According to a recent article our average attendance is 11,374, we'd have to lose almost 4k fans to miss IMG's target if 7.5k as annoyed as we are I don't see that happening. Can easily happen over a few years tho and once fans have broken the habit they are hard to get back.

IMG go off actual figures don't they not announced figures. Will be interesting to know what our crowds have actually been recently as the stadium has looked far emptier than figures suggest
Don’t we have just shy of 8K ST holders? The people I’ve spoke to I’d be amazed if 50% renew next year. That will take one hell of a walk up to reach the IMG threshold.

Even if we had a 50% drop off it would still be bigger than those 2 clubs

Not excuses, just the fact of the matter.
But he didnt have to move Charles to full back. Simply move Briscoe to full back when Walker went off insted of all the positional changes Chamberlain is supposed to be a centre or as we now know a bang average jack of all trades but master of none

That’s exactly what he should have done. But he didn’t, and we had one half back. That was my point.
Jury’s out for Chamberlain. As a straight swap for Scott, it makes sense. He made a good try saving tackle yesterday, but aside that that he’s been very steady. Willing to give him time under Cartwright and as part of a newer squad.

Chamberlain is a centre, not played there once since he came back.
Should have played there yesterday with Lane in the backrow and Smith at hooker.
