| Quote: Perry "So those of us who are loyal to the club are now derided as 'fanboys' are we? The fact that you exclude yourself speaks volumes.
Let me tell you something you would only know if you actually went to games. A load of Hull KR fans told us how they'd stuck with HKR when they were down to a few hundred fans ,when they were days from folding for good, when there seemed no hope, when they were in a similar position to where we are now. They were full of encouragement and told us to keep the faith and stick with it, they'd turned the corner and so would we.
They might be right, they might be wrong, but those remarks from true die hard fans of the game and their club mean far more to me that the inane name calling of someone thousands of miles away telling everybody how important he is.'"
Oh....because as you've said elsewhere, your a REAL fan because you're there. Tell me. How much more money have you contributed to the club this year than me? Surely it's loads because you're THERE right?
Get a grip. HKR are a club with a pedigree and a strong ethic of inclusion of their fans.....Londons SL club under the ownership of Hughes is his ing toy....a plaything that he has ruined, but he' not bothered about because he really doesn't give a flying one about the fans.
And yes, I use the word fanboy, but I do so towards posters on here that 'BELIEVE that we will be back to the top table when the reality is that unless hughes commits to 10 years or finds someone else to,were gone at the end of 2015 as a professional team.....

By the way, if I were truly wound up it would probably be the most passionate any Broncos supporter has got this year in relation to the club.......

You said "I won't take it lying down". This presumably means you are doing something. What is it that you are doing?

| Quote: gutterfax "Oh....because as you've said elsewhere, your a REAL fan because you're there.'" Yes I am.
Quote: gutterfax "Tell me. How much more money have you contributed to the club this year than me?'" Oh look, another bit of self promotion.
Quote: gutterfax "Get a grip.'" You get a grip and stop belittling those who continue to go to games.
Quote: gutterfax "HKR are a club with a pedigree and a strong ethic of inclusion of their fans...'" Now they have, wasn't always that way.
Quote: gutterfax "And yes, I use the word fanboy'" Of course you do because you deride anyone who doesn't worship at the altar of your opinions
Quote: gutterfax "were gone at the end of 2015 as a professional team.....'" Probably, and I don't give a toss. When I started supporting London Broncos I didn't add the caveat "but only if you stay in SL".

Why should I have to do anything? This is an Internet forum where opinions are aired......or is it normal for posters on here to go to training sessions and tell the coaching staff to work on wide defense?

No. It was a genuine question. Being there is obviously a key component to being a true fan in your eyes, so I repeat, how much more have you contributed to the club by being there this year? I haven't given Kleanthouse a brass farthing as yet, because a) I am not in the UK and b) because of the set up of the on-line shop is such that they want to charge me VAT and insanely inflated postage. Oh...and c) because he isn't he club, but instead a pseudo landlord paid by the RFL so as to facilitate the 3rd year of our licence that Hughes shouldn't have applied for if he was going to be an idiot and try and "negotiate" with the RFL again.
So...how much have you given the CLUB this year? Surely it's hundreds or possibly thousands of pounds more than me....because I can't (according to your idiotic guidelines) be a REAL fan

But you said you're not standing for it. Was that inaccurate?

No. I am not standing for it. I am making my displeasure known to all and sundry and have already said that if given the opportunity to ask Hughes what the he's up to I will if I make the Bradford.
Alas, I do not have access to the finances needed to dig the Broncos out of the hole they are now in. As I have said....in SL we had a chance of attracting money, but now we are in the 2nd tier, the only income we will muster is from the RFL's central fund, the owner and the fans.
I think Central funding will stretch to 500k in 2016......400 fans at 15 quid a pop for 15/14 games is 90k at best so without Hughes we'll have say 600k to try and compete with clubs that have more income and if we get lucky, we then meet clubs with a cap 3 times the size of our income.
Oh...hang on. the 600k is for EVERYTHING.......including rent etc to AK.......and without wishing to annoy the barnet fan on here,if each fan this year gave AK a tenner in income, he's already said he's not happy with the 170k he's got (not counting the RFL bribe)....so we could be looking at 33% of out income on a home?
It doesn't add up.......and I repeat, I'll ask Hughes what the hell he's doing if I get the chance. What I won't do is sit (or stand) there smiling in the hope that it'll be "alright"......because sad to say, it won't.
Just to clear something up BTW.....I have never accused fans who attend games of being sheep or fanboys. I have on the other hand accused those who repeatedly say "what can we do about it" those names....the supporters trust thingy tried (unsuccessfully) to fill a coach to Castleford and muster support (unsuccessfully) to help market the club on the tube and at Origin games.....I'd have been at all events, as I was in the past, running coaches and leafletting, clearing up after the Union lot so the kids could have a decent xmas event etc....so I believe I am entitled to have my say. If you don't like it, search for the ignore button.......or simply wait until this forum drops down to the next tier and I'll then be pretty much posting to myself

Basically you lied and are now trying to backtrack/cover up your lie with excuses or further attacks. You are the ultimate keyboard warrior.....and the irony isn't lost on me.

So despite saying you are not standing for it, all you are doing is posting on a forum you have admitted is not read by the club. You have heard of the phrase all mouth and no trousers?

I'm not GFs biggest fan (too repetitive IMO) but he's spot on here. You made a claim, couldn't back it up so changed the subject.

I turn up to watch my team, and get petty name calling from you for my trouble ("lemming", "deluded", "fanboy" are three that spring to mind).
It's bad enough that you clog up these forums banging on about people who left the club months or even years ago, but you constantly make cheap jibes at people who go to watch.
I will say again, I don't see how you can be a fan when you turn on the people who actually show up to support the team.
