Do you know he "couldnt be bothered" to go ------------or maybe HIS personal circumstances made it difficult or impossible for him/her to make it ?

If you do ---fine
Make your usual dig about other supporters!
If not take your sanctimonious halo off until you do
Goodness knows why KEN flew Simon and his family all the way from Australia when he could have hired Rugby Leagues messiah for the cost of a metro bus pass
(Was gonna attach a smiley but you seem to have used em all up dishing others opinions since Friday)
Oh no ........found one!

Well i for one don't see it as a job, I go to be entertained and have been doing so for a long time, If your inclined to feel sorry for them that's up to you , from my point of view they are paid to entertain us not depress us.

If you see yourself as a customer thats fine. I would want a stronger relationship than that and thats why I choose to be a supporter.

Who mentioned feeling sorry for the players?

Away on holidays Popeye, sorry to disappoint you.

Rugby league is a business like any other in the entertainment world, I would suggest that the Giants crowds are so poor because a lot of people don't feel they get value for their money, and with due respect you were the one who said it was our job, It's not our job , it's our choice whether we want to go or not,

I do however respect your point of view , you are entitled to it and no you didn't mention feeling sorry for them,but you certainly sounded like you were trying to excuse them for that abysmal showing.

No probs pal If you're struggling- will send Matty round with one!

I'm with you. It's a sports entertainment business. If the product is dire I won't be coming. With so many competing entertainment options that's modern life.

JJ I fully accept your right to criticise, challenge or contradict what I write. I absolutely object to you criticising what you think I think, that's just plain wrong.

On the subject of our job as 'supporters' I stand by my original post - maybe I should have said our 'role' but the principle remains the same. A person who supports something / somebody should be helping them in whatever way they can, the clue is in the word.

I also accept your wider point about being in the entertainment business and everybody has a right to stop coming to games

I have been reading this forum for a few years now and finally decided to start posting as I thought the forum might benefit from a few positive postings but maybe I got that wrong.

most people left this forum wood1 due to the constant attacks on positive posts i was same and signed up after reading for years to try and be a bit other way problem is theres only really 3 or 4 who post on here before there were loads but they all got shoved away over time

And them 3 or 4 could, individually, start an argument in a telephone box with the speaking clock. It's the same with most forum's the "warriors" drive away the rest with their constant negativity. At least our "warriors" are top notch and could teach our Giant's a thing or two about tenacity and keeping going when they know they've lost a cause.

going on holiday is not allowed blobby

Well i don't see we have a job or a role to play or anything else you care to call it, But i don't dispute your right to feel that's your part to play, Myself i buy my ticket and that's me done as far as helping them goes, Iv'e bought a fair few shirts over the years if that counts but it's up to the team and the club to perform, If they don't then people won't go in any worthwhile numbers Simple as.
If they can't put on a better show than they did against Leeds " a poor side " when they are fighting for their jobs then i don't see how me " getting behind them " is going to make the difference, I would have thought that trying to keep their job and repay Mr Davy a bit would be incentive enough,

When they put on the odd good performance I am as quick as anyone to give them credit, when they play like that i refuse to start making excuses for them, I know they have been unlucky with injuries but so have every other club, but all that said i think the problems start higher than on the field, Otherwise we wouldn't be such a poor side year after year despite frequent changes of coaches and imports.

We can agree to disagree , you have your opinion i have mine , that's what the forum is about

Hey up Grand which cause would that be, and i hate that clock
