| Quote Nothus="Nothus"It has only been a week since MG was on national television, telling everyone he was in it for the long haul and, should we be relegated, we will try and get back in the SL as soon as possible.
What more do you want? Another article saying the exact same thing?'"
No - but some evidence of planning for both the back office and playing staff for next year. With the season drifting away it's not long before we will be getting our season ticket renewals asking for our hard earned money - and one of the main sources of cash for the club. So to me at least I would like to hear and see something more tangible than an expression that we will "try" to get back into SL

| Quote madasmcmadammcmad2="madasmcmadammcmad2"Aye,we've had plenty of WORDS as we accelerated towards relegation with not so much as a whimper.
ACTION---NOT WORDS.
Sackings---get a COACH in place that is gonna send a CLEAR MESSAGE to the FEW remaining supporters they have left---"WE ARE GOING STRAIGHT BACK UP" and maybe,just maybe they will sell more than 2,000 season tickets---maybe?'"
Sack him and replace him with who, exactly?
Who in their right mind would want to come and coach a side that is odds on for relegation at the end of the year?
Everyone mentions John Kear but I honestly think he would turn us down.
Perhaps we should just spend money in getting rid of FC and then let LSH coach the team for the rest of the season and beyond. Is that what you want?

What about Noble? at least he will tighten up the defence!
And when we are relegated, hopefully secure promotion in the first season.

| You can have Harrison , if you are a fan of one man rugby , five drives and a kick and a style of attacking play so predictable you know thats gonna happen 3 plays before it does - will even pay for his Taxi from Shay to Odsal - Matt Calland would be better for you , good attacking rugby thats what Fax had with Calland in charge.

The replacement would already know the job in front of him,so its irrelevant to HIM whether he starts now or after the season is over.THE JOB IS TO GET US BACK UP FIRST TIME.
Time is money.Foook waiting,get the NEW COACH IN PLACE NOW--whether that's Nobby/Kear/Lowes or whoever.
We need a CLEAR MISSION STATEMENT AND WE NEED IT NOW,otherwise we'll end up with no support whatsoever and even less Sponsorship.

Have to agree with the above. The club needs cash flow to survive and these 2 revenue streams are pivotal to that happening.
We will always have the die hard fans that will buy a ST, regardless of the league, but you can guarantee that the figures for next year will be lower than the last few years.
We need to start selling a story to the fans as to why there is room for optimism and this is a chapter of the clubs history that they need to experience..... (going to take some selling!)

| You might find that conversations with sponsors and the like are already ongoing. They most certainly will not be made public knowledge for obvious reasons.
I think Marc and Steve will be sizing up pricing structures for season tickets etc. for both outcomes while they are both still mathematically possible.
But I wouldn't expect any kind of official announcement any time soon.
Sometimes you just have to let them get on with it. Steve has been involved in RL for a long time, try and take some comfort from that.

The problem with that is how is it different to the promotional gubbins they have tried with the last 4/5 season ticket launches? The fans have heard it all before, and it's turned out to be completely wrong every time. This isn't the marketing team's fault and they certainly have a tough sell but it gets to a point where actions speak louder than words. At the moment the club isn't providing much of either that is very convincing.

| Something seems to be happening today, all the Cryptic twitter messages are now appearing.
Could be news regarding FC, but I have a feeling it might be about our star quarterback Luke Gale.
Either way everyone seems to think today is the day for the news.
