No Rob Butler. What was the point of signing him. Looks like Powell was right to get rid.


We have more than 17 players. That could apply to anyone not in the starting team.
If he didn't play Eseh you'd complain he didn't give him a chance.

Pitch just cost over 100,000 pounds, as said it should have been left for 16 week not 6


Is that just for the repairs?

Will it still be wasted money if a prop gets injured today?
I'd be happy for Butler to play based on his performances so far this season.

We shouldn’t have and didn’t need to spend £500K on an artificial pitch!

The old playing surface just needed some care and attention to bring it back to its best. The pipe dream that we’ll get significant revenue from renting the hybrid pitch out just doesn’t wash with me. We won’t get enough to justify half a million pounds and what we do get could’ve been handled by the old pitch had it been properly maintained.

Some of that money could have gone on 2 or 3 quality replacements for those who left last season.
Take Atonis wage and top it up sufficiently to get a quality front rower, do the same with with Smith/Torfuas wage and get a quality half back and a hooker. Then offer Batchelor enough to change his decision to leave.
That wouldn’t have used more than £200k/£250k leaving £300k or so still in the coffers.

None of that deflects from the stadium build which is rightly our top priority.
It’s not a black and white either or situation with the clubs finances, why do people talk in such absolutes?
A bit of foresight and some manipulation of what’s available and we could at least have been competitive while still building the new stand and doing other refurbishments


Wrong again.
Firstly, its not an artificial pitch.
Secondly, it didn't cost £500k
Thirdly, the "old" pitch was f*cked according to the groundsman.
.....And I'd rather take his word for it than yours.
Cheers

OK, Hybrid pitch (pedantic)
It was widely quoted as costing £500k
The old pitch was in poor condition due to lack of care over a few years and just needed some investment in it to return it to its best and it wouldn’t have cost anywhere near £500k
That is also from Steve Dutton and I’ll take his unfettered word over the party line you quote him saying
You’re welcome
