Obviously the LED screen is a joke but as expected the majority of the down grade will be for performance and stadium utilisation. Both factors are well in the clubs control.

The sports needs to build and to not include anything for youth and get punished for having a big stadium is absolutely shocking. I suspect the crirtia will change, it has to.
But one thing for certain is we have to improve on the pitch, get that right and everything will improve, if we don't we could be in trouble.
Quote:It's absolutely essential we show progress and improvement on the pitch
Absolutely but the teams we are likely to be battling it out against have both been awarded A grade licenses. Wakefield are ambitious and will be far more competitive than London and Cas who finished 9 points ahead of us have secured new investment. Despite the improvement in our squad that's quite a margin.
That's why it's desperately important we sort out the LED screens.

Also the reduction in TV viewer score is a reflection that we haven't had a game of interest after July for any non die-hards for about 10 years now. Other clubs will have had a decider game to get in the playoffs to draw the casual SKY viewer in, we may as well be put on the Deadrubber Sports1 channel

I'm still optimistic this is the case, the timing of the dinner in particular would be unusual otherwise usually these things would be done at the start of end of seasons not when players and staff are just returning from holiday (or arriving at the club)
Another bad decision from our owner. I'm starting to feel he got lucky buying City and maybe Marketing Manager for Leeds Unred was his actual level of ability.
Aside from hiring Motu Tony what great decisions has he made at this club? The things we are good at such as merchandise and social media were already in a good place under Kath and co.

Agreed, it’s not only directly our performer score that dropped it has a knock on effect on everything.

I'll be disappointed if we finish below Cas and Wakey next year tear, I'm sure there fans will say the same, but I think that along with Hudds Is a real target, maybe Leigh and Salford depending on injuries.
Our 17 and squad is better than last season, add in the off field appointments I don't think its unreasonable to say we could finish 8th to 10th.
