Interesting article in League Express this week, something I've always felt some Super League chairmen let the game down badky governing SL, self importance & own club interest, A suggestion from a consultant should we come together with the NRL, they seem to get the game right,

As I said some clubs seem happy just holding onto attendance figuresk thiygh under 10,000? from a Metropolitan area like St Helens, population of 177,200, does their attendance really reflect the council tax payers any longer & council support, We are going backwards. When you look at those who head our Ganesh their is no get up and go, it now seems survival, which I worry about.

I'm probably being typically ignorant here, but what does that mean?

Makes a bit more sense now. I was thinking, "Hindu god, head of an elephant etc." Sincere apologies to any theists out there, but I'm not that up on religious stuff.

So I googled Ganesh. According to Wikipedia, "he is the remover of obstacles; the patron of arts and sciences; and the deva of intellect and wisdom".

A bit like Maurice Lindsay then.

There is not much effort towards families by the club these days.

Disagree, the club are making an exceptional effort in fleecing families - £86 for 2 adults and 2 kids to attend a match.

The Reality is that Einstein had a very good point. If you repeat the same process and expect a differing outcome, then you're pretty much insane.
Since the modern inception of the Club, as in the SL era, with a handful (like Jeremy Beadles size handful) of exceptions, the club has danced around the single issue that it needed to address in terms of becoming anything other than a drain on a benefactors bank account.
You guys can debate the pros and cons of the current Commercial set up and the obvious conflict of interests. You can go over the David Hughes is killing us whilst keeping us alive debate and you can blindly and (see Einstein above) insanely expect anything other than more of the same from the club once they get their feet under the table in Wimbledon.
It matters not what we play. It matters less what we are called. The club badge or the club web address are insignificant and who manufactures the replica kit that hardly sells is of even less significance......if you don't invite customers in, then you'll never make a sale.
For those of you with a "comprehension filter" who find understanding this troublesome, here's a diagram that clearly shows the "efforts' made by the club over the last 25 years to find their place in this crowded sports market whilst ignoring the one thing they should have done!

I don't think there is much evidence Einstein said the insanity thing but I get your point.

I'm trying to be fair, but that diagram doesn't clearly show anything.
