I intend to take a Towell because I am completely fed up with the team, coach club and everything, and if I hadnt paid for a season ticket I wouldn't bother going at all.
It's not childish making your feelings known, sitting there taking it and clapping them off time and again when they have played like tripe is the silly thing to do.
Think towels are only a few quid in wilkinson...'"
You are being unfair to tripe the dish of yorkshire our lot are not that good more like week old Jellied eels left in the sun, Looks crap, Smells crap and you would not want to pay for it

Nope - afraid not. Even if we get nilled, and lose by 100+ points in front of a crowd of 250 the Towel would still be in a job on Sunday morning

| Powell is being interviewed by Rammo on Radio London this evening. Don't know if he's inviting questions from listeners but you could try if you want.

| The interview was recorded this afternoon I believe.
Feel sorry for Ian Ramsdale...must be difficult coming up with anything positive to say about our team (hence he broadened the spectrum of the programme to encompass all London and Southern RL.)

Don't forget silly shouting from the stand such as 'go on robbo' and 'go on dicko'. What cretin started that?

Well, I suppose that's his brief. Broncos certainly don't merit anything like an hour a week at present.

Yeah, and messages from both Gutters and Barnaby, one containing an unbroadcastable word.
Programme just added to my depression. Only thing that I got out of the Powell interview was his opinion that a win could turn things round. Well, we've had 4 wins this season, all against poor opposition, none of them changed anything and I can't see that even a win on Saturday against the worst SL team, apart from ourselves, is going to be any magic key. Just look at the following fixtures, I can't see any win in the offing except maybe against Leeds if they're really in freefall.

Frankly, after listening to that show, I feel even more depressed than ever. Powell rambling on about "fans should see us at training" just about sums up how out of his depth he is.....

| Have you considered that he may wish to say things that would be unpalatable to the fans, players and owner? Should he say something like, "Gowers a miserable get, Robertson doesn't want to be here, all the young Londoners are way out of their depth...Rodney should have stuck with the Bull riding and all the others are a load of old crocks". ?
TBH, there's not many on here that would be happy with anything he said other than "I resign" so he can't really win.

Dan I respect your viewpoint BUT 4 wins in a year is getting a bit much and you know how much I care! I can't think of anyone else in professional sport who wouldn't have got the tin tack with that record.

| I know PP and you know how much I care. I'm just making the point that no-one would be happy with anything he said (other than those two words!).
I find it hard to believe that if DH was in a position to be able to make changes such as getting rid of RP, then he would have done so. Either that or he genuinely believes that RP is the man for the job. Neither scenario sits well with Broncos fans.
I just really don't know what to think anymore. A lot of our fans are angry...I am just sad.

| I'll be there for the game...
I won't be bringing a towel, it's just repeating the same message but in a different form. The club reckon they read the boards, they've not acted as most would like on the message being sent, so why should a dozen or so towels being thrown on or towards the pitch make any difference
I won't be bringing any friends/colleagues/aquaintances, why would I want to show them the dross that is being served up?
I won't be wearing a Broncos top, they didn't have them in my size when I tried on a few occasions. Neither will I be visiting the shop to see if they have them in yet (have they announced that new stock is in yet?), there is no pride in wearing that shirt yet, but I live in hope
What I hope to see is a closely contested game played by two teams at the wrong end of the table, what I hope to see is a Broncos win, but what I really hope to see is a lot of effort, a great team effort, and a lot of pride in themselves
Will I get it? Here's hoping
