Ashley is smoking something or just has his head in the sand if he believes that the average Eels fan wouldn't take Hayne back in a heartbeat.
For a million you may get less people enthusiastic but for the 500 or 600 mark a large majority who support the team will remember the good he did for us and will live in hope that he can regain that magic.
There are the Eels fans on here who are more involved in the fandom who have very strong opinions one way or another and then there are the people who just support the club when the game is on and don't give it much thought outside of that.
We see the first lot of fans so if you come here to gauge how the fandom would react then there are plenty who wouldn't want him back.
Also, if BA wants him and signs him then i will have to go with him on that because us fans have f**k all idea on his impact to the team and if the coach who coached him to his last Dally M medal thinks he can work with him then who is anyone to argue?
Sure, have an opinion but don't state your opinion like it is fact.
