| It beats me how anyone can consider losing a final as their lowest point!
Losing twenty odd games on the bounce, going into admin again, points deductions, losing your stadium and all your players... Now that's what i call low points.

| Quote: vastman "Wilkes isn't and wasn't garbage - it was your club that was garbage at the time, grow up. If signing a good journeyman like Wilkes and a freak blow out score is your worst moment my heart bleeds, really
Here's me thinking this thread was about my teams lowest point, sorry if my opinion doesnt suit you. You should mind though you dont fall off that high horse of yours, you might hurt yourself
Of course we were garbage, that was the point ffs and I thought it was pretty clear, maybe it was just beyond your intelligence. We also lost 70-0 against Leeds, so the Saints game was hardly a freak blow out, and had record defeats in consecutive weeks. We were also routinely losing against mediocre sides, which we ourselves had become, such as Wakefield. We had lost some pretty world class players such as Lam and they were replaced by the likes of Jordan James and Oliver Wilkes who we signed from Championship clubs and who were no where near good enough. Your description of Wilkes, a 'good' journeyman, says it all. His long and illustrious history of clubs include Keighley, Leigh, Whitehaven,Widnes, Harlequins and Wakefield so he must obviously be a true superstar in anyones books . I am sorry but for a top club he was a garbage signing and was completely out of his depth, obviously you just have much lower standards. The whole Millward era as a whole was very poor and was a farce from start to finish and almost saw us relegated. One the field it was the worst spell I have ever seen from a Wigan team.

What he said. Didn't go to the final against Widnes but it was the first final I watched featuring Leeds, and I was inconsolable. The worst final performance ever from Leeds in my time, unless you counted the premiership final we lost against Wigan, and possibly the Warrington one of 2010. Sadly there have been plenty to choose from!

| Having only started watching Saints from 91 I've not really had any real low points, Yes losing 5 grand finals is/was disappointing but i was never really low? Too many high's really? Lucky to follow the Saints?
Losing 75-0 must be bad though

HULL KINGSTON ROVERS is my religion, Craven Park is my church and Jordan Abdull is my God: |
|
| Quote: Gallanteer "In game terms, losing 2-1 at home to Barrow on a water logged Craven Park pitch. Both teams came off covered in mud and couldn't tell the difference between them. All points scored were from drop goals. Very painful.
But overall, it still has to be Wilby trying to buy us to close us down in the 90's which led to near collapse of Rovers. Plus the ever present shadow of Merger. The Allams hinted at it again recently, although thankfully Hudgell and Pearson seem to realise the strength of the rivalry.'"
Really??
I remember losing 1-0 to Barrow and beating York 2-0

I don't think so. Rowley will be the death of us this year.

| Losing 0-1 at home to Barrow on a mudbath...losing at Doncaster in the challenge cup in the late 80s...the last few games in 95 after the mergers had been announced & it looked like the club was finished...letting 70 odd in at Halifax when we were down to 10 players just after half-time & finished with 9

| The start of Super League and forced relegation, this was the point where sport began to take second place and the "product" became moer important and on field performance ceased to matter, never mind the poor souls in the Championship who had their future prospects blocked.

| another big low point for me was losing to fev at wembley in 1983. the loss to rovers in 1980 i could take easier, as there was no real favourite in that game and it was a pretty close if poor quality affair. however we went into the fev game as massive favourites having just won the league and they just avoided relegation. add the manner of the defeat in - dubious challenge on our scrum half resulting in his early loss with injury, and a stupid penalty given away with just 2 minutes to go. yes that one hurt, we had a great chance to finally win at wembley and blew it. 30 years on almost, and we are still waiting.
and yes i'm still bitter

The poor souls who if they actually stopped moaning for 5 minutes and blaming everyone else could spend some time developing their club and realise SL is an achievable goal.

Ain't that the truth, we can't even put a decent conspiracy theory together as to what out lot are up to........the fight seems to have gone now and just appear to be in the throws of dissapearing up our own jacksies

| As a Keighley fan, where do I start?
Being denied promotion to Super League after winning the 2nd division because Sky wanted a London team in.
Going bust twice.
Watching loads of fans going to support Br*dford after they copied the Cougarmania model and built one of the best sides of the last 20 years off the back of it.
Talk of us moving to Burnley and being called Pennine Cougars, by an owner who had a particularly shady background.
Getting an almighty pasting in front of the Sky cameras at Fev because someone at the club thought it'd be a good idea to play the game at 2 days notice because Toulouse couldn't travel over because of the Iceland volcano and it was our bye week.
