Got a few responses of Batley fans from tonight's meeting.

Jumped into bed with Sheffield.
Both us and Eagles are horrid clubs.

And my personal favourite:

We cheated and won. #DoggyStyle

Batley fans have all been nothing shirt of a disgrace through out this whole DR scandal. Nothing surprises me from them now.

Really Josh worthless post if you ask me thought tonight's meeting was about trying to get a response from the RFL or even force them to respond not to start a little hate campaign against other supporters of the game

Not trying to start a hate campaign, just thought we'd could do with a giggle. Apparently the jokes thread wasn't a suitable location.

EDIT: This post was to back up John Whaling's point from earlier this evening.

I suppose you always get the ones who shout loudest who get heard and their comments are usually ill-informed. I think most of the proper Rugby League fans are sympathetic to us. Don't forget in 1995 it was Cougars AND Batley who fought together for the right to go into Superleague.

Again this is uncalled for, a small minority might have posted rubbish but come on pack it in now

Spot on Len ...

Daft comments about other clubs aren't going to help us , ...the whole argument is about the RFL's ineptitude , not the clubs involved ..

Petty name calling isn't appropriate ..

Josh, just rise above the stupid comments from the (small number of?) Batley twa&s

In retrospect, I think I used this post to vent my frustration.

Especially after one Batley fan was adamant the RFL strip me of my media accreditation and fine the club.

Your opening post does you nor your club any credit at all. Of course you are frustrated, but l looked at this thread believing it do be about my club's response to the issue, not one that posted a very small minority view from supporters who may or may not be typical of Batley supporters. The second post is sadly just as much out of phase as the first.

It is a shame some Cougar fans are trying to alienate any sympathy other supporters have for them.

I wish them luck in persuing the RFL but not a spiteful vendetta against the several clubs who have cocked-up with DR.

The second post is true, sadly.

May i just add the ones i have seen on message boards and such.

Throughout the whole process I think the club (and fans) have conducted themselves with a great amount of professionalism and respect. I think Gary has even gone public in views that Batley are not the enemy and may have made a mistake, like many other if the stories are to be believed. The issues have come about because of the RFL mis-management and failure to adhere to there own published rules. Why an official from our club would resort to posting such items is poor and sadly reflects badly on the club. As far calling a minority of Batley fans is again poor form and a sad reflection to be honest. Maybe some learning to take forward.

If some want to call us, so be it. But to resort to this is not the way to conduct our business.

Perfectly put. Josh you are going to have to be more careful and let the case take care of itself. Make yourself bigger than them.
