Just look at the results for today! every club in development areas, outside of the North, or M62 was well beaten, No Wonder, when all we have become is feeding ckubs, developing Takent for Super League Clubs, virtually never any signing on fee!

The sport has no one at the top, Fir for Office! It's Young backwards more & more daily! and no one seems bothered or interested, any young talented player, I knock if they get an offer from Union, I say Take it!

Indeed......but still, a full time squad losing to a part time one, at home by 20 points whilst shipping 48 is hardly going to make anyone other than you warm and fuzzy is it




76 points in 80 minutes....great if basketball's your game

The sooner this season ends the happier I think everyone will be.

Definitely.
First half hat trick v Sheffield and 4 tries today - he's heading up North for sure.

You say that Crash because you have momentarily blanked out what is likely to come next year.

Truem but this has been the worst season I can remember (even worst than last season at the Hive). At least in that last season, going to trailfinders seemed to make sense consideding how we was at the Hive. What we are doing next season is just madness with Part time and PL.

I'm still not convinced we will even finish the season next year. I put us 50% to actually survive 2023. I see us bottom of the table,just having lost by 18 points to Barrow at home, when Big Dave says I'aint paying 200K rent for 200 fans to see us lose by 18 to Barrow, after also losing to Dewsbury and Sheffield in the prevous 2 weeks before, and boom we go insolvant.

Actually finishing 2023 would be a success right now

This is what the club needs to understand. Shit team = no fans. It's not difficult to grasp though, is it !!

Crash I’m going to go out on a limb and say I’m confident we’ll finish this season. We’ll finish on Sunday when our team, tirelessly motivated by the club’s shrewd negative comms output and decision making, lose to York who prove themselves to be not quite as hapless as they appeared when we saw them at ET.
As for next season. As it stands - no question we’ll be near the bottom depends what state some of the others are in. We may scrape by although JC has form for bottom 3 finishes, albeit L1 obvs. My guess is it’s the Swinton game Mr H hates losing (or being shown up in) and fortunately for us they have been relegated. I agree who would pay out 300k to see a bad side get beat in front of a small number of disgruntled fans. Not much more than 200 on Sunday - the optics don’t look good.

Wait until you see the clubs projected attendances for Wimbledon to be something like a success. It's astonishing, even without the recent announcements.

You tease WQ.

I’ve no experience of these things you understand but I can’t see how announcing you’re going part time, announcing two of your best players are leaving, inferring that we will rely on academy players and topping it off by signing up to big fanfare the manager of the second from worst team in the pro league pyramid can do anything other than draw the crowds. People love to watch an accident.

Stop it BT my ribs are hurting. Lol

Been my main point for a while, even this season. This years squad isnt good enough. Next years will be shocking. PEOPLE WILL NOT FLOCK TO WATCH RUBBISH.

Plenty turn up to watch Arsenal though.

Not as much as Oli Leyland’s will be playing prop next year!

Boom!

Gonna have to tighten up defensively… shocking tackler

Too true.

2,000 would be my guess. £500,000 with another £100,000 on residuals like hospo, % of beer/food and merchandise.....they are dreaming. And Wimbledon fans will turn out in the same numbers as Charlton, quins, Brentford, Barnet and trailfinders fans....maybe a double header will fluff the figures in year one


I'd hazard a guess that 2012 was the last time that level of income was achieved from fans......and we were a SL club (in name anyway) with a fair number of away fans.
Part time & Academy players getting flogged isn't going to cut it.....this is Hughes final act in his 15 year demolition of a club that had 8k at one game when he took over and fewer than that in a whole season in 2018.....

....Rammo and the rest of the cheerleaders across social media remind me of the orchestra playing abide with me as the titanic went down....stoic stuff upper lip insanity


If their target is close to or even above my guestimate, someone should call th serious fraud office.....Hughes is being mugged again.

A realistic but challenging target would be to get back to where we appeared to be in the truncated 2020 season I.e. about 800. That’s a 60% + upturn on where we are now so that would be a good start as part of a 3 season plan to get the team where they think it should be. However it would require a Load of work and lateral thinking as others have said and a losing team is just not a draw so.....I don’t think it’s doable. Sigh.

A decent coach up North will see his potential and work on his defensive game

Wigan took on Sarginson and he couldn’t tackle to save his life when he was younger ( and with us)

Agreed. Natural talent was there, the bits that needed work were dealt with by Wigan....
the issue is we have hundreds if not more of naturally talented kids, but without the RFL getting involved, it's unfair for doddery dave to foot the bill and then the likes of Wigan swoop down and take the cream at no cost
