Me too. Some local derbies we've not had I years. More winnable games. Maybe more regular kick off times.
And we went down. Nobody died

The 2022 accounts paint a very different picture

ALL our problems started before Michael took over. He's done his damndest to put them right and has succeeded where all before failed, in getting the ground going in the right direction with the first true modern facilities we've ever had. He's been up against it all the time and he's made some mistakes the past 18 months. I for one will give the guy a break and look to the future now

Different from the ones we've been used to with a HMRC winding up order or cva you mean?

Still waiting for your explanation of why they are so bad.

So you consider any supporter who does not fall into the I love MC category to be cowardly and less than those who do. I too have supported the club over 45 years and have consistently held a season ticket for the last 20. This obviously covers the current incumbents regime. I have bought a seating ticket even though for the last two years I knew I would not be able to attend. I have made my views clear so I guess you just have to live with it and accept that not everyone is grateful especially over the last few seasons. We have been relegated with only 4 wins but we should be grateful, well I think it could have been avoided with a little more spending on the squad and a better coach.
I would suggest you look at the accounts posted for last year and you may realise that they have to sell to someone with more resources or face the end of the club under JM.
In conclusion I hope you can explain to me why you are a better supporter and those like me cannot give our opinions. If you want to live in that sort of society China could be a possibility for you.

The accounts do not say that.

Personally, I can take or Leave MC. OK, he did save the club but you cannot ignore that he has had a considerable amount of involvement in our demise as a SL club. The thing that annoys me is that when he came on board I distinctly remember him stating that, "His door is always open" (It wasn't), He "would act honestly" (that's been debatable), and during the final period of his tenure his only engagement with the fans appears to be when he wants money off them. I'm not over sad that he will be leaving.

As much as relegation hurts, the money had to go where IMG and their silly little point scheme dictated it go. Belle View may still be a bit rusty in certain areas but others look tons better than even just over a year ago. The board clearly worked to increase our point score and make some of the changes we had been promising for years but never delivered on. These changes were made to ensure we stand a chance of being in the top division when the point system comes in and I applaud them for that. Yes the team was poor, but if we get back up due to the ground improvements I think people may start to regret their negativity towards the current men in charge.

The ground alone will not support a return to SL, we have to also gain enough points on the other sections of the strategy.

Which as you know they have also done.

Yes but so will other clubs so just like me you will just have to wait and see.

You can add as many "yes buts" as you like but we are in a much better place than we were because of the improvements to the stadium and the work done to make the finances more favourable.

And you don't have to wait and see. You can go through the handbook and try andcwork out other teams scores.
I look forward to your feedback.

It's alright scoring all these points and the money it costs, but what about the thing that really matters, The Team, and the product on the field. Not much good getting a A with a duff team.
I don’t get the logic of it all.
All this for 12 elite teams, when the grass roots of the game is in a terrible state.

I know you did for us and misinterpreted a section. I am certainly not going to look at every other club because who knows what next season will bring.

How did I misinterpret a section?

I agree, it's ridiculous. I was trying to explain it to two football fans last night and they thought I was taking the mick. Points for an electronic scoreboard, advertising, flood lights etc. etc.

Because if you have an A grade you can develop your team knowing you are in SL, unlike where we are now where we can't recruit because we never know what league or financial situation we will be in.

What did I misinterpret Scarlet?

Catchment areas

No I didn't.
The scores for both Wakefield and Cas were correct.

I suggest Hunslet were included in Leeds figures by mistake but the numbers were still the same.

Ironic that any club that is promoted into the Premier League has a number of standards to meet particularly in regards floodlights, most who have been out of the top flight for a length of time have to spend millions in a very short space of time getting their facilities up to minimum Premier League requirements.

Very True but the actual promotion and relegation is 100% based on on field performance.
