Town Army Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 2 hours ago, town2018 said: People on here really need to realise what a forum is all about people are coming on here and posting there views and thoughts on the club etc and getting slated for doing so no one on here can say they are happy with the squad we have so far we have potentially lost one off the biggest sponsors off recent years and no answers as to why. It really looks like the club have some serious questions to be asked You're right in that a forum is a place for people to post their opinions and everyone has a right to do that, but it is also a place where people can come, give themselves whatever username they want and write whatever nonsense they want without any proof or evidence behind it (I'm not accusing you of that by the way) Why should the club have to justify themselves every time somebody asks a question, raises a concern or shares a rumour they've heard from somewhere? With regards to the sponsorship I've heard that McDonald's were in talks but things stalled due to their demands, wanting Ronald Mcdonald to be our new mascot and their employee of the month to start on the wing for Town in the following league game was a bit to much to ask ...... I demand someone from the club comes out and makes a statement on this immediately! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillmeister80 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Taking stock of where we are. I think everyone accepts that we’re a few players short of where we would all like the squad to be but the clubs got a good bunch of lads already recruited and training well under a high quality coach. The clubs board reshuffle is imminent. It seems that the club have some excellent people wanting to join the board and take us forward. Once that’s done I expect that further recruitment will follow. Myers and Bowmans sponsorship was fantastic but as with all main sponsors they only usually last two/three seasons as that achieves the desired commercial impact We’ve over two months until our first game of the season takes place let’s keep the positivity and enjoy the ride as this year ahead of schedule we get to see our team face some fantastic players and teams hopefully some great crowds too up the town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

townie88 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Not sure why there is so much negatively about the club from certain people. We've just been promoted for christ sake (a year sooner than planned also). Retained majority of the squad that got us here and signed a handful of lads to replace the ones that left who've already played championship rugby. And captured one of the amateur games best stars. Everyone can have an opinion either way, and people can challenge that opinion also. But to constantly have a negative opinion of the club does raise some questions wether people are genuine fans or just on to stir things up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wouldnt they align signing announcements to their own benefit? Its unfair to compare our situation to other champ clubs. All have known for far longer where they will be playing, what budget they will have and also many have full time/part time staff, far outnumbering our volunteers.

That would give them a distinct advantage in squad retention and additions. I don’t think the club got a great deal of benefit, other than goodwill, when they provided webcasts throughout 2020. I don’t think any sporting club would profess to be perfect with liaising with fans but we are certainly a lot better than we used to be. I’m still paying money out to the 200 club and 1945 club because I want to try and support the club become as successful as it can be, not because I want every last bit of information. When there is information and news to release we get told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I just paid for my season ticket . It’s no secret it’s gonna be extremely tough , but I’m really looking forward to this season just to see the big step up in quality , the players we’ll see and how our guys handle it . This is where you wanna be , I just hope we can get enough strength and depth together to stay there . Crowds were really encouraging this year so hopefully we build on that and get good numbers down to see the ride ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I’ve missed it I still haven’t seen any announcement about how much the Sky money has been cut. Stand to be corrected if it has been announced.

The Voodooguru Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 What if we have some season long loans from SL clubs agreed in principle, but as they aren't our players we can't announce it and they aren't training up here yet, or we are bringing in somebody from abroad and are waiting for paperwork? I don't know this to be true but things may not be as straightforward as some want. I would be surprised if Chris doesn't have his ducks lining up as he wants them. I seem to remember back to some people panicking last year. But who knows... The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet!
