Think he's just calling it as it is. At the end of the day if supporters don't turn up then the quality of the team falls. It's a never ending spiral. In the end if we can only muster 1,400 as a club then we'll get the team that fits that attendance. But then if the team plays naff it will get the attendance that style of rugby deserves.

The only exception I would point to is our own example. GF winners 2010. NRC Winners 2012. And here wee are struggling for crowds. Even Leigh are still hovering the 2,500 mark with their fantastic season. It's difficult.

Re: Probiz part 1 : Sun Sep 07, 2014 5:24 pm  

I think the problem now with Leigh is that there fans almost just expect to win 40 or 50 points week in week out which can get boring I think but then again it's not a big problem is it

What did everyone expect our b.o.d. to do ? Just continue to lose monies without reacting to the problems ? At least they've done something. The info i have is that this bloke is on low commission based on high income streams from new & not existing clients. Give him a go, keep his hands firmly where they should be & if he fails to deliver, get shot. A bit like coaching or playing really, cogs, wheels etc etc. If mr Poskitt would like my phone No for any sort of advice, or just a chat he can get it from a couple of the b.o.d. at Fax who have it, Sarah in the office or PM me on here as i understand he picks up on comments from online forums. Oh, and just so that anyone knows, i work for free, no commission, no expenses, no winning or losing pay/bonuses involved. If there's any funny business, i'm gonna organise HalifaxJohn & RotherhamFevfan to sit on him at HT at a match next season as part of the entertainment package. We could take bets & put it into the club funds to see how long he lasts beneath those two rotund chaps, if he's still at Fax next season of course.
Happy days are here again......

Colin, you under estimate Faxfit, I used to sit on people now I clean and press them.
In fact I could clean and press him with Robin sitting on him.

So the moral of this story appears to be that we throw all cheques on the floor and see how much they bounce.
Only time will tell if this is a good move but I'm sure that a large number of people will be keeping very close eyes on any announcements from Mr Poskitt.

Also what exactly is wrong with this Poskitt chap?

You need to look at why Cas Tigers got rid.

They never officially announced a reason why he left. There was plenty of chatter around the WF postcodes as to the reason why, which I wouldn't dream of disclosing on a public forum, especially as the slimy toad will be all over this forum (and your facetube page) like a cheap suit.

I do think it's a great shame when discussing an individual what ever a persons opinion, that we stoop to this name calling particularly of this nature.
If "chatter" can't be disclosed on a public forum then most of us would doubt it's content.
For us he's here lets see how it runs.
For the others he's gone, get over it.
Simply my opinion no disrespect intended to anyone.

Your club had dealings with Probiz and Cas had dealings with Probiz and CP When Fev employed CP a lot of Cas fans told us it would all end bad We then got Probiz as a sponsor who CP brought to our club. There was endless people on social media from Cas and Fax telling us we had made a big mistake but a lot of us didn't believe you as it happened you were all right and luckily we achieved second this year so that will help the club with the liabilities that was left at the club As a person I found CP approachable he seemed very switched on and came across as a person doing well for the club. There is no secret that things have not been done well and standing in front of 2000 fans passing a cheque over for £60 000 to the volunteers from his mate at Probiz then it bouncing is not what I would expect from a CEO of the club I also would not of expected him to pack in the day after Probiz pull out if he was doing so well.

I hope he does well for you don't know how long he had got to bring £500 000 into you club but if he generated £250 000 and Probiz offer £250 000 with conditions has he achieved his goal
