| Get used to it. It will get worse. It would take David Copperfield to pull this rabbit out of the hat! Too little too late from the owners. I didn't last as long as many on here, I called it a draw 2 years ago. I only come on here occasionally somewhat out of habit. It can be depressing. Best of luck to those still sticking with it and hope it turns around eventually.
My heart just isn't in it anymore and I barely can be bothered watching Superleague any more and I have a subscription! How sad is that?

| But definitely something very wrong.Full time..so called excellent coach..but still make so many schoolboy errors match after match.Couldn't care about players out through injury or other excuses, we should at least have given ourselves a chance by getting the basics right.If we blame youth and inexperience,I still feel that they are very much coachable in a full time environment.I know people will also say that it's been men v boys, well maybe we were lacking brawn, but surely we could have shown more courage and play to a plan..but again, no.I have no faith in the present setup of the Club and can't think that in a lower division, the present management will fair any better.

| Not OUR team any more. Players that come in for a couple of weeks and then go, owners that live 12,000 miles away. I used to support a rugby team not some political pawn in a game that I don't know or understand or care about.

| Well said Rugbyred it seems we have been played as pawns and I like you are becoming tired of being treated as an after thought in an RFL grand conspiracy, that leads who knows where.

| Ditto to all the above.
Since we are relegated anyway, I rarely even listen to an away match on BCB now
The season is well and truly over - I cant remember a previous season when I didnt watch/listen to every single game right up till the last one.
This year has been such an anti-climax
The only consistent thing about our club is that we are the proverbial "lead weight" of the leagues - we just keep plummeting

| Probably not. LE on Twitter were carping on about 2 major updates on the future of the club and my first reaction was 'Meh!'
On a positive (or possibly more cynical not) it's nice to see the darlings of the RFL aren't having it easy in their promotion march.

Front page said our 'Chairman was staying' then the article is all about Andrew Chalmers. Says it all about how anonymous our actual chairman is when the RL rags don't even know who is who.

I saw that too. Hopeless journalism.
The bigger question was "Was Chalmers future ever in doubt?" If so WTF? He's meant to be the owner. Was he considering walking away? I think that's a question for the forum.

| It's worse than merely losing interest with Bradford. My interest in the whole game is negligible. I don't have a clue what teams are in superleagues top 8 apart from Castleford being top of it. I'm not even sure who is in the middle 8s. It's such a parochial, amateur game that I can't be faffed reading about it. Now I accept I'm going to be an extreme example of the sort of apathy that a surfeit of woe can bring about but it's not just this club losing people, it's the game.

I'm in a similar position, not watched a game of Super League now for over a year.
Was shocked to see that Chase was actually contracted to Widness when the drug test news broke. Definitely fallen out of love with RL

You're not alone Pumpy. I use to be an RL nut, constantly reading articles, stats crunching etc. Now i just can't be bothered. I watched the Leeds game on Thursday as there wasn't much else on (baring in mind, it was like a religion to watch Friday/Sat night SL for me) Leeds are second in the table, i dread to think what the Bulls, Leeds, Saints of the early noughties would have done to them. The sport is just a mess, from a bonkers structure to farcical junior development. Nigel Wood just seems to bury his head in the sand instead of confronting clubs when they decide to make scandalous decisions (Like getting rid of the U21s)
I only go on a Sunday for the social aspect, seeing a group of mates, have a few drinks then watch a game of RL. I hate the term "the sport is on life support", they will always be fans who go and watch it, but my god it's dire to watch at the moment. It's boring. Clubs are lazy in their marketing. In fact i think clubs have become lazy in all aspects. We've gone so far back since the mid 90s to early noughties.
