Not just the ticket issues. When you have not made a financial commitment to go to a game there are so many other things to sway your decision. Bad weather, Cash flow, Game on sky, Poor form to name a few examples. Results make a big difference and would go a long way to help improve crowds, but we saw last year that the league as a whole has become much more competitive week to week so the chances of stringing together a good run of results is a much harder task.

I do agree with your point about the lost confidence. I suppose the issue here is who would be the right person to bring in and at what point would the trigger get pulled?

We could throw names around all day of who we'd like to bring in, we've all got a wish list with Darryl Powell somewhere near the top.

When does the trigger get pulled? It needs to be fairly early IMO due to the favourable start to the fixtures we have - if performances are still poor and we're not picking up points.

I put earlier in the thread Easter Monday. That'd be 8 games in. The first 8 games are:
- Salford (H)
- Catalans (A)
- Cas (H)
- Wigan (H)
- Widnes (A)
- Wakefield (H)
- Rovers (A)
- Warrington (H)

For me he has until then at least.

Fair comment and what would be the Stay / Sack points return everyone would go with?
For me I would want 10 points.

On a thread a while ago I said that a minimum of 5 win from the first 8 would be necessary to protect Radfords position. Being realistic we don't have the best record against Wigan and going to Catalans is not the easiest.

Now, this is not me being bullish to say we WILL win the other games, but of the other 6 matches we have to look for a min of 10 points.

As a neutral I think you'll get 10-12. Anything below 8, barring a disastrous run of injuries, would suggest Radford's probably gone as far as he can. But I doubt that'll happen.
