Haha, no it seems to be endemic in the sport - look at the VT.
Seriously can't believe all the negativity on here recently, crowds are up, won the last 2, better position than we were last year, which in turn was a better position than the year before. Could have had more points but for that forward pass call vs Hudds, as others have mentioned.
Seriously, lighten up people - it's really not all that bad, yes things aren't ideal but they are far from the bleak, black picture some are keen to paint.
PS I notice people very vocal in criticising the club have been very quiet in supporting them by getting involved with club 1873 initiative that they posted on here recently.

Not the best time to be asking for people to go door to door asking people to join 1873 when the collector would be the one having to explain to disgruntled members why the cheque for the winnings bounced?

I've done with this negative thread, stand by every word i've said but won't continue with it.

Normally I'd agree but when Big Al and few others are saying it I worry. I also worry a little that neither TRB or IA are commenting on this thread.
Yep you'd think 8,000 v London would be a massive upper for people but the messages seem mixed.
I actually know nothing about the current club, I'm out of the loop and happy to be so - but I still hear stuff and it's not all positive sadly.

| Everybody want to here good news don't they? the club has tried to build itself on good news.
We have the biggest increase in gate numbers watching the club? if true why are we in the position of getting C.C.Js?
The truth is its is a very difficult thing to run a rugby club everyone knows that and yet when people want to help. Then see the comments that Richardson had to endure and now looking like glover has to is there any wonder local business men don't get involved?
Newmarket is the saviour and yet there is still a big black hole of finance that has to be found a most difficult task with the country in such a position.
the game is spilt from multimillionaires wanting to inject cash into their teams! and the rest of the league who cannot support what they already have !
Once the first years accounts were posted (2nd year due soon) writing had to be on the wall yet we were told by management and supported oh this is fine .
What is the answer? the only answer is more support from fans councils and probably the most likely avenue new investment if this can be attracted.

I spend what I can afford in the shop and support the club home and away (including Hull last night). Fans can only give so much, we've not got bottomless pockets!

Agreed FT.
Too many comments on quitting the 1873 and generally taking their bat & ball home.
The reality is that a club of our size does need every penny it can raise. So, instead of moaning about stuff, realise just how good a deal we all got on S/T and get some cash spent in the shop (s) and while we're at it, get behind the boys against Widnes and lets see if we can rattle some of the big boys higher up the table !
Come on Trin !

That's not really the point he is making is it.

So with this can we put to bed the Administration rumours?

Then he's not really talking to you is he.
Even then you are taking his tweet a bit too literally.
Lets see if the weekend brings the 2nd Mayan Apocalypse or just a home game v Widnes.

| Personally i think his tweet is right and wrong.
The supporters of this club have every right to speculate over its future, we've been doing it for decades and for very good reason.
If AG thinks the supporters right to ask questions is wrong he is arrogant or completely missing the point of what being a wakey fan is and has been for a number of years.
I agree more money needs to come into the club, i've been saying for ages that ST prices should be more realistic but sadly many supporters have got used to the discounted prices and to put them up too quickly the club would be at risk of being a victim of the discounted success and losing support it has worked hard to build up - a catch 22.
I like almost every wakey fan am very grateful to AG and also very grateful of the ammount of his own money and time he has put into the club, but do not think we will not question decisions we think are not in the best interest of the club or put the club in peril.
Supporters do not like to be taken for mugs and from time to time rumour turns out to be true...time will tell on this one, but god knows i hope there isn't any factual base to it and it is just speculation.
I hope AG realises we have as big an investment in this club as him and i hope he knows generally he has our support, i also hope he has a good handle on everything that is going on at the club and with his and our money.
Generations upon generations of family support and investment in this club means everything to a club like ours, tere would be no club without the supporters and there would be no club without AG.
May i suggest a new motto?
Together we are all in it balls deep - like it or like it not.
