If I had the time and could be ar$ed (on topic!) I'd quite like to see how many clubs have outperformed us in the last 30 years (on field success and solvency) and how many have either vanished or sit in a far worse position than we do. I've often thought we were over-achieving by existing in the top flight. It's all relative I suppose.'"
Understand what your saying, but we've had so many false promises throughout the years. Yes we've survived mostly in rugby leagues top flight and like you say that is an achievement, but we've rarely been competitive in the top flight (well since I've been alive anyway) and I'm bored of being the laughing stock of Super League. Its frustrating and bloody annoying going to a game knowing your going to get beat or turning up at a game knowing that there will only be a crowd of 3,000 there. All I ask is to be a competitive team in the top flight, look at Castleford and Wakefield for example, ok they've had a couple of seasons in the the lower leagues like us and have struggled in Super League in some cases, but both of them teams have also been competitive more times than we ever have, both have finished in the play offs more than us, both have had better runs in the cup than us. The point I'm trying to make is why can't we? All I hear is we don't have the money, resources blah blah to compete with the top teams and I agree, there's no disputing that what so ever. But do Castleford, Wakefield (Well maybe more so now) etc have the finances to do that? No, but yet they always seem to be more completive than us.
As for having a choice whether I go or not, well maybe I do. But just because I'm fed up like many others it isn't going to alter my choice. I'll be there this week against Widnes and I'll be there in 4 years time when we're not in Super League playing Gateshead away
