Happy Christmas to you all lads.
This last season actually broke me (and a lot of others that I've been going to games with for years) and to say I'm hesitant about this year would be an understatement. Out of the many many years I've been going to games, there was one point this season in Thomond Park where I just looked around and thought, I can't justify paying money to come in to this! There is so much uncertainty about the new ground, the squad and such little buzz about the place that I really couldn't blame a lot of people staying away until they see something to be excited about. The above squad is not it!
Have heard we are talking to a few from last years squad (Oji, Hughes, Tracy ...etc.) and that Patterson is/ was miles away in terms of agreeing money because of how much he'd want for moving down (and the difference in Sterling and Euro currency too)
All in all, I'm hopeful a few deals will be pushed through in the next week, because even trying to attract other players using the current squad is difficult to say the least! We need one marquee signing to start pulling others back in, and Oji would be top of my wishlist too. Here's to renewed optimism and a relatively successful 2015
