Scotland and the true cost

[ldnfatso]

Now is the time to prove the Scotland trip wasn't a waste of both club and Trust's money. The money donated was in the hope that we had a decent start to the season and would help throughout the campaign. I admittedly was against the idea and thought it was a waste of money. Now's the time to prove me wrong, i hope i was wrong and if it turns out that way i will hold my hands up and admit it. If however the season dosn't turn out how we are being led to believe, i hope those who were so pro-Scotland will have the balls to say they were wrong and it was a waste of time and money!

I'm not sure it can be quantified that easily?

If the tour was a success, it wouldnt guarantee a successful season - it will help, but there are a myriad of other factors (and luck) that need to combine for us to have success.

Likewise, it could have been a big fat waste of time and we win the league.

Dont see how the 2 are linked - or at least how you can link them. I think the fact that the players all seem to say that moral and spirit is great behind the scenes is enough to know it at least wasnt a complete waste.

In which case they should have gone to Norfolk and it been a lot cheaper!

At least we won't be fouling much then.

I thought the purpose of the trip was to help the players bond. I didn't realise it was to ensure a successful season.

Terrible waste, the £10,000 could've been used to pay somebody to tally up the 2010 deadpool! :whistling:

Surely the time to prove this was about three weeks before it happened, not now.

How would Norfolk be much cheaper then Scotland?

immeasurable and intangible

They could have stayed with me :winking: rent up front mind, they wouldn't have got it on credit
