Certainly true in many ways.
Also shows the way forward to an extent. Nobody makes money from the sport, so either the sport changes to a model that enables the clubs to generate cash, the RFU start funding the clubs themselves, the sport cuts its cloth according to its means, or we find the same sort of people willing to sink in cash as they do at Sarries et al. We could be a good prospect.
We need good relationships with Cov RFC, that is essential.
The CCFC are going to do their thing. If it ends up in more litigation, then we won't win the info war with the casuals as described on the article. For some CCFC fans, it is like arguing with 5G causes Covid types, nothing will change their mind as to their entitlement to the stadium they bizzarely dud not end up owning.
Others might be more circumspect, but they won't turn up. We need to offer a fun family day out, and attract all those who don't go to CCFC. There will be some CCFC sports fans who might enjoy us, but only with a better product.
On the playing front, and I know I sound like a broken record, but nobody expects fans to pay for an unexciting product. Watching weekly ten to fifteen phases of bosh on their line whilst our backs hang around like wet farts on a Christmas tree for half the game is not going to bring back the crowds. Losing 36-35, as long as next week we win, will. No pound shop Tigers, no aerial tennis fests. Those things are part of a rounded game plan, they are not a game plan in themselves that will work for us. There are two points available weekly for tries and losing bonus. You can literally get 48 points without winning a match.
