What is the warm up for the comedy night, video's of some recent coach's press conference's and some match highlights.

I can more or less guarantee that the acts will not be as funny as "we don't need any players" and "we have money for new players".

On a serious point, well done to the club for trying something different.

Gaskell would fit in fine, but I guess he may want to work with Long and Pryce as a former Saints man.

I don't quite get all the club has no money stuff personally; IIRC the last VIQI payment for this year was over £100k, we must have at least 1500 Season Ticket holders and presumably we had budgeted for the wages of Johnson, Amor and Evans who are not here any more. I do stand to be corrected on that to be fair.

I would be more worried about 2024 as there will be no VIQI Money, the club supported VIP scheme doesn't seem to have got that much support and the current downturn in form will antagonise some not to renew their Season Ticket and further push away floating support.

The silence from the club regarding signings is deafening - at least they could say we would love to sign x,y,z but are not in a position to do that due to finance 

club communication is getting worse 

My feelings as a passionate Frenchy is to be open mate. If the club had a fans night, even once a month they could air the concerns to us all. No point been silent and then find out we are in financial troubles, when we can all work together. If the plans to cut wages this year and save for a big shot next year, and the comedy nights etc will raise extra income to buy better players, then we all  can understand more. In my opinion 2 big props and a good number 6 would give us a better chance of a playoff place. The club need to get fans on board and  even a monthly fans get together be good. 🥖🥖

 

spot on my next gig is the melting pot - see you there

@alanc maybe not been offered a contract for next season so he is looking at what is available, or we can’t afford to pay players wages and we are going into a deeper hole than we thought

Why would Twitter give a job to one of our full time players?

@sunny 🤣🤣🤣 ffs that's not even funny even if it was meant to be and as aside the fact he's on a full time deal and he's always fuckin injured is part of the problem.

Not sure what the big deal is.Craven not being offered a contract and retiring is for the best, both for him and the club.He's done.
