He was very good at spending money with a questionable return on that investment.

I wonder how this came about so quickly. Looks unplanned with no successor in line.

Never a more true statement spoken. And the membership cards are rubbish .

As MD...(don't know why we have to use Americanism like CEO)...he'll likely to continue to reap reward off his seeds even after the a new MD comes in, unless he awards himself a nice fat golden handshake from the shareholders.

we are clearly in a better place I wouldn't say we made massive strides but strides non the less.


The club shop is better

the logo is better new and fresh...yes some don't like it but some would rather we were still at wilderspool!

communication with fans is better. things have got done whether its more staff in the concourses cheaper beer and better hand dryers but stuff has got done.

the season ticket set up is much more professional.

match day experience started off brilliantly and did die down a bit but the light show stuff has been brilliant the recent saints game was top notch.

And we are the only club that has players on Question of sport I'm guessing the club has to approach the BBC for that.


If he can get rid of the cloth cap image of the sport in general he'll deserve a medal....I'm sure he'll give it a good go.
But we are a top quality club, and we'll get a very good replacement, who will do just as much if not more, i'm sure of that.

So long as it's not Brian Berwick,I've no idea what he as done for Rugby League apart from turn up for free lunches.

Fully agree about the membership cards / season tickets (whichever they're meant to be). What's the point of having manned turnstyles if you have a card that gives you access to the stadium that you can scan yourself ? And why waste money printing paper tickets for cup games when the cards could have the info loaded on to them ?

Re: Roger Draper : Thu Oct 13, 2016 12:12 pm  

Some mixed opinions here, but for me -

Good move by the RFL
Not good for Wires but he leaves us in a stronger place than we were in.

Thanks and best wishes Roger

We get told its the rfl that force the paper tickets for cup games etc...however i am lead to believe to add the games to the cards, the whole system requires an expensive upgrade. Maybe something that can be done in the off season...
