at the risk of endlessly repeating myself, what is the point of your posts other to say - the squad is c***' the oner, CEO and in fact everything about the club is crap? finally us poor delusional "fans" are c***. but what is your point? none of us should go? let the club fold and dance on the grave just to get back at DH/Gus?
Please tell me - because every post is exactly the same and I really don't get it!
And just to remind you - I agree with 99.9% of what you have posted about marketing /Gus

Re-read this thread from the start. I posted it because it is relevant to The forthcoming game at Odsal and I even dealt with an initial attempt to belittle my right to make a score prediction before the same poster then dragged a debate from another thread into this one. I have also started threads regarding the next 2 home games, as these are vital to the survival of the club in any form from Feb 2015 onwards.....no doubt, these too will drift, like the Salford one.....which got as far as page 9 before people started saying that the ground made our small crowds look better......sorry, but that us like a red rag to a bull. Accepting 1,246 and saying "it seemed bigger because the stadium is the size of a match box" is insanity....to which, the apologetic brigade all jumped on board and I defend my point of view.
It's not a question of repeating the woes of the club over and over again, but when faced with inane posts about the number of Barnet fans at the game, I feel it is valid to compare this with the first games back at the stoop or at Griffin Park...I then get attacked for being negative, when in reality, it is the FACTS that are negative. 1,246 is a disgrace, but as there are no consequences for failure at the club, them having being totally removed from anyone in the recent move, nobody really cares. They should, but they don't.
I fail to see why I need to change my style or content of posts?
A forum moderator felt the need to post that they had been inundated with requests from other posters to ban me, but themselves haven't even issued me with a warning? Why is that?
Could it be that I haven't broken the rules?
Another poster has gone on record as to saying that my negativity is going to cause Hughes to walk and the Hive experiment to fail, before whining like a bitch about the moderators banning me.
To make myself clear, I support the team, want them to avoid the drop and to prosper at the Hive in front of growing crowds who in turn attract sponsors, corporates an ultimately investors. If people don't post inane bollox about how nice it is to be served a 1.80 coffee with a smile or how much better a stadium the hive is when compared to the Stoop, I'll avoid reminding them of exactly how far up creek we are and how e got there. If people stop saying "we've ha a short time to build a team" then I won't remind them what caused that.

Coffee is £ 1.50.
Maybe the other 30 pence is pieces of silver?

And nobody disagrees with that.

And some might find % Statistics regarding ups and downs in crowds, win ratios in years gone by just as inane. It does not make any of it wrong. I think most have the idea and understanding. Very few if any disagree with the historical perspective about how we got here. As an analogy, having fallen down the well most people try to work out how to get out rather than spending their time on the reason for ending up there. Once your out of the well you can ensure you don't fall down it again.
Quote: gutterfax "If people stop saying "we've ha a short time to build a team" then I won't remind them what caused that.'"
We know who and why, and the issue is to what end. The fact is the team is thrown together and that's the perspective we have to work from. And what is the solution? You've gone "WTF" previously, but some have suggested a Supporters Trust to try to take more of a role in influencing decisions in the club. With your background do you not see a role you could play to support this initiative to ensure it is successful?

| Hmmm...seems there might not even be a game
With the breakdown between the RFL and the Moore led trio looking beyond repair with both side issuing "curt" statements, I can't see a silver lining for the Bulls in the short term.
The will be on half money this year from the central pot, starting at a 6 point disadvantage and in all probability, will need to do what we and Wakey have done to our squads, and cut back to the bones. This means they are hardly an interesting proposition to a potential investor as they will surely be relegated along with either us or Wakey.
The only hope I can see for them is if they find a benefactor and quickly, or they will end up in liquidation and dropping down to the foot of the RL pyramid.
As it stands, the players and remaining staff will now not know who it is they work for or who will pay them, if they are to be paid at all.....very messy indeed.
London by 10 (if I am allowed to change my prediction)...coyb
Ref is Mr T Roby BTW....

Black Backgrounds/Zoot.gif Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

| Im nervous about 2 things. The size of the Odsal pitch and the wounded, angry Bulls players. Our defence was good for large spells but Salford found gaps quite easily in some periods on the small Hive pitch.
If we can't tighten up our defence for the full 80 we'll lose by 20-30 points.
I predict 28-12 to the wounded and angry Bulls.

| In 'The Times' this morning, Christopher Irvine has cast doubts as to whether the game will go ahead - happy chappy, isn't he?

The Broncos should refuse any request to cancel the game and turn up at Odsal. If Bradford cannot raise a team, or don't have insurance, or whatever else, and they do not take to the field or the doors are locked, then they forfeit the game and we should be awarded the points.
None of the northern clubs like us, none of them want us in their league, sod 'em! It's 'dog eat dog' this season I'm afraid.
