| I have been trying to get my head around whats happening to RL in England... so I decided... whatever the outcome of Tuesday[i 'I'm Out'[/i
I posted this on the VT and the clarity was there until the RFL comes to its senses and starts running the sport like a sport again there will be nothing but tears, arguments, bitter recrimination.. and the old values of tough, hard conpromising but fair play will be lost... probably forever.
Quote: "everytime I read through these threads I despair...
the Rugby League Family is being ripped apart...
divisions and fractures are being created now which will take generations to repair... if ever.
I have loved RL since the moment I first played (age 11 at Manygates school 1971) I have been a regular spectator since age 14... played until 40, coached 2 development teams in the midlands, sponsored and mentored where I was able...
but finally... I've had it!
Stop and think what you are all doing, from top (who are managerially inept) to the clubs who are lost in self interest, to the jouros who can barely string two coherent sentences together, to the agents who see the new world in dollar value and sod the consequences, to the players who have massively over inflated self value and ego, to the fans who see the opportunity for unconsequential mischief and yobbish attitude and behaviour.
The whole bucket of crap stinks...
so to those who are granted franchises.. work bloody hard and remember; a town/ city lost their SL club and people lost their jobs, so you could have one, remember the kids who will grow up not knowing what it is like to follow your local heros to Wembley.
and whoever gets the chop on Tuesday, you have my sympathy for their is no way back... to those who lose their jobs, to the parents and schools in the catchment area who will no longer have support... to the generations of potential RL fans and players who will be drawn to nearest soccer club.. to the Grandparents who will not be able to take their grandson/ daughter to watch the game that they grew up loving.... why?
because we have totally lost sight of why we first loved the game... and we are creating a monster'"
My fave moments as a fan... 79 semi v Saints, beating Saints at home to avoid relegation, beating Leeds 47-0 at home... Visiting 'multi coloured swap shop' at belle vue before Trinity played Barrow, playing Australia at Belle Vue.
Worst moment... now!
...so in the annals of time I have been called Tank, Andyt, Spook, Underground and ultimately Spook 2011... so from all of those goodbye to all friends and adversaries... and good luck with your lives... love ypou all goodbyeeeee

| Support the name, support the shirt & badge, support the tradition, support the players. You dont have to give two hoots for the people running the game or even running the club.
Next time you're down George Street nip in to Dymocks and get a copy of George Piggins book called Never Say Die. You'll find out what sticking with it and fighting against the odds is all about and i guarantee if you read it in full, you'll be inspired.
They didn't want South Sydney, but South Sydney never gave up.

| Or why not support the team (and city) and just stay off of the forum. A few months away from the doom and gloom on here and you should be able to get back to just enjoying watching rugby again

| the whole system and the game in general stinks football has its faults but the likes of Rochdale and Rotherham are not banded from the Premiership if they ever get there the whole system is turning supporter against supporter
It’s the only sport that is hell bent on destroying its fan base where it is the strongest just look what the years without any hope have done to Featherstone, Dewsbury, Hunslet, Workington, Oldham, Whitehaven,
Bring back 2 leagues bring back promotion & relegation bring back the September start and the May finish with the CC Final being the end of season showpiece and then bring back the international tour to NZ and Oz Get the Aussie and NZ touring sides back over here playing 3 tests 8 games V the top 8 and Yorks Lancs and Cumbria.
Bring back the County Cups as a pre season warm up

Feline, I am annoyed about the situation and have made nowhere near the selfless contribution to the club that people like you have, so can't begin to imagine how you feel.
However, if this great club of ours is going to survive the drop down and have a chance to try and get back to the top table, then we need the likes of you, TRB, Sandal Cat, The Clan (and others) to stick with it and continue contributing to the great work you have been doing. The rest of us need to do our bit as well via the Supporters Trust, squadbuilder etc..
I want us to make it hard for the RFL to deny us a return come 2015 - this club has always fought adversity and we need to continue to do so.

| One of the things that really sticks in my craw is if we go down and then through lots of hard work by dedicated staff, investment by the owner and unselfish support from volunteers we get promoted as a stronger club the RFL and a number of fans will say that it's all down to being defranchised and regrouping in the Championship.
The truth will be that being knocked down a division will have served only to hold us back for three years or more and undone much of the good work and achievements of our community Dept etc.
We will have to come again from a position much further back than where we are now.
Sycophants will bask in our resurgence as if they've achieved their goal of making us better with their bad medicine.

Norman Stanley Fletcher was in prison at the time. The championship isn't quite that bad!
