The way he says even better new in terms of finalising our squad makes my ears prick up, I hope this is not just getting my hopes up.

I suppose this video is a complement to the letter headed "YOU DESERVE BETTER" which has arrived in members' letter boxes this week.
You bet we deserve better.
- Better value for money, both in the venue's facilities and in the standard of rugby played.
- Less off-handed dismissals from the membership people when queried about something (like WTF are my membership cards, when we are 2 games into the season).
- Less flippant "I see no problem" responses from the CEO when it is pointed out that he has lost his coach and his captain in the one season, and that he has taken forever to get a new coach.
- A team and a management that we can believe it.
Am I convinced to shell out another 2K for the 2013 season?
Not yet. I don't know if I will ever trust this mob again.
So what would convince you if a cleanout and a new direction haven't?

And the changes to the board are (excepting Uncle Vern, of course)?

None. At least not til the next Board AGM I guess.

Some of the Board are elected whilst others are appointed by the Board because they bring specialist expertise to the table.
Yeah. There are some spots for appointments. Sharpie and Spanner ferinstance. Don't know the full make up.

They are making all the right noises and there has been some concentrated and intelligent buying and not only in the back room. They are also factoring the concerns of the fans and keeping us involved.
I really feel more confident about next year than any previously.
GO THE FORCE!
