    I mean, what could have made you think we had a future any other way?

    I am asking seriously, does anyone else have some other idea for how we survive this without something like City sports group coming in and buying us? I just don't think the product itself is doing well enough for a local millionaire to walk in and prop us up for a few years.

    You nailed it. The product has been run into the ground. Even when the current bill payers were adding to our squad they were adding just numbers with no real quality to give our on field efforts a fighting chance.

    I think we can still appeal to somebody. Show them those glory years, squadron bouncing, crowds bigger than the knights, even the tinkler false start.
    Give us some faith that we have repeatedly shown and the fans will come back. Treat us and the club and the community with respect and you get 10k easy.

    And whole heartedly agree. The remaining games should be spent blooding the future or determining who to axe.

    Season 2 was really big for crowds. Over 19000 we have had:

    Note the ground was still with the old stand at this point:
    * S2 Rd18 v SFC (20980)
    * S2 Rd21 v Victory (19601)
    * S2 Semi v SFC (24338)
    * S3 Semy v CCM (22960)
    * S8 Rd 27 v WWS (22518) when they won the premiership
    * S13 Semi v City (19131)

    Is that it for big crowds? Geezus really proves the point, Most of Newcastle will only support us when winning. We really need to be talking to the Knights on how the keep their crowds and members around

    Yes for "big home crowds that aren't a Grand Final" but remember the Season 2 and 3 numbers were near capacity - we only had the old western stand at that point, not the new Western one.

    I vividly remember we played around the same time as them, and our crowd was bigger.
    FWIW, they were in the middle of their wooden spoon attempts...
