| I would like to suggest there being a WMD under or in McNamara's seat, please can we take it away for investigation (whilst he's sat on it) and let it be replaced whilst it is interogated, waterboarded and locked up without trial for the next 2 years, unfornuntely Steve would have to stay with it as he is the owner and person responsible for it's actions.
My evidence is the destruction of a world championship club to relegation fodder in 3 years, he has brought terror, fear and worse than all apathy to our once great clubs supporters.
We can replace Steve's chair with a more experienced chair with someone (anyone) else sat on it.
I would suggest should our great nations army...sorry all our armed forces perform this task (nothing else seems to budge him) then an even greater majority would clap them...perhaps even Terry
Being serious, something different and i kinda enjoyed it. Lets stop the bickering, people have different views and opinions and if we didn't it wouldn't be interesting...now moving onto people without children parking in mother and baby spaces...............

| I would say that the applause for theses lads was as warm and prolonged as I think I have ever heard at odsal, it went on throughout the whole presentations and a lot of people in the stand made it a standing ovation. I am very proud that the overwhelming majority of fans (both clubs) feel that way.
I despise those who feel big about not clapping, especially those who only have self-interest at heart - "what have they done for ME ME ME"icon_wink.gif I am grateful to live in a country where even the mealy-mouthed, selfish, waste-of space oafs such as these have the right of free speech, ironically preserved for them by the blood and sacrifice of millions of former service men and women.
Yeah, that about sums it up for me.

Yep, everyone in the Coral stand was applauding all the way through too, including the two sides that had played in the curtain raiser.
I was there with a few people who had never been to Odsal before (and a few who had never been to an RL game) and they all commented what a very respectful and nice reception the half time ceremony got.
It was also quite strange to note that they all thought the pre-match entertainment was excellent. Perhaps we only criticise it because we see a similar thing every week and remember when it was a bit more? Those new to the game were quite impressed.

I think we have a tendency to think that's just an excuse, but I witnessed first hand yesterday that he's spot on with it.

My sister brought a load of new people to the Leeds match earlier this year and they all mentioned how much they enjoyed the pre-match stuff too.

They are the reason we get to watch our Team, all be it playing badly. They do the toughest of jobs by putting their lives on the line and deserve and should always command respect.
More effort should be made in this way, free tickets for them and their families at all grounds. Maybe the RFL should champion that one? We can honour them and make use of their various display teams and bands. The Americans always make sure their Forces are honoured and looked after at most events Sporting and otherwise.
Well done Bulls and keep up the good work on this one.'"
having 2 relatives in the forces (one being my brother although not on the front line) i think that its a fantastic idea! maybe do something at the next MM weekend of CC final/GF?

| right lads let's pull out of iraq and afghan and never go to awarzone again, why? because civillian people like some on here couldnt care less what we do, maybe it's a war people dont want, but hey ho we got on with it, lets lay down our arms next time and let people walk all over us like the IRA did for a few years before the lads gave them a good hiding, when something bad happens to this country of ours and you lot complain i come on here and quietly say as a british solider i told you so....... then grab my gear and do the job just as well.

I bet your the sort of person that would it in a contact situation, no backbone, nothing about yourself. lets the 'real' men do the fighting and dyeing, while you sit at home havieing a brew slagging my boys off!, lost 3 good friends off mine due to iraq and afghan 2 while i was next to them, every soldier that i see is worth 15 of your, THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENT BUT UNTIL YOU HAVE DONE SOME SERVICE IN 'FOREIGN LANDS' IT MEANS NOTHING

Halifax last year announced all service personal would be allowed free admission on showing there ID card's (MODS 90), it would be a great gesture if more clubs allowed this, things like this do mean a lot to us service personnel as little as it may be it’s a nice gesture .
