A couple of days ago there were comments such as "the lowest point in 100 odd years". Now, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and all is good.

It's called differing opinions. You should know anyway, i've seen you on the VT. Now that is a mixed bag of lost souls!!

LOL. We don't have a vast army of supporters, but we do have 1000+ who are die-hard, through and through blue 'n' white supporters of the Fax.

Of those, only a few (less than 5%) choose to contribute on this forum.

Why relevant? Well, any comments about "lowest points" etc. are (imo) the view of a really small portion of the fax supporter's fraternity.

For me, I'm looking forward to 2015 with far more hope and expectation than for many a year.

Having read the attatched article it sounds good news, well done.

I wonder what gates the board are budgeting on this coming season as i understand they fell well short of last season's targets. The reason i mention this point is because there's a quote in there about new non-renewable season ticket sales, which is obviously pointing in the right direction i agree, but unless they're new to the club then that surely takes away from a walk-up & pay at the gate sale. Yes, the money is now in the club account but if that sale fails to turn up for fixtures there is a potential to lose programme/cashfax etc etc sales on the day.
No mention in the article of how much the club shop lost last year, as i understand it was quite a substantial hit if what i was told is correct.

Pointing in the right direction though, that's great news.

Great to hear that sales and therefore interest is looking higher than recent years, we have seen similar figures at Leigh, ultimatley you would have to put this down to the restructure, lets just hope the VT doommongers are wrong and we see some ups and downs

All the best for 2015
