| Ive been to 90% of our home games for the last 10 years. Havent been to any of the last 4 and not going again while Powells in charge. I cant justify the cost and time while the club sits around and lets the side get hammered every week. And if RPs in charge next year ill be watching northampton or hemel.

That is such a shame to read from one so loyal.
You'll be fine for next year though with Powell moving and all that. I hope the performances pick up and everyone learns something from such a poor year as they did in 2000. Though at present we don't have international captains and State of Origin hookers joining us for next year.

| Its amazing how we manage to excel at failing to turn posession into points as often as we do.
We even had to have the second try gift wrapped. We can only imagine what the scoreline would
have been if Leeds had played well throughout. I cant imagine what effect these continual
capitulations are having on the younger players.
Still fortunately I can only make the Wigan and Rovers fixtures as Im hardly likely to take annual
leave to suffer our lot versus Wire and Salford.
I really didnt think it would get to this point at our club.
Still theres plenty more games to plumb yet more depths yet.

Never had you down as a sensitive soul.
Stats - home: W3, F210, A241 / overall: W3, F366, A645
It doesn't take a genius to work out that these figures are totally unmarketable, they are atrocious.

| Tbf to Gutterfax someone posted the crowd as a positive when in fact even that was a negative.he posted the 4th lowest figure before I did - as it was my exact same reaction -we usually get about 5k for them.
Yesterday - and all games - only enjoyable as a chance to have a beer with a few peeps. The rugby is pretty funny too.
We've become a bit like the Crystal Maze. Infuriating if you want to see em win but hilarious to laugh at them failing

| GF some of what you say makes sense but shut up about attendence, we all know how bad it is and we don t need you contiunually harping on about it. However before you open your mouth and let your tongue flap in the breeze think about these issues
1. WHat is best way to get bums on seats is it a continual shower of a team with no ambition, no effort and no iterest or a team who goes out and gives their all
2. Would an exciting game day attact more people than a dismal soul destroying day
3. Would this coach last in any other SL club - I personally dont think so but I could be wrong you probably have statisitcs about this.
4. Why keep praising DH - I am first to agree his money has kept the club afloat and for that I will be eternally grateful but why would you give a two year contract to someone without any proven first team knowledge whatso ever
5. Why would you continually admire DH for putting money in when he is the person who is helping RP kill the club - DH has final say on who stays and who goes and as RP is still here I suggest that means DH is happy with him. Ok he would have to pay him off but at this part of the season ask yourself which is best - losing a few grand on a coach now or losing a lot of money on fans walk up tickets and season tickets (not all long term fans have season tickets) - that could have a far longer lasting effect now the hard core fans are walking away
6. If you were here for games would you be happy about being told there is a review taking place and weeks down the line the club is in even more dire straits.
I am not getting at you on a personal level but what I am saying is shut up and engage your brain before you say something, I have supported the club for almost 20 years I did 10 years of every home and away game and I have decided now is the time to think about walking away till Powell goes. Nothing else has happened maybe walking away will make those in charge realise enough is enough. I will listen to games on line and I will renew my season ticket next year as long as Powell goes. I cannot afford to spend the kind of money I spend on this club for absolutely no return. All I ask is for a competitive team and that is what we as fans are being strongly denined. Powell can't cut the mustard - he should go. I cannot sit and take the heartache any longer, I feel gutted and cheated by this club and this is something I would never have thought I would feel. I love RL, I love Broncos, I love meeting friends and having a great day out. I cannot stomach the heartache and the gut wrenching feeling of no one at the club caring - time to take a break.
ALso GF I used to be one of around a group of 40 fans who have supported the club through thick and thin and do you know what - yes you have guessed this weekend there were 6 of us - even Leeds couldnt entice them to the game - Says is all doesn't it
Please do not spout more attendence figures at us all - we know the score and all true fans are sick to the stomach whether they have supported for 2 games or 30 years.

| Just think - if there's a game next week we'll be playing a Bradford side with its problems now behind it and buoyed up even more by winning at Wigan last Friday.

| Again to all the GF bashers. Someone else brought up attendance.
He did nothing more than show the figure in a comparative light.

| Every time we lose, I go on the internet the morning after and go on BBC Sport in the vain hope that Powell has finally shuffled off, and each week I am left disappointed. Yesterday was no better or worse than we've managed all season in terms of performance, but it was quite astonishing how easy Leeds found it in the final fifteen minutes. As soon as they tried anything even remotely expansive, we just had no answer. In defence, we seem to expect teams to be as one-dimensional attacking us as we are at them.
We competed for the first twenty minutes of each half, but you just can't allow yourself to be so easily swept away like that. It was embarrassing, sitting in the East Stand, completely outnumbered (2 to 1 at least) by away fans, looking at us as we shouted at the team to pull their finger out, offering us the 'keep the faith' platitudes. Leeds won at a canter and it felt like they barely broke a sweat. Humiliating.
The club can offer as many ticket deals as it wants. It can encourage all of us to bring friends. It can stock the club shop to the gills for us to buy. But why would we? Is there any pride left - at all? I honestly don't think I can bare much more of this.

| How do you think Powell feels when he gets up on a Sunday? Surely he must think Im out of my depth in this job.
I saw him after the game walking round the pitch with J O'C. All I could think of is why are you not talking to the capt, owner, senior players etc rather than a young kid.
Round shouldered , looking at the ground, hands in pockets. He has not standing, aura, doesn't look authoritative, nothing- get you bags packed Powell you are useless.
Why when the young centre went down with cramp on 60 mins didnt he shove Howell to centre and Krasniqi into the pack and get Lovell off. As it transpired Leeds just hammered him. He reminds me so much off McDermott. Very reactive and makes changes when the game has gone rather than be pro active.

| Colly2 has been very insightful in highlighting our problems in the centres. Part of the issue is the combination is never the same one week to the next - Powell simply doesn't have any idea who fits best into what position. He has no firm grasp of the problem, and can't find any solutions. I look forward to Rooster Booster's defence of coaches this week, perhaps this isn't part of their remit.

| A centre in the second row, and an inexperienced centre not (yet) up to Super League standard on the bench! Meanwhile Ben Bolger is sitting in the stands!! Worse than that so is Lamont Bryan!! What has the guy done wrong? You know he can tackle and has bucket loads of enthusiasm.
Will Lovell looks a prospect but not ready for 80 minutes, meanwhile JO'C is completely sapped of confidence in both attack and defence.
I was so angry yesterday. A pedestrian Leeds outfit puts 50 on us. The club is an amateur shambles both on and off the field. I'm not fool enough to applaud a team beaten like this week in and week out off the field, but this is MY game and I will continue to turn up.

| Enough's enough. As long as Powell stays in charge, I'm not going to waste my money going. Right now you can predict our results - we will score 10-12 points and concede 40+. Pathetic.

| Counted approximately 10 morons in the West Stand clapping the team off at full time. Incredible.

It's not Bashing, it is just so many of us are sick and tired of him repeating the same points over and over again and how he has all the answers, then telling us how good he is, I think we have got the point by now and even if we don't necessary agree with he has had his say.
Yes its so easy to fire bullets from thousands of miles away, all I wish GF would accept us mostly we are on the ground and know what is wrong, and don't need to be constantly lectured, I hold my hands up and admit that I do not see all the media or what is happening every week down on the ground and in London, except for what some friends send me and fortnightly or so visits.
I did not clap the team off as I was walking off to get on the road, but it is up to them!
