Instead of moaning on a stupid message board maybe go to one of the Fan Forums and put your point across in a constructive manner there. This is a message board that is used by very few fans who hide behind a name. Put your point across here if you want but realistically few people will read it.

It's "only" a forum, and I'm probably being a troglodyte, but it does jar my senses when folk can't write. "we are allowed to put are points across" ... "our points", please... etc.
Time for me to get  down...

| There has to be an element of realism as to where we are at as a club and also the game as a whole.
The Fax Board have gone down the right road in my eyes by not going for boom or bust as we simply haven't got the finacial clout.
With limited revenue stream at the home games in gate money and East stand corporate it's tough to see how we can compete with the big boys.
We all want to see us top of the league and pushing for SL but that's easier said than done with our current fan base and lack of a major sponsor.
It's easy to criticise but we need to look at the bigger picture and be grateful for the BOD's support both financially and otherwise plus the financial support from any of the players or club sponsors. Without them we could be talking on the Championship 1 forum debating how we stood in a 200 large crowd away at Gloucestershire!!!!!(no offence to them)
We are not far off and with 3-4 quality players added next season we will be up there again.

| any sponsor is a good sponsor for the club.
having to play these games until the end of the season is not the clubs fault. the RFL thought up crackpot idea. promotion needs to be brought back for the good of the game.

Don't think anybody thought it a crackpot idea last season, but I do agree that there is very little to play for in the doldrums 8's.

| Please correct me if I am wrong ( I probably will be ) !
Remembering the mid nineties and our re emergence as a force in S L, we had crowds of 4/5000 regularly and some 'big name'sponsors, then a bloke from Fax went to Red Hall, and ever since we have been on a downward spiral with the exception of a few blips. We should have been given a place back in S L as we had better facilities and structure than several clubs at that time who kept their licence.
What or how did we upset this man ( some call him the fat controller) as it seems he has kept us out of the top tier of R L, which in turn has seen us with ( no disrespect intended) average players and lesser sponsors than we might have had given the exposure SL enjoys.
Let's face it our face does not and has not fit at Red Hall for a long time and it seems that in certain quarters we are an embarrassment
On a final point I am sure the players do not get up Sunday morning and say to themselves " I will settle for losing pay today" ? Although they have to take the brunt of the blame as they are unpredictable, it can tbeR M 'sfault all the time as I am sure he does not change basic tactics or game plans weekly, although he does need to settle on his best 17 and not sentiment for all games, it seems more knowledgable people than me say we have let players leave that should have been wearing the shirt more regularly and if that happened they may have stayed at Fax. Living away from home I can only read and assimilate what is written on the various platforms and make my judgement from that. (my last live game was against widnes last year in the 8's, so I have seen in the flesh quite recently).
Thank you for reading my comments and welcome constructive replies. Real name can be found if you search my profile!!!
