The Man with a van . eating the hairy pie

Re: Almost half way there-season tickets : Wed Jan 13, 2016 1:09 pm  
When Brian McDermott went to Leeds the fans wanted rid of him. Radford said when he started that it would take a couple of seasons to sort it all out . Well he has had his couple of seasons .This is his Team it is now time for him to deliver . It is hard to comprehend how many season pass holders we have lost but hey that is sport . Our crowds need to improve tremendously but this will only come by winning . No disrespect to the teams that finished below or around us last year but we need to be beating or competing with Leeds , Wigan, Saints etc not just a lucky win here and there . This really is my last season. I have bought 1 x senior pass and 2 juniors for the last 3 or 4 years supporting Pearson. I work away as well so dont even use the pass for every game So for me this really is make or break

Ive always kept in mind that radders said he would take a couple years to build a team and this years does seem to be significantly different than from a few years back. A lot more youth has come through and some big stars in the making, tipping Logan for stardom. This year is it for radders, like you said, if we don't compete then he needs to go.

The three things highlighted

1. It cannot be shocking if you expected it to happen.

2. How has Pearson buried his head in the sand? A managers office with a revolving door would put us back to square one on a frequent basis. The cringeworthy line of "I need my players" or "Time to gel" cack would be reeled out time and again with yet another 2-3 year lead time. Personally I think Pearson should be applauded by sticking by a coach rather than being trigger happy in the fired button. Pearson has backed his man, at his own financial cost in the short term on the hope it works out. Its Pearson who stands to be a lot worse off than anyone else on this so I would say his eye are as wide open as you can get on this. Don't get me wrong, I have been a Radford critic, but this year he HAS to deliver.

3. Whats this arrogance and contempt for fans you talk of? If you think he doesn't listen to the fans (hasn't fired Radford at the bequest of fans disgruntlement) then good on him. Asaleof very vocal fans speak out in the heat of the moment nt and most say irrational things.


1. The actual figure is shocking not the decline in sales. Which is actually clear from the post.

2. We obviously have differing opinions on this. But the fact Pearson knew crowds were declining. Knew fans were not happy with Radford or the rugby served. And we were roundly criticized in the media for how poor we were at times. Yet he chose to ignore the warning signs which would lead to a decline in sales and support his man so good on him and bully for you he did eh. But this has been to the detriment of his finances again his choice but why bleat about it and plead with fans to support the club financially when clearly fans and thousands of them disagree.
Again clear.

3. Again we disagree on this but at times his comments and actions in the media and public have been very disparaging towards fans.
Again clear and documented and previously discussed on here.

Is that clear enough for you?

I think you've summed it up pretty well.

The referee's indecision is final

Re: Almost half way there-season tickets : Wed Jan 13, 2016 6:46 pm  
on a slightly more positive note, maybe a lot of supporters are waiting to see how this team performs. if we do well there could be a bigger than usual walk up of match day tickets buyers. this puts quite a bit of pressure on radford and the team to perform but get it right and the crowds could still be decent

the lost season ticket buyers haven't disappeared, they are all still there in the shadows

Can't see a big walk up myself with the problems getting hold of tickets on match days. The SMC changes have really come at a bad time for us and made it easier for people not to bother

Not just the ticket issues. When you have not made a financial commitment to go to a game there are so many other things to sway your decision. Bad weather, Cash flow, Game on sky, Poor form to name a few examples. Results make a big difference and would go a long way to help improve crowds, but we saw last year that the league as a whole has become much more competitive week to week so the chances of stringing together a good run of results is a much harder task.

Looks like we should make the most of having a good squad to watch this season.
