Nor me, I thought the whole idea was that they were the Man Utd of rugby, or at least were going to be
No idea
Bright Enobhakare seems an odd choice then
Not sure who people were expecting. Moore and Waghorn I think are two decent signings that will bring maturity and experience to a young side. Bright is either going to be a stroke of genius or a disaster but given his clear love of the club and the fact that Robins got the best out of him last time it’s every chance he’s going to be a stroke of genius. Viktor I’m really excited about personally, I think we only scratched the surface with him last season on what he’s capable of and could well be a big player for us this season. Couple that with a couple of decent prospects, the fact that we’ve held onto our better player’s, hopefully Tyler Walker has now fully recovered from his Covid issues and can give us more, might see another permanent or two yet, bound to get a couple of premier league prospects in on loan etc and like I say. It’s not been awful.
Same.I think Gyo is a better signing than Bright tbh
They aren’t as they are entering an area with zero support so it’s a totally different situation

Not really, he’s made no bones about Bright needing to prove himself, he hasn’t exactly gushed over what he’s going to do for us

I think BSB’s joke has gone right over your head
You have missed the punchline
It’s not though is it. It’s the same aim. JFC you are thick.
Season tickets were perhaps a little low. But season ticket holders are being rewarded for committing their cash early.Did the club get the season ticket pricing wrong? It was probably a big dilemma where exactly to set the price for season tickets, but in comparison to the announced new matchday prices, the season ticket price seems to have been cheaper than necessary. Given by definitinition season ticket holders are the most invested in the club and considered the most loyal, selling their tickets at £375 might have been financially counterproductive, as the majority of season ticket holders would probably still have brought tickets at a higher price.
If the average matchday price for next season is £25, a reasonable level for season ticket holders would arguably be £20 per match, providing a season ticket price therefore of £460, but a saving still of over £100 on paying match by match. The club might have wanted to be seen to show some kind of reward to those that stuck by them the last few seasons I guess, but in doing so this might have cost themselves up to £800k in the process if my back of a fag packet maths are correct, money that might have provided a few more options for MR in the transfer market.
As another aside I don't understand why the club don't announce season ticket prices and matchday prices simultaneously, because I suspect if marketed well the take up on season tickets might have been even greater than it has been already.
I don't think Samo is saying that the budget needs to be busted, it's entirely within the owners' gift to expand the budget or not. They choose not to. I agree with him that a marquee signing would be nice.
I don't think our club has ever done enough on this.
I would want them to marketing really aggressively and doing all they can to improve the match day experience.
