Quote: Smokespot82 "No need to feel bad at all mate. Even though we both love our game and our respective teams, our clubs are in different worlds and have totally different parameters. Just imagine how you felt when you won the SL crown last year, or all the Cups/Titles you've won over the years. Now imagine that feeling when you've just watched your team win a nationally recognised cup for perhaps the first and last time in your lifetime (if previous success rates are anything to go by). Near impossible to explain the feeling at the final whistle at the NRC final last year. Made all those years of watching us lose to Oldham St Annes in the Challenge Cup in front of 450, nearly going bancrupt, being denied a rightful season in the Stones Bitter Championship, and a bit more, all worth while.
So for a club of our size and stature to get a coach who has spent the best part of 15 years coaching at the top level, and taking lesser fancied clubs to the plays off and winning the CC (no dig meant at Wigan) against all odds, represents not only a sign of how we've progressed in the last couple of years, but also a bl**dy good day!
We might only be a small bunch, but we are definitely passionate. If your ever in White Rose country on a Sunday in summer drop in at the Mount for a game, im sure you'd enjoy it. '"
You almost had me believing you meant every word then,
