Re: Recruitment for 2017

I will be renewing my season ticket, although I do seem to be questioning my decision frequently.I get very little enjoyment from going to matches at the moment.The performance of the team,Wane and the atmosphere in the ground, it's depressing.
I think a change of coach from outside the club with a proven record would help ticket sales even if the squad remains largely unchanged. It would at least give a little hope.

That is the interesting question. For some it will enough to put Wane forward for a knighthood and the ultimate put down for those of us who can't forget 26+ games of dross we have seen this year.

The thing is which ever side of that fence you are on I don't think you could seriously argue it would mean anything other than you only need turn up for the GF.

So if you were looking at it logically then there is no justification for a season ticket, but supporting isn't all about logic. I seriously thought about not renewing this year but caved in as I enjoy meeting up with the people who sit around me in the East Stand and it's so much better than watching on the TV.

Mind you for most games I was already halfway there working in Runcorn but my job has changed so I work from home so that bit further to go. Not been bad so far but might be an issue early in the season around Feb with weather.

Seems like the glass half empty crowd have spilled their last half.

I will be renewing. I've followed this club thru barren years & the glory years, I'm not going to stop unless, as Mark said, something drastically happens in my life that I can't.

A joint team of Dennis Betts and Adrian Lam would kill it in Super Duper League IN MY OPINION

South Sydney have lost their last 9 matches and are near the bottom of the league, so maybe Maguire would be available to come back soon

And Betts would insist on bringing Ah Van with him, surely?

I will be buying mine but I have got to say that in all my years of watching our great club I have never been so bored. The club do need to do something to reignite the fans interest though as season ticket sales continue to drop!

That would solve our kicking problem
