Quote ="El Diablo"Now, I was as disappointed as the next man by what happened tonight, and I want to extend credit to Hudds for the long-term project they've been embarked on for some time to build a very good side. But are you really going to grumble over what our revenue has done in terms of our relative performances over the last 10 years? This season so far is not going well, and theirs is going brilliantly, but that's a bit much.'"
Indeed. Classic knee jerk.
The last ten years includes 2004, 2007, 2008, 2009. What did those years bring for the Gnats?
Maybe they've built a competitive side just as our Great side is coming to the end of it's natural cycle. Note, the Gnats have built a competitive side, not a good or great one yet. Winning your first game at Headingley in 50 odd years doesn't make you great. Winning a few pots does that.
