If the fans are to keep on turning up they need to hear some positives from the club. Whilst we are told rubbish about 'flat performances' and 'there were positives to be seen' nobody is going to pay any attention to the club. And as for the old standard of 'dumb rugby' can anybody tell me what the hell Sheriffe was hoping to achieve by palming the ball back into play. The best outcome would have been a drop out for a knock on behind the line and that was supposedly what he was trying to stop.

And maybe a little more honesty? I said that a few weeks ago (unlikely I pleased anyone from the club reading it at the time) and its surely more important than ever now? If there are financial or other issues behind the scenes contributing to the current dreadful situation, maybe fans (with the usual one exception) would understand a bit better? Maybe that would give the fans more hope, or at least some better reason to keep turning up every week and to try and get behind the team?

quite. And Sheriffe's gaff was one of the worst I've seen in a long long time. Problem is it was bourne out of good intentions and an instinct to help the team, but it was the incorrect thing to do. Which is much like a lot of our play at the moment, well intentioned and some effort but all too often misapplied - like solo trying a hero over the top ball in his own 20 that surrendered possension (perhaps because he realised that he was the only one carrying any threat last night), or rushing the miss out pass that ended up being a pass into the warrington line for one of their last tries.

These errors of concentration and application are ultimtely the players fault, but I'd like to think good coaching and drilling might remove these poor decisions over time but thats not happening. Why?

The errors they are making are typical of people that are tired. This is not solely due to the Easter period but have been shown all season. We do not seem fit enough. At the start of the season we fell away badly in the second half. Unfortunately we are not going to pick up any fitness mid-season.

Just like you lot to BV on Monday what 10 miles and it was a poor away support.

Like the man says its about winning.

From Volcano to Sherriffe do the maths.

Travelling from Wibsey is far enough.

Some truth in what ollie35 says, and some wishful thinking. I remember seven or eight years ago a Bulls fan on this board trying to convince me that the 'people's team' had found a new way to attract fans and that crowds would stay up even if they had a poor patch. Clearly wrong - all clubs get boosted crowds with success, and lose them with failure. That's also the reason for the poor Wire turn out last night - you probably haven't noticed but home gates are well down at Wire, too, this season. As for Hudds, I'm pleased they are finally getting more than a couple of dozen speccies turning up in what is, after all, the 'home town' of rugby league. However, the time to gloat over Bulls fans is when you've averaged more than 10,000 per home game for more than ten years as Bradford have, not after half-a -dozen games in one season.

i think hull kr fans and quins and wigan fans will vouch that we do go to away matches now (see my sig)

good luck trying to get the bandwagon brigade back
