Good news!
Excellent news and support from the clubs fans which in all honesty is likely to be majority of what would be classed as hard core fans. Hopefully the turnaround of players can start to show the clubs supporters be it fans or commercial sponsors some form of repayment for the efforts.
I’m also pleased for AP that the club has been backed so well again as regardless of what some may say, without him the club would be in a much poorer state.
Hopefully we can beat the membership numbers of last season and if we can get off to a decent start we can increase the pay on the gate numbers each week.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
Great effort to surpass 7K this early, I know a lot of people who don't sort out their passes till after Christmas/new Year so I think we have a good chance of bettering last years total.

Bit concerned about the Cator interview in the HDM today, says that the play is for Cator to move to hooker when Houghton goes off. This should not be happening, when Houghton goes off we need someone with a bit of spark, not someone who has no attacking threat and is there just to tackle. We have a dew better options at 9 than Cator and based on last season he shouldn't be in the 17 anyway.
Really hope we don't waste the potential talent Balmforth has.
Only way i can see it is if we have some sort of injury disaster during a game. Unless Smith manages to transform Cator into some world class 9 (which won't happen).
We'll have Brown, Smith, Houghton, Balmforth and Hodgson. No need for Cator to move to hooker.
Cator does mention Balmforth as a possible 13. If he's on top of his fitness I hope he gets a decent crack next year
Seems bizarre that we would be trying to slot Cator in as interchange hooker when we have a New Zealand International interchange hooker in the squad. I know he most likely will play in the halves at the start of the year, but once Trueman is fit again I'd expect us to line up as
Walker Hoy Trueman Houghton
Brown
Not to mention Balmforth, Smith and Hodgson who can cover hooker at least until Trueman is fit again.
