100%. You'd need to be deluded to think otherwise!

Has anyone actually tried to vote with their foot?

I did once, it was hard work and gave me a new found respect for Daniel Day-Lewis.

Tosh.

agreed. you can't even compare this bunch with past lineups

You two are either deluded, or know sweet feck all about Rugby League if you believe that they aren't.

Our problem is, either the players won't play for the coach, the coach is poor or something is going on behind the scenes.

When they play, they could easily get top 5. Although you are right in that the squad doesn't match up to past lineups.

i know my stuff. my uncle played for greaat britain

Cool, you still clearly know feck all, and you're still deluded.

its true. i am the nephew of charlie renilson

So? How does that mean you know what you are talking about. Some of the best players ever are useless pundits when it comes to giving their opinion on the game, so being an ex players nephew doesn't give you any elevated status.

You might have the sharpest RL brain there is, but it's nothing to do with who your uncle is.

Wind up or not, the sad truth is there are actually some people who agree with this bloke's line of argument. I wonder if they unplug their washing machines when they play up to signal their disapproval and leave them unplugged until they witness an improvement.

Hear hear

Also, the theory that results bring the crowds back seems shaky - can't really ask more than a home win against Leeds, and yet a sub-9k crowd the week after. Those feet don't seem all that adept at voting.

Well we had the most successful season in the club's history in 2003.

And in 2004 the crowds dropped by around 1k, when everyone - including all those on the "better results bring bigger crowds" bus - would have expected an increase.

Funnily enough, the club did too. The budget for 2004 was based on a 1k or more increase in attendances. So that was a loss of over 2000 bodies a week compared to budget. What was the effect on our bottom line? Go figure, but you'd be heading in the direction of £1/4 million.

But that can't be right, cos everyone knows that if you've been successful then your crowds increase?

Apart from in this apathetic city, seemingly.

Well they may be playing god awful but I'll still go and cheer if there's cause (and god i hope there is).

Staying away hurts the club financially and as a supporter it doesn't make sense to want to do that.
