For instance for the three of us, we are not paying around 120GBP (ticket costs + travel) to see the squad get tonked by 60 by Fev. Same for games vs Fax, Leigh, Batley, Bradford, Newcastle, York etc, unless we see a clear plan on how the club decide to strengthen the squad so we are competitive.
So we will be very targetted on which games we attend, and its likely only to be a handful at most this season. We won't be going to Widnes, and we will take the decision on Haven based on how the team do in the games prior to that.
And before we get accused of being fair weather fans, we have been ST holders (gold ST holders) since 2000, and we attended every game in that span pretty much until Covid hit. Not to mention buying tops every year plus other goodies etc... So we have put money into this club over the years, but we are not funding the rent for PL, until we see we have a squad which can compete
We just don’t know yet but think there are quite a few games I think with an injury free team and a decent team spirit we could be competitive and I think we must have a decent shot at a home win against Sheffield, Batley, Dewsbury, Barrow, Haven and Workington. They should all be worth a punt. If you look at the incomings and outgoings for some of those clubs they aren’t exactly pulling up trees either. However, there does seem a wide gap now between our squad and Fev, Leigh, Fax, Bulls and Newcastle. Bearing in mind the difficulties in getting to PL on top of everything else I can definitely see why people wouldn’t fancy it. I myself will be giving a swerve to the Fev game. I just don’t see how that will be anything other than messy.
