Did you still go nowadays? Not seen you in years.

Whats that got to do with the price of fish?

yes, fair enough, he was, my bad. But Im just a bit baffled why people seem to assume world class players are always available for the right price at the right time and would want to come to a club that is clearly struggling at the moment and in the middle of a (rather long winded) rebuilding?

I think the signing left is Walker, and [iif [/ihe reproduces what he is capable of then he will improve our backs from last year.

Translation: No

Just a question.

I come across a lot of 'Sky TV Bulls' fans who are quite vocal about who we should be signing. Whilst our crowds continue to dwindle we can look forward to far worse than Danny Sculthrope.

There's a reason for dwindling crowds.

the primary one is Steve McNamara.

Glory supporters. That's the sole reason.

I've always supported 'Bradford Northen/Bulls' not a certain player/coach. But that is another debate.

I saw some bloody awful Rugby from the Bulls last year, but they are still my team.

getting more naive in your old age?

That is the reason. Whether people admit it or not. People can bleat on about "I'm not going because they got rid of Noble" or "I'm not going because McNamara is rubbish", but what it boils down to is "we're not winning now, so I don't like it".

Essentially the "McNamara is rubbish" excuse is just another way of saying "While McNamara is here, we don't win".

The only other small reason is economy and some people simply can't afford it.

Anyone who says other than money or glory though is kidding themselves.

As far as I go, while I can afford it, I go to the games. Regardless of results, regardless of what bloody division we're in, regardless of who's playing for us. I'm a supporter of the club, not just my favourite player who I have a bit of a man-crush on.

I never said a world class player. I said a quality player : eg. Hall, Menzies, Scruton, Lynch. like the type we already have some of, I don't think anybody really expects us to sign a world class player like Moi Moi, Inglis, Folau etc.

Your medal is in the post and loyalty not questioned. But how do we get the supporters back? Not with this trundler

Totally agree with that. Lets just hope some of the young 'uns have great seasons and give us a bit of a feel good factor.

We get the supporters back by winning.

Every club and fan likes to deny it, but there is no doubting that success relates to attendances. Every club has it's loyal following who will go no matter what, but every club also has it's glory supporters that don't bother if they are losing.

It's the same with every club and every sport.

But it's a vicious cycle. People don't turn up, so attendances are down and money is down, which means you have to sign poorer players. Poorer players mean less success and less people turning up. Very difficult to climb out of.
