Blimey are we going to have a discussion on them or what?

I hope they continue in this vein until at least the end of next weekend.

Poor old Adam Pearson must be thinking why is he bothering.

Problem is, FC have always thought they are a bigger team than what they actually are.
A double CC win made the blinkered fans actually think they are GF contenders.......Way off and always have been.
Have broken more records in recent years than Roy Castle!

Hopefully. Might give him a bit of insight into how the fans feel

To get 60 points put on you at home by a team decimated by injuries is absolutely embarassing!

Nobody has sent us the memo that Rugby League is now a summer sport, we are still peaking for the end of May

And worryingly it's far from the first time, I've never seen so much apathy in the stands. The crowd looked smaller than the 10k announced (like most clubs we announce tickets sold rather than who's actually there) most left early and those left could hardly be bothered to boo.

No doubt amusing for fans of other clubs to see, but SL can't afford any of its teams to be turning fans off in these worrying times for the world.

What worrying times for the World?..... Are we being invaded from other planets? My God, How dramatic, But that's Fc for ya.

You aware aware that there's a cost of living crisis and for some a season ticket won't be affordable next season?

And the standard of rugby on display across SL is hardly getting the pulses racing, Saints are way out in front. Wigan, Catalans and Hudds look decent some weeks then flop, the rest are playing what would have been seen as a Championship level standadd 10 or so years ago.

At what point do we accept that Hull isn't actually a "rugby mad city" and do what they did with the academies and just become City of Hull?

One side has a good ground and brings nothing, the other brings nothing full stop.

The cost of living is down to peoples own expenses, I'm fine so don't need a band wagon excuse.
But I do agree regards the standard of SL and think teams need a chance to grow instead of panic buying to survive.

It is a Rugby mad city, not far off 20k fans turning out each week...but both clubs and fan bases have settled for mediocrity for too long, too many fans happy with a mid table finish as long as there is a derby win.

The academies merging didn't work, and the clubs merging will never work. SL is either stuck with us both clogging up the mid table or they flip a coin and pick one of us for a franchise and send the other to 'SL2'

Good that you are doing ok but many wont be able to afford the heating on this winter never mind a trip out to the Rugby.

I hope I am wrong but as a working class sport RL will take a hit, and Saints running away with a 4th title in a row while the rest slip further behind isnt helping matters in getting people through the gates. We also of course have a new TV deal to win.
