I'm giving serious consideration to making this season my last. Sick of the mediocrity, sick of coming away from matches feeling let down.

I guess you should support your team through thick and thin but - as with anything in life - if you're not enjoying it, make the change.

I think I may become a floating rugby league supporter, picking and choosing matches for the atmosphere and competition. It's got to be better than blindly following this e.

As FA said, our abysmal completion rate early on took too much gas out of the team despite being a man up. It did make me wonder about the fitness of certain players. In the second half our defence went to pieces and we made far too much work for ourtselves by allowing endless offloads. We seemed to lose our way when we brought Hargreaves, Kopczak and Diskin back on. The energy levels seemed to drop for some reason, very odd.

Our lin between backs and forwards unfortunately didn't click again, it was too slow, predictable and at times just never happened. We seem to be unable to play an open style and can only get close to matching good teams when there's bad weather meaning a forward battle down the middle.

That said, Catalans played some great rugby. They look a superbly fit and well drilled side. The best I've seen at Odsal this year. If they could sort out their discipline they'd be serious contenders. I was really impressed by the way they drove the ball in and dominated the collision too, they looked really enthusiastic. In contrast our enthusiasm seemed to ebb away in the second half and we looked like we didn't really believe in ourselves.

No argument that Catalans were worthy winners, they were clearly the better side. We look short of class at halfback and across the backline. Menzies was our best player last year and a class above all else, so we let him go. What a balls up that was.

I wouldn't say you are that good !

Blimey,don't be so disheartened ! The Bulls should have taken the points at Perpignan,it was only a missed penalty attempt almost in front of he posts by Ah Van that let you down.Catalans are a decent side with some good players plus a dynamic coach so it's no disgrace being beaten by a better team on the day.Stick with your side,they will be back.....look at where the Catalans were last season.........

You know something is wrong when you're 6 points up, a man up, on a beautiful summer afternoon and you STILL resort to 5 drives and a kick, shipping in 4 tries in the process.
It's a wonder I've any hair left after watching this side over the past few seasons, I've torn that much of it out.

Seriously? Well I'm sorry, but if that is your attitude you won't be missed. You should sign up for the T&A forum while you're at it.

I dare say I won't be missed but if enough people feel the same the club will miss our money. Even at this season's prices it feels like we've been ripped off given the promises that were made.

Even though the results haven't always gone our way, I'm not sure you can call 13 games (14 if you include the CC) for £60 a rip-off. It's still a game of rugby at the end of the day. If you can't sit back and enjoy it for what it is, regardless of the result, then perhaps you are watching the wrong sport.

Don't think there's any ripping off going on. No one on the board is there to make money. They just want the best for the club but are unable to deliver it. I doubt they can try any harder than they are doing now.

This presumably happened in the 1950s and 60s with the result that the Bradford public withdrew their support and the club folded. I don't know if this is what you hope happens this time.

I agree.

Despite whatever I might have said on here, usually in the heat of the moment an hour after a game, I still think that Season Ticket was the best £99 I spent this year. I've already seen ten games for that - even though I've been left wondering why I bother at times



Still, it will be interesting to see how the whole cheap season ticket thing plays out for 2012. I'll certainly be willing to pay £99 or a bit more for the stand, I'm not sure how many other will.... or at least not without 'signings to whet the appetite', by which I mean 'actual' not 'promised'

Even considering the disappointments of this season £60 or £99 is a huge bargain and I'd question the sanity of any proper Bulls fan who thinks otherwise.

It will be very intriguing to see what happens next season regarding season tickets. I am aware of many people who are not attending games despite being members. They are looking at their purchase a sunk coast and do not consider turning up to Odsal being a worthwhile use of their time due to the perceived lack of entertainment/quality, call it what you will.

The remainder of the 2011 season is vital regardless of whether the Bulls make the top 8 as some amount of feel good factor has to return. This Winter we had the 'start of a new era' to look forward to and that particular hook can not be used in this close season to get fans into the ground as many feel let down by some of the performances this term. Meet the new boss/Same as the old boss, so to speak.

Unless the standard of recruits are of a much higher standard than have been coming through the door in recent times it will be difficult to generate much buzz about next year. It is the 'casual' fan who may have attended during the glory years and has been enticed back by the pledge deal that the club has to get back next season. Myself and most of the Bulls supporters on this board will continue to turn up come what may, with the other 5-6,000 hardcore, that's not the real issue in terms of growth though. It's a quandary for those running the show to say the least.
