Currently PC Plum, Brian 2, Jaybs and Mickey1234 together with Bostwick and a couple of others are closely following my posts in threads that have nothing to do with "on-field" activity but a whole lot to do with the future of the club. Their attitude that "there's nothing we can do" is typical of a group who now go to games purely for each others company and to "stand defiant" rather than in any actual belief that the club will ever see SL again. That's a clique!

It's not a cop out to call them a clique, because that's what they are....they attack anyone who dares question the validity of anything the club does in total belief that "it'll come right". There is more chance of me winning euro lottery than the club being allowed to but 10,000 seats at Trailfinders, but they lap it up anyway.

I posted a caption comp picture that included some of the clique and it attracted nothing but ridicule. It was noted on the same picture on FACEBOOK that we used to take more to away games. At some stage the penny will drop......Hughes is not and will never be the solution to the problem that is London's Premier RL club....but those hardy souls gathered around a bed sheet with Hendo's Barmy Army are living the dream and they don't care about the missing 4,000+ fans. The same 4,000+ dans were worth about 780,000 a year in income at the stoop......we've sold 64 season tickets for next year......there might be one or two more clique members in there that aspire to be blind devotees to St Dave of Swinton and he doesn't care about the lost 780,000 in revenue because he has his merry band of followers.......

I didn't say they were a clique because they disagreed with me, I said it was because they seemed to follow me into threads that were always going to be negative.....that is a clique because they are seldom alone!

Well, so says you. Let's leave it there. There is no clique.

Goodnight or morning for you.

I confirm i will no longer follow your clealy "negative" threads, but actually you turn every thread into a rant about Gus, Saint David, and endless stats about how many fans we have lost etc etc.

Can i be clear - i do not believe David Hughes is the answer, for the last time i agree with you totally that the club has been appallingly run, trailfinders is almost certainly not the answer and terrible appointments have been made. But i am not delusional.

i like rugby, i go and watch union, fall asleep watching football - and love RL. So i will continue to go and support them, whatever you think.

But i promise - i will no longer read or respond to any thread you begin......

Thought this was a thread about the Fans Forum, when we had moderators ( a long time ago) I was given an official warning for going off thread?

Maybe the mods have given up!

Ok fair enough best leave it there then. We have all got our strong views I suppose and I think Ive expressed mine on the Hughes front quite forcefully you might say. No doubt though when the time comes I will end up eating my words and turn up for a number of fixtures.

The option of attending Broncos away games could enable watching the team but with no compromise on the Hughes front? Hopefully still see you at the odd home game.

Yes I will defo be at Blackpool or wherever Summer Bash appears at.
I suppose attending will prevent you and Willow from nagging me.

One thing I cannot get my head round is the Sunday games issue. According to the note circulated by LBSA part time clubs (especially Cumbrians) would be unable to travel to play a Saturday fixture.

Firstly this just isn't true. Skolars have had to play two Saturday evening games this year one of which was in Cumbria (and led to a return to London at 3am)! If they can do it why can't some rather more established clubs. Featherstone and Sheffield have in recent years often played on a Friday evening which is hardly away part time team friendly either.

Secondly why are our fans less important than opposing teams. The fans have previously voted that they prefer Saturdays and we will be in the ridiculous situation of playing somewhere where the local public transport is shut on a Sunday. If I was minded to attend for me this will mean now a round trip of over five hours rather than under four hours if I am still living in the same place (as I am off to smock and straw country it will be more like seven hours). I cannot believe that most of the remaining fan base won't be similarly effected.

Thing is Sarf when you ask fans about game day they split pretty well 50/50 between Saturday and Sunday. We got this result at the end of the 2014 season when we did our supporter survey.

Thanks for the clarification. My memory on the issue is clearly faulty (although I still think the excuse of the heartlands clubs being unable to travel on a Saturday is nonsensical!)

At least Skolars will hopefully be playing on Saturday. No clashes .
