Since Fulham started in 1980 I've missed certainly less that 20 and probably less than 15 home games. This season is the last straw for me and the last 3 have been awful with no attempt by the club to do anything about it. There is no other club in any division of the Rugby League that would just carry on as we have for the last three seasons. It was quite obvious last season that Powell wasn't up to the job and it's been proved this year as nothing has changed even with the influx of so call 'better players'. The fact that he is still in position proves to me that the club is content to continue in the downward spiral to extiction. Because that is where it will end. We've had bad seasons in the past at Chiswick and Crystal Palace but the club had a heart then with a group of dedicated supportive fans. This management give the impression that the supporters just don't matter. So there 32 years of supporting RL in London for me is drawing to a close, I will not be renewing and the season can't end soon enough.

As the Leeds fan said to me as I was leaving the Stoop early last match , 'Don't blame you mate, we're rubbish and we'll still put 50 points on you, God alone knows how many Wigan will win by when they come here!'

Sports teams etc are the only franchises where the true fans are more loyal than the owners or staff. People get divorced more often than they switch their favourite club. We'll all be back.

Cheer up everyone only 2 more years and there won't be a Superleague club in London.

The club are putting in a good effort at making sure nobody cares by then.

Still think I might though. I'll be there next year.

So, 42% of the 36 people allowed to vote will renew if we have a new coach, but 50% of that figure support Listers view that they will renew whatever the price or coach, guess the biggest concern is the 50% of that number who will not be back again regardless.

They should be the target audience the club are addressing right now and trying to retain.

What are we talking here, a Groucha Marx plastic specs and tash job?
Seriously hope you get this one wrong Mark, got to be the tin tack and see ya later, go see the RFL for a cushy number. No reason whatsoever to keep him around unless you want to reward total failure.

My view is that David Hughes is thinking like a Trader in that the value of Rob Powell has bottomed out but if he holds his nerve that he will see a rebound upwards.

I see him as a kind of Nick Leeson in that he has invested too much to pull out, gambling in a haphazard way, maybe in a Martingale system.

I reckon Tawhai and Powell were told their respective fates about 3 weeks ago because Powell has been much more critical and negative in his interviews than before and Tawhai has quit.

My guess is that Powell had played the role of Martyr and that Hughesy is soft enough to have swallowed these tales of woe and gelling tales and give him charity

Not a Q of whether or not people will come back, its how often and whether they commit to going to every game

Good man. PaRL...see you at the HAC sometime in January.

The good news for us is that in 2 years we will probably be too ancient to make the journey across London anyway (and we won't be able to see what's going on in any case).

The truth is that most of us will be there next season, we are masochists after all. But at least we can threaten that we won't buy.........what else can we do?

Oh Lister thank you for the offer of help for my allotment. Do you want to pay the rent or buy the seeds about the same cost or just turn up and dig it over. It may be better for you to dig it over it will cost you nowt.

Location is perhaps a bigger factor than coach for me. If we stay at The Stoop, I'll probably renew irrespective of coach (and will renew if I think it's someone with the capability to take the club forward) but if we move across town, I reckon that'll be it fo me.

I'm not sure there's an answer to this question, but why does being a fan (of any sport) mean you have to suffer and put up with bad times? I completely accept supporting a team and having colours on a mast, but I go because I enjoy rugby league. It would be fine if I could just enjoy the opposition but I'm in a Broncos shirt, and frankly even the Leeds play wasn't that good, Broncos were just that bad.

If I'm not enjoying going and being at the ground, why should I part with any money to do so? I said in the 'what do you want to see in the 2012 season' thread before the season started that as long as they play well I'm happy - it's more important to hold your head up than to win I think.

That hasn't happened, and if the tickets go up in price next season or it looks again like there are going to be matches at random grounds, a whole heap of different times and general messing around I will have to think very seriously about whether I get another season ticket.

Oh and a new coach who seems passionate and engaged. Someone who looks angry when players play badly and openly relishes the chance to get his team up against the top clubs in the game and have a go at them.

Can't give up just yet but something better change culture wise at the club. Must have a new coaching set up for next year.
