It's all been a big let down really   I thought we would be going for it big time after the near miss but it seems to me that we are actually worse off, in terms of playing staff, than we were this time last year.

I suspect we may have been conned and something fishy, pardon the pun, is going on  

I hope I'm wrong but where is all this "investment" going on the back of huge price increases  

In the last year we have added FF, Bannan, Hooper & Fletcher. I would say that makes us better off. It was the first seven matches that cost us last season & we will do better this season.
