You have to take your hat off to the knights fans. After a couple of really crap years, they still turn up and support their team. Through thick and thin their crowds are of a good average.
A group of Newcastle businessmen have put forward a proposal for the Knights to become community-owned by raising at least $15 million in a share offering in the NRL club.
The plan was made public on Saturday under the banner 'Our Knights One Chance' with the chief ambition for the embattled club to follow in the footsteps of the NFL's Green Bay Packers and be owned by local fans.
The Knights have been in the hands of the NRL since 2014 when former mining magnate Nathan Tinkler relinquished his three-year ownership of the club.
The NRL last month announced it had rejected all bids to buy the Knights, who have struggled both on and off the field in recent times and collected this season's wooden spoon after winning just one game.
