The silence is deafening, the only positive news out of the club recently has been Tangata's extension and Kyle Eastmond's appointment. There is clearly some things happening in the background with players moving on. But who knows exactly what? Selling out the early bird season tickets isn't a huge cause for celebration given I think they were capped at 200 (someone may correct me) so not a huge number of tickets shifted.

Rochdale put this statement out, I think it's fair to say we're not in a too dissimilar position,

[iStatement from Andy Mazey, Rochdale Hornets chairman:

"As a board, we are determined to increase season ticket and membership numbers for 2025, as well as the number of people supporting and engaging with the club generally.

"We have therefore decided to take the unprecedented step of providing regular and transparent updates throughout the closed season.

"At the time of writing, I can report we have 55 platinum and regular season passes sold and allocated in total so far. This figure includes 15 Under 16s passes which are issued free of charge.

"To put this into perspective and in very sobering terms, the income from sales to date does not cover the contractual commitment made to one of our higher-earning players, let alone an entire playing squad."[/i

Brilliant news to get Brandon tied up for another 2 years and surprised another SL hasn’t given him another go.
