By the way its 'Belle Vue Conservative Club Ltd', now I may be wrong but I suspect it has no actual affiliation to the Conservative Party anymore even if Conservatives still meet there.'"
Its not the affiliation with a political party, its the drab decor, smoke filled entrance ways, meat raffles, numerous gammons and terrible beer that puts me off

Well done on derailing another thread. Now, stay on topic or you will be gone again, but for longer this time.

Why doesn’t South Stander do anything about it. We all know whenever it crops up again, can’t be that hard to press the ban button.

You know when someone uses the term Karen or in this case gammon you’re dealing with a middle class pre pubescent who’s done a drama degree at one of the poly universities. They are desperate to be part of the London cosmopolitan elite or even better a racial minority but don’t have the relevant qualifications or the ability to leave their own bedroom.
This is his world, one of the few places he thinks he can throw about his glib woke nonsense and his blatant racism.
Gammon is a racist term in every sense of the word. Hard working, law abiding, middle aged white men who are conservative (not the party) by nature, t’s very specific. It also covers most of us on here and it’s highly offensive. It’s in every way the equivalent of coon, a derogatory term for black men.
This poster should receive a life time ban for using this term. He won’t because the mindset these days is whites are fair game and somehow aren't afforded the same considerations as all other groups. Just because we have the numbers and thus a perceived privilege doesn’t make the use of the term acceptable.
RL fans needs to ban him for this alone, zero tolerance to racism includes everyone or nobody, so which is it I wonder.

| Agree wholeheartedly Vastman. I frequent the ‘Con’ club on match days and the clientele are mixed . Men and women from varying backgrounds. I too resent the term ‘Gammon’ being used to belittle a section of society. Actually using it demonstrates utter hypocrisy and contradicts what the users purport to believe in.

| I don't think we quite need the outrage. I don't think it was intended to be a racist slur. The phrase is often used in mainstream media rightly or wrongly.
But the point stands. Keep to the subject of the thread.
Poky, as always, as a guest on here, if you come on just to wind Wakefield fans up, that priviledge will be taken away.

Not being funny here as, as thing stands your post doesn't make much sense, you mention Brough presumably you think he was a bad buy, well we can all be smart with hindsight, but prior to him having got injured I nor anyone else had a problem with his signing.

| Early indications are that Brian McDermott is interested.
He would personally be my number one choice with what seems available. He’s been a winner and enjoyed good relative levels of success at his clubs.
Further to that he appears a strong coach who would have no problem whipping the team into how he wants them playing.
I guess there is a few candidates so we will see.

He would be my first choice too.

I didn`t have a problem with his signing, I was actually in favour of it but there is no doubting that with his age and him slowing down the couple years before he was a big risk, in a key position and took up the budget, there were plenty of posters on here that posted that at the time. In the same vein he could of been a huge success, as I say its a risk, some work out some don`t, it`s all in hindsight as you say but some signings are riskier than others and Brough was a big risk that didn't pay off IMO.
Nobody really knows with signings, I now try to avoid getting too excited or too negative about any signings, Anthony Tupou springs to mind as one I got very excited about we all knew how that turned out and then you have signings like Kirmo, I mean who got excited about that at the time? Didn`t we get him in a swap deal with 2 or 3 other players? Then out of nowhere he was probably the best second row forward in the league for a couple of years, anyway I`m going down the garden path into the wilderness on this one, too much caffeine this morning
