Need to face reality and start planning now

Where did I say we didn’t need to start planning for next season? Reality will be faced whether we like it or not.

Well I have woke up this morning and the aroma of coffee is in my nostrils. I obviously don't live in your world because the way I say things, this season is over. I realise we now have to go through the motions of playing two meaningless games but that is it for me.
Just waiting to see what pans out now and hopefully Matt Ellis takes over pretty quick. He has so much to do to rebuild the car crash left by Minards and Carter and in reality very little time to sort it all out before we start our championship campaign .

I am more interested in what we need to do preparing for 2024 than the mud throwing and sniping that continues to bore on from select fans. Those same fans who are now calling out fans for trying to support their team. It’s the lowest of the low.

This season is all but gone and focus should be going straight to 2024 for certain. That’s what I am interested in talking about.

We are at a point which isn’t fantastic but we norms need to see how things unfold as you say and discuss this off-season our preperation for 2024. If it’s Ellis then great but if it doesn’t happen then I would like to see how the current owners are going to approach 2024.

First priority is hopefully to sign s handful of this years squad up who would add to a successful championship squad in 2024. We may know for certain after the Leigh game if the SL dream is over.

I agree. Time to look forward.
Try and keep the good ones and young ones with potential, clear out the crap.
Take better advise on overseas signings and work the new stand for every penny its worth.

hello everybody. what a sad day ,I have been a trinity supporter since 1948. Unfortunately I have not been able to attend any match this season,due to ill health I had to have an aorta reconstruction and surgeon would not let me go to matches so cant say much about the abysmal performance in the first 14 matches,but most or the criticism must rest with the poor recruitment in the close season and not changing coach with a shocking record.I have said that I have not seen trinity this season and at the moment have no wish to go back next season and the prospect of championship rugby. Maybe I will change my mind but i really do doubt not unless season ticket price recognise the drop in standards.

I wonder if some realise the impact of relegation
A loss of Sky money
Little or no media coverage
A reduction in sponsorship
Reduced crowds
We still have the same loan payments which unfortunately do not reduce with relegation but less money to service these debts.

I doubt this is what you wanted from your incumbents but this is what they have watched over with the main protagonist departing leaving his mess behind him.

Exactly … think a lot of folk think it’s going to be a doddle ! The loss of sky money is massive , plus wait and see the attendances every week . There won’t be teams bringing nearly 1000 fans to fill the west terrace ! It’s a total disaster of a season , just shameful !!

Yet when Minards said they were also preparing for if we ended up in Championship he got lots of criticism.

Let's hope he did actually plan for it and ignored the Facebook accountants.

Yes but sadly they were preparing for the championship before the start of this season.
