New contract for darts coverage. Guessing that this will add to the conversation on how much darts is valued. To quote the article Darts is now Sky’s biggest sport outside of football by viewing figures. The previous PDC World Darts Championship final between. Luke Littler and Luke Humphries saw a 150% increase in the TV audience, compared to the final before (between Michael Smith and Michael van Gerwen).

Happy with that, will add a bit of size to the middles.

The tickets are available to buy on the club website. Also advertised on twitter.

I like that.

Just looking at the confirmed squad, we have 19 confirmed with GG, Minikin and Springer that have yet to be confirmed but previously thought to have signed for next season. Additionally we have 5 from last season not announced, and 2 rumour mill 'signings' not yet announced. We still have some way to go until we have a full squad confirmed, I guess we will need somewhere around 26 or 27 players unless we plan on using DR.

As it didn't mention Hatton I took that as being they weren't sure which order they would be announced in. That is how I took that statement.

That's a very good signing, if Minikin does retire this is a perfect replacement.

So what are the facts? I am not critisising the club on the way it's run, the new plans for the club should fill us all with optimism that one day we may see top level rugby again at POR. I think the new development, when completed, will look really good and the ground will be first class, and everything seems on a sound financial footing. But this is a forum where it is perfectly acceptable to hold a different opinion to other people, and to be able to voice that opinion. My opinion is only around how the club communicates new signings to the fans. And the only gripe is setting expectations and then not meeting them. Mine too, just depends which subject people are whinging about Anyway, back to the squad... things are looking good, we have made some really good signings and I am sure that next season should be better than last, can't wait.

We are obviously 2 sides of a coin.... my problem with the club is saying you are going to do something, then not doing it. If you put on a poster that you are going to reveal next years kit, do that, or don't advertise you are doing it. You have a point with some of the announcements, and producing write ups and social media video's, but some of these will have been signed months ago, so why leave everything to the last minute. It's not as if we don't do the same thing, every single year, we seem to think that drip feeding new signings will all of a sudden make people buy ST's who normally wouldn't. I think the new signing have been really good, and certainly has me looking forward to next season, and will look forward to attending every match I am able to get to, or at least every home match.

There hasn't been anything on twitter/x since Sunday, since I don't use FB I am depending on you guys to keep me up to date.

People are frustrated, the club just don't seem to want to communicate anything to the fans. It's right to say it doesn't make any difference to the players who start the season, but there could be fans that feel if the club can't communicate why should I commit to a season ticket. I am sure there are lots of fans who if they are served up some of the dross we had last year will pick and choose which games they attend, when announcing the signings would no doubt bring optimism for next season.

No updates since Sunday, very poor from the club.

The people who buy a season ticket at full price (£270 for 12 games) will be paying £22.50 a game, there is no way that the club will go below that. In my eyes it looks like £25 per game, and I am okay with that as I am sure I will miss some games.

I have a feeling that match day tickets will be £25 this season. With season tickets at £270 (£240 early bird) and concessions £220 (£170 early bird) they are not going to stay at £20. I really don't have a problem with £25 as I know there are five or six weekends when I won't be able to come so I will miss some games. Ticket prices will be higher than a lot of SL clubs, as will a lot of championship clubs, but if it puts a decent team on the field I have no issue.

My guess was it was to get more people to go to the fireworks event, like you I don't know why they come out with claims that they then don't follow through with. Bit of a shambles really, about time they let us know about this 'exciting squad'.

it's obvious.... coming soon.

New announcements on players, partnerships and ST's starting Monday.

Wonder if we will get any player announcements today, at or after the firework event. The new kit is due to be revealed at the event too.

Think it would be nice if they announce some.

The website has changed, so they were obviously re-designing it hence they haven't kept the old one up to date. So maybe things are going on in the background we are unaware of.

No Eden so Reynolds at full back and Addy at stand off, Arnold starts.
