Quote: Blotto "I think most fans reading that paragraph will wholeheartedly agree with the sentiments expessed!

If you don't have the bad times you will never fully appreciate the good ones, just ask the older Northern fans! The problem with a lot of the stay away fans is that the majority of those came during the "Glory" days and don't have it in them to tough it out like the hardcore fans, these things are cyclical and the good times will come round again, but I agree it's no fun having to grit yer teeth, time and time again, but as a true fan you do!'"

Unfortunately, there are seemingly not enough of the "hardcore" fans to pay the bills. Hence the Catch-22.

But don't you think that times have very greatly changed, in that nowadays there is so much stuff going off all over the place, that the number of young fans who might potentially become "diehards" is far smaller than in the past? As with most things, it is a gradual falling off, but I just think that across the board, the average speccy is significantly less "committed" to the team than even 20 years ago, and many fewer have that real attachment that would make them attend come hell or high water - they just choose to watch something on Sky or go on Facebook or whatever, and would look at you pityingly if you asked why they weren't going to the match. "Duh?!"

Probably won't be answered, but on top of the 5 obvious (ish) questions I have sent in, i've now sent one in regarding Glenn Hall's fitness. He's a professional player yet he can't even manage 20 minutes on the pitch.

Best thing to do so email your questions. If they don't ask them for you, wait for the questions from the floor section and ask them then.

That should go for everyone on here. If you want an answer, and I want answers from the club, make sure your voice is heard and make sure your question is asked.

Your voice has been heard, I gave a copy of that post of yours (along with some others') off another thread to the Marketing Director and CEO earlier today. They were interested and took away with them. We had a good chat about fans' perceptions,

That's surprising.

I'd just assumed he'd disappeared off the face of the earth.

You learn a lot by talking to people, to be honest.

Red Amber and Black Fantasy Rugby League Champion 2012. By far the most sensible posts on this thread have come from mystic eddie. - copyright Ewwenorfolk 09.04.2013 Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know: Mystic Eddie has been right all along! - copyright vbfg 05.01.2017:Others/combustable.gif



I am totally interested to see what they have got to say this time. The board, and their inability to spot a decent coach have made us a complete and utter embarrassment. Will they accept responsibility? No I doubt it. They will bury their heads in the sand and find someone else to blame as usual.

It is a joke scenario.

In fact - we have now hit a new low. What "positive spin" are they gonna put on it this time?

The club is run by a bunch of inept amateurs, regardless of what those "in the know" try to suggest.

Re: the Fans Forum

I'm thinking of going - do you need a ticket or do you just show up? Also I cannot arrive before at least 7.45 pm due to work commitments. It starts at 7.30 pm. Does it last long enough to be worth coming a bit late?

After today, I think I would like to hear what is said at the forum icon_smile.gif

As long as you don't come in with a fan fare, i wouldn't worry. It's free in and usually lasts about 90 minutes to 2 hours. ish.

And there's no way it will "start" at 730 - never does
