| People should have the freedom to post their concerns of course. My reaction was over the top but borne out of frustration with some fans. Of course the club has made mistakes and as fans we have the right to criticise but we often forget that the people running the club do so on a voluntary basis. It's not the professional set up you see at some clubs, it's not the best well oiled machine but the people there are putting in 100% to make sure we can finish in second or appear in a GF and indeed remain competitive. The job they've done in bringing top class players to this club is nothing short of outstanding.
I half expect to read soon that someone like Michael Steele will just chuck in the towel. Maybe that's why he's gone on his cruise!

| Cheers Sharky me old mucker for the support above. I really wonder sometimes why I still come on here
Apology accepted LR - Maybe we should arrange for memebers on here to meet up and have a drink together maybe that way there would be less personal stuff branded about.

| i like ya point that this is a fans board and fans are therefore entiled to an opnion
however other fans are therfore entitled to challenge the opnion based on there opinion may not be the same
Opionion should not be mistaken for fact!
In my opinion, achieving second this year has been a good "season" now for the play offs and that 100k prize for our club

| If they won the Grand final, then a portion would go to the players, but not all of it. Maybe £50,000 would be split between them. Depends if some of them have clauses that determine a certain bonus for appearing or winning a grand final.

| Quote: Waddy-Fax "Makes me laugh this board, if you dare to criticise and question just ever so slightly anything to do with fax your not a "true" fan and get hoarded to death in a heard or sheep like mentality. I know Chris Smith and see him every game home and away wearing his Fax shirt, trust me he is a better or more worthy or true fan then a lot on here, so what he questions certain things at the club, its a fans right and the reason for doing so is simple, he like all of us wants to see the club do well or better and just cos we finished 2nd doesn't mean we are the finished article or we can rest on our laurels (spelling), the club has made some massive mistakes this year that have grabbed headlines and cost the club tens of thousands of pounds in lost income which I'd hazard a guess will have ripple affects into next season, I'd say fans have every right to question things as long as they go about it in an orderly fashion which Mr Smith does, I see him before and after in the south stand sweat box lounge, he mingles with the players etc, he's not your usual full of poop fan yet the old fax board heard mentality kicks in at his every post, as a person if your not asked questions of how will you improve, you won't, same goes for the club.
Its been a brilliant season that I enjoyed more then last season, I think we have done well, do I think we could have done better on and off the field, yes, of course, is that so wrong, no, but I guess it makes me a lesser fan then some on here for thinking that.'"
Agree wi that. I have backed the club for many many years. However, just because I do not have a great opinion of Matt Calland as a coach and feel often the skills of the players often get us wins rather than our tactics etc then I am "Negative" or one of the "Boo Boys"! I do not feel Calland is a quality coach. He has had 3 years and I have not been overly impressed with our tactics, defence or what he says after matches. Barry Eaton apoligized for his teams performance on Sunday and took the blame himself. I never get the feeling Calland would do that and would rather look elsewhere for the blame. I hope he can prove me wrong and win something. Just because you have a different or not a high opinion of a Coach or Player does not mean you are not a Fan of this wonderful club.

Careful now. You dont want to be facing the roth of TF2, MM and Little Rich.
I feel that this actually is a really good message board. Not everyone is going to get on but if everyone acts like a sheep or its used as a propaganda machine for the club then it would die a slow death. On the whole the board is run very well by the Mods and they do a good job apart from the odd occasion they have been over zelous.
