    So how much more are you willing to pay to allow us to be a 'little bit more active', Bill?

    [QUOTE=Hazza Has A Gazza;39119355]Ben Pringle was correct in saying, on his departure, that Rotherham don't have a plan.
    It was disputed at the time, but it's clear now that we don't actually have a plan. Last season's excellent turnaround and promotion was not planned, it was a brilliant accident.
    Now we're winging it in this division again as we always do, without a plan.

    i Simply disagree with this Hazza. Since our last Championship debacle we have invested in our training facilities, changed our recruitment philosophy as well as our capability and created a player ethos befitting the values i can embrace as a RUFC fan. we don't do superstars and search for young hungry players. The fortuitous part is taking a punt on Warne which has paid off big time. Our recruitment is sensible for a club like Rovrum. I may even concede that if we do stay up this season we may need to develop our approach and be a little braver. thus is dependant on achieving the first aim. But riding rough shod over the very thing that has got us this far is the worst thing we can do. We have a plan - its maybe not very exciting but its a plan, lest stick to it and trust the people who created it.

    It’s difficult for us to judge because we will never have the full picture on our finances. That is because clubs will always be very cagey about what they say about finances in the public domain because it has an impact on negotiations and how transfer targets perceive us.

    Less than 8,000 home fans today, hard to throw championship money at a 1st division supported club.

    Spot on fella with that comment, however, 'IF' TS spent that little extra that we don't appear to have this season, then the game and wins would improve and maybe just maybe the gates would increase.

    It would have to be considerably more than a little extra Brin and would still be a mighty big maybe.

    Just how many more fans do you people think we can get through the turnstiles. We've had a freeze on season ticket prices for the last few years, match day prices haven't increased by all that much, theres been promotions and relegations but the average crowd has remained around the same so what more as a club can we do to increase revenue to pay the wages average players are demanding these days.

    Maybe we've just hit our limit a regards attracting more through the turnstiles
