We made a profit couple seasons running and biggest factor in that was two grand finals
it probably enabled us to have all the travellers last season and now we need to trim costs again
We do well for a small club and punch way above our weight when we compete with likes of cas and widnes.
Unless a sugar daddy is coming in its hard to sustain that season afater season!
Most of us have followed this club for 10, 20 30 years or more, with little chance of being a big club, But we still go back year after year
Because we changed our coach and lost a few players alarm bells are ringing all over place with some people.
Back in early 60's club lost 7 huge name players in one season, Players like Phil Kitchen, Bill Hilliday,Alan Burns
The club survived and we carried on
God knows what messages boards would have looked like back then when they all left !!
Give the BOD a chance im sure they working hard to appoint a coach, re-sign players and sign new ones
See where we are in few months time and judge then
