Cas Tigers Ambition is a total joke.

Hull 10,000 fans, Cas 5,000. Bigger financial stream, hence bigger signings.

High Quality signings = bigger attraction for
Fans
Sponsors
Players

I agree Hull have a bigger fanbase,

How often do Hull fail to get their revenue streams sorted?

Shirts are a key element
so are putting players in them worth watching

Professional Running of the club attacts
Better players = more consistant results = better cup and play off runs = bigger crowds = more money. Eventually = winning things.

More investment in players = less investment in infrastructure = bye bye Super League.

No massive pot of riches + big fine = poorer recruitment

Nope, I'm not counting away support.

For instance, Harlequins, Catalans - we only achieved 5,000 attendances.

I'd say we have a ST base of about 3000 fans. Hull have considerably more.

No, the bigger games more paying fans come out the woodwork.

Alot more would come out of the woodwork if we were winning games and putting in good performances week in week out

Until we gain back consistancy, stop getting thumped by bigger teams and comptete week in week out the "woodwork fans" will remain the same

I remember a certain CEO saying in 1999 that he wanted an average crowd of 10k in the next 5 years, Well hes had 10 and were still not there.

Wont mention his hairbrain 5 year plans including Grand finals etc.

Fans want to follow consistant success.
Fans want to see quality players, not release someone then resign then 1month later who in fairness is average at best.

Stopping recruitment because of a 20k fine is a lame excuse, Sign a quality player he'll pay for himself and the fine in season tickets and shirts alone.
