| For those that had to endure the 2000 season. What are the main differences between that year and this with regards to players, coaches and performances?

Well for a start, we had the true legend of the game playing which was Frankie Napoli
This may help for memory refresh

Only thing I disagree with on there though is that I was convinced we ditched Monie close to the end of the season, didn't think he saw it out ? oh and we did the double over Huddersfield-Sheffield as they were known in that season.

There's a few things wrong with that. We had Kaptain Karle all season, Wath Brow game (Dooley's debut) was at Kingsmeadow, ... and you're right - Monie was fired about 3/4 through the season - in the boardroom at The Valley IIRC and was replaced by the Rea/Whatisname duo.

I thought the Wath Brow game was away, with the Salford [Chariots debut for the Reds] game in Kingston, but looking at the year before they have Les Kiss as gaffer all season which was wrong as Dan the man was there up to the Wakefield home game when TR/LK took over......think it was just TR took over from Monie.

| Wath Brow was definitely at Kingsmeadow, with the Salford game played at IIRC Crawley Town FC's ground.

| Monie was sacked with three games to go. Needed a win or two to avoid relegation. Rea was appointed and we lost two but won away at Leeds last game of the Season. Finished sexond bottom above Shuddersfield. Played and loat to Salford four times losing in the cup. Edwards retired two league games in and a promising young half back Brendan Magnus had a career ending knee injury in about our third game. After that we struggled. Dooley had a good season but apart from that it was pretty poor. That said this year is worse. 2000 was just a bad year and 2001 was going to be better. We were a there or thereabouts team.2012 started with optimism but like the last two to three years I can't see where the improvement is to come drom.

| I only remember playing and losing to Salford in the Cup at Kingstonian. Dark day that was. Probably fits that season nicely, even if it wasn't.

| Was that the season that Dom ran half the length of the Pitch at Charlton to lump someone then ran away like a poof?
2000 was better as we were poor, but we had good spirit, "we only sing whne we're losing"

Wath Brow was at Kingsmeadow. I think Salford was also at Kingsmeadow. I seem to recall it was Batley who we played at Crawley.

| Dom, silly sod, broke the jaw of Hull's prop, Steve Craven? Think that was at The Stoop.
And we definitely played Batley at Crawley. Don't know if that was the same season though.

| Dorn was not playing for us in 2000. He didn't sign until 2005.

Think that's Do M as in Peters rather than Dor N.
My brain is deffo confused, could swear that the only game we played at Kinstonian was vs Salford, with Chariots debuting for them and scoring, Batley was def in Crawley [following season?] but cannot remember watching Wath Brow down in Kingston, but all searches suggest we did, scary

It's pointless always looking back to what we can perceive as the good seasons, even though I still feel the World Club Championship and season 1997 finishing 2nd in Super League will forever take some beating other than the first season as Fulham.
The return to The Stoop has been dismal & sadly continues that way!!
