected for the tour down under last season, that are spoken so highly of are goping to be given the oppurtunity to show their skills in Super League. There has been talk of a injury crisis at Bulls last season and this season, yet we have seen only 2 of the lads given the chance to shine, and for only minimal gametime(Yes I know Crookes and Hyde are injured).

Personally, I think Steve McNamara needs to get them playing a lot more often. Dont hold them back, play them here and there.

Well I went to the last forum and they allowed questions from the floor, so anyone with a 'tough question' should attend to ensure it is answered to their satisfaction.

Absolutely.
How many of the "brave" on here will suddenly lose their voice come forum time.

If they go.

Or if they can make it.

I'll be there. It should be a very interesting forum this time.

My questions are emailed and I shall be attending

Do I have to buy tickets, or is it open?

Last time they had one you just turned up.

There's usually Peter Hood, Stuart Duffy, Ryan Duckett and Steve McNamara on the stage. Stuart reads out the submitted questions and they all answer them. At the end they ask for further questions.

Seeing as the question came from someone who was at the time in Australia visiting family it would be a bit hard for him to attend.

Well I don't mind asking tough questions.
If anyone has any question they don't dare ask in person (sorry, I mean are too far away to ask) then I'm happy to ask it for them and relay the answer via this board.

I'll only draw the line at messages of violence to members of the panel. Macca is still built like a forward and is from Hull and I like my nose where it is thanks

Without sounding negative I'd like to ask about the clubs (and Maccas) views on players drinking and activities whilst not training, and if this could be a factor in the underperformance.

Ha! I'll have them in stitches. They think I drink like a fish

unfairly I might add!!!!

Steve Menzies is a binge Banana Bread Beer drinker.

Before any more not very subtle digs are aimed towards my direction (which it clearly was before anyone tries to pretend otherwise), I think I have my own reasons for being unable to attend.

Despite my location, it is kinda hard getting any free time with having two kids to look after with a full time job to do whilst my wife is extremely heavily pregnant. I really do not think my priority lies with asking questions the board of a rugby team.

However, I do look forward to hearing how it goes, and, of course, the points they avoid. I also look forward to seeing how many of their answers actually bear fruit in the future.

Still, good on them for taking it on.

If it does happen.

You heard / suspect something RER??
