I definitely wouldn't either in terms of season pass. Matchday tickets for away games might be viewed differently.

It is a worrying time for many sports and businesses not just RL. The problem being there differing news in the media about what is happening, what to do etc.
Hopefully as a club Adam careful management will see us safely through. I feel we are in a much better position than some clubs and the high membership number will of course help in the short term. As for long term who knows as difficult to predict or say for certainty how long this may go in for.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

I do hope so. I am concerned that we had spent very big this year for probably a zero return. Other clubs like Huddersfield are arguably better insulated than us despite much lower crowds as the have Davy to make up any income shortfall. A very big day tomorrow.

It must be a concern when we have already said we are spending big this year yet any potential upsides like a cup run, on the day gate receipts and merchandise could be significantly compromised.
Not wanting to brag but weve actually got 2 millionaires on our board of directors

Thanks for that. Good business model that you have I guess, ground ownership, decent attendances and 2 millionaires to smooth over any unexpected income gaps.
