I don,t know what excuses can be made today. We didn't lose due to poor discipline or to making errors or due to bad refereeing decisions. As far as I am concerned the reason we lost was very simple. WE WERE RUBBISH!

Mr Hicks - People will have an opinion that invariably will differ to yours. Does that make you right? I think you need to appreciate this is forum where rumour and news items will be discussed and debated. If you don't like this then maybe it's you that needs to avoid this forum.

If the club is not doing well, which it isn't, people will ask questions and comment. I agree that maybe some are enjoying this dip, but I would not put myself in that bracket. I'll continue to support the club whether in Champ 1 or the conference, but if I don't like something I'll say so. That just the way I am.

For the record, I heard the comment about the coach and have asked the question on the thread. I don't see this as stirring as I have no axe to grind. I felt is was pertinent given the continued comments about the club cutting its cloth.

Whats the point to these statements. If you have something to share feel free, but this I know something but not telling helps nobody.

As we have said on the 'A Quick Hello' Thread. Coaches cost a lot of money and, given that most of the team live nearer Dewsbury, Batley and Hunslet than they do Cougar Park, it would be financially inappropriate to fund a coach to carry most of the team a couple of miles only. For these matches only we utilise the minibus and players cars. For matches further away or where the players can travel to Cougar Park and then get on the coach, e.g. Halifax, we fund a coach. I don't see why this is unprofessional because for home matches all of our players turn up in their own cars so they are, by extension, more used to travelling to most games in their own cars. It seems silly to waste the club's money on a short hop up the road when the players are comfortable with this anyway.

Response sounds reasonable to me.

Thank you.

Anybody who say the state of Marchy's legs and the fact all the skin was rubbed off as if he had been playing on a cheese grater would understand his criticism of the playing surface straight after a game.

Yes he may have said he would like this surface prior to the match, but that was about the size of the pitch. He did make the error prior to the game of thinking the pitch would have had grass on it.
