Losing against Saints 75-0 and then getting battered by Leeds, signing garbage like Oliver Wilkes and in general the Millward era until he got sacked.

Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing. We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in. But you’ve got to keep believing.:86.jpg



Quote: rollin thunder "When Damian McGrath left as assistant coach he was pretty damning about lance and said the players pulled them out of the fire nor lance. Those first 5 games before murryfiwld where awfull we where bottom of the table with no wins and the then woefull Huddersfield where above us. That the very lowest point. Lance should have walked then. But we had him for another 12 or so months'"

Not sure I would necessarily rate Damian McGrath's opinion more or less highly than anyone else's but the fifth of those defeats at the start of his SL reign - a 40+ drubbing at Wilderspool IIRC - was indeed probably Lance's lowest ebb.

Was walking back to the car after that game talking to some Warrington fans and even they where concerned about what sort of drubbing we where going to get at murryfield. And Warrington where not even close to being a good side in those days.

Before Royce was sacked, The way Saints where playing (Boring) was a low point.
When Millward was getting sacked I remember that being a low point.

Nothing compared to some other teams low points I know

For the older Bradford fans, 1963 I guess?

Otherwise, 2010 and 2011 were little short of the Chinese water torture.

But the most surreal moment of all must be when the board suddenly sprung on us the little local difficulty of "oops chaps, we seem to have suddenly run out of money despite telling you a few weeks earlier that everything was just fine. What Silly Billies we are. Oh, well, shìt happens. Oh, and here's the bucket..."

Some stark contrasts on this thread,some fans lowest points came when their club went bust/almost bust/lost their ground or like us were in the gutter for years on end, yet some cite a cup final defeat or a particularly bad defeat a few years back.
I certainly know which low points im glad i've seen my club come through and would never want to go through again!

As a Saints fan i've been very lucky. The lowest point in my memory was earlier in the season when we got down to 9th in the league, for a couple of weeks.
I know most fans would kill for that to be the low point in their memory

I suppose that just shows how saints fans in particular just wouldn't appreciate anything other than getting to finals year on year.

The whole Long/Gleeson incident is a low point for a Saints fan also how Millward was ushered out by EMc was a low point especially with all the info that came out afterwards.

5 Grand Final losses haven't helped either.

Hardly heartbreak but as a 21 year old I've not seen much of a hard time as a Saints fan.

Completely agree with your point, although sometimes a bad defeat is sometimes the visual representation of going through bad times etc. I'd also suggest leaving Fartown wasn't anywhere near as bad as it could have been, knowing that you had a ground to move in to.

It wasn't bad as in it nearly killed us matt, but it was a low point in our history but came from years of neglect and not having funds to upgrade it etc.
My point being that when your low point is the odd bad defeat every few years then these fans really dont know how lucky they been to have had it easy.
I wouldn't change anything as a fartown fan, our seemingly endless low points just make it a whole easier to appreciate where we are at now,thats why im so proud of what we have achieved the last few years, hell even some of our fans would consider losing to wigan as a low point now,not knowing what hard times are.
By the way its a great thread!

Exactly, when 5 loses on the bounce is your worse run of form in 26 years, you know you've been spoilt.
I don't even know if we've ever been relegated

Relegation in 2004 was low.
