I also think that we actually over achieved the last couple of year and it would have been far more beneficial to have stayed down for at least another year. It really placed unrealistic expectations on the team from all of us.
+100 there Diehard.
I can say it now....but I've mainly kept my big yap shut and not said anything....but back in 2016 when we were racking up the wins....I thought to myself.. "we're rising up too quickly.........we need to stay down for another year or two".
I never repeated my thoughts as the idea of being called an unloyal D***head didn't appeal.
But you can't stop winning and as the club had no margin for error IMO from the start of 2015(re engaging members........increasing membership....getting sponsors on board) we just had to keep winning/rising.
All of the above has increased year on year since the spoon.....imagine if we were anchored near the bottom of the ladder for a couple more years after 2014.....the above probably wouldn't have happened.
What an absolute dilemma !!!!!!!!!
And yes.......2015/16 IMO placed unrealistic expectations on the team.
A few of my more wiser pals said towards the end of last season that we're just an ordinary team......so far their right.
