Why didn't DH, The Lobster and the monkey listen and learn instead of removing posts and banning hardcore fans. The club is in serious decline and far from pleasing the banned and missing fed up fans it breaks their heart. People spoke out through concern not any other reason. Sad the above couldn't understand it and invite them to discuss their severe concerns but suppose it was easier for the monkey to ban than listen to those who know better
Spot on.
Hughes refusal to listen to anyone is the #1 reason that the club he got lumped with the Lenegan left is now worth about 10% of it's value back in 2007
When you sell a business as a going concern you get paid for the assets and the "goodwill".......in 2007 we had a full time SL squad under contract, a rental agreement to play in a purpose built Rugby Stadium with no disruption to the regular season and 4,500 paying fans. Hughes was throwing about 1 million on top of the 1.8 million funding and fans were delivering about 80 grand on the gate
This coming sunday, a part time squad of kids and journeymen will play 2nd tier rugby in a football stadium for a similar rent with maybe 1,200 fans delivering maybe 20k on the gate.......
and the single reason that we have ended up here, is David Hughes.
It won't, but it should rankle him that us old whingers were right all the time and he was assuredly stubbornly wrong!
