Given your line of reasoning, the first thing that needs to be done is stop telling the paying public (and on past occasions the RL too) that we are about to start building, and / or have time scales for finishing, a 1000 seater stand system.
If we have no money to build the stand and no license to plan the building of one at the Rec, then that needs to be made clear to all concerned.
Month after month over the past 3 - 4 we read in the Whitehaven News that one will be build, will be started to be built etc etc. ...... and nothing ever happens, so why keep making empty statements.
The overall condition of the ground is worse than poor at present, and I can't see where any money has been spent on it in the past 10 years or more.
I am not being critical of the BOD, however WRLFC is a business, and as with all businesses, to be successful they need a clear, achievable and ongoing medium term plan, based on a vision that all of the stakeholders (inc supporters here) are aware of and can buy into. The BOD's role is to provide the vision and the plan and make it visible.
On your own admission, (above post), you can't see the vision nor the plan ........ and neither can anyone else who pays through the turnstyle I suggest.
My post was less about the stand and more about the overall vision and associated plan. The stand is however part of both presumably .... so had to be mentioned.
