Quote: Wellsy13 "So the consensus is no -the squad isn't good enough as there are better squads out there. Good so when we don't win anything again-don't call us bottlers as the consensus is we aren't good enough to win anything. We have been accused of being arrogant and the rest - We at the giants have put up with languishing in the lower leagues for decades playing in front of 400 spectators. We lost a generation of supporters who didnt agree with the move from the old fartown ground. We were promoted to SL last minute when paris dropped out without the benefit of time to build a squad -we had a championship squad in the SL and got trounced every week and as a result no one wanted to sign for us and spectators couldn't be convinced to watch a losing side. And so we lost another generation of supporters. The rfl were desperate to keep us in SL for the stadium even though we wanted to be relegated to enable us to rebuild. They forced a merger on us which resulted in more supporters turning their backs. We have built our supporter base up which has doubled in the last half dozen years, we have gone from the whipping boys to a solid side in a relatively short space of time. Most of the supporters on here have gone through all that and frankly get p****d off when we still get c**p of supporters from other teams who still witter on about lack of trophies and poor support (which is actually now comparable or higher to the majority of teams in SL) now I expect the sarcastic aww bless remarks etc but I just wonder if your team had gone through what our s had in the same amount of time how would your trophy cabinet/ supporter base look?'"

In all fairness, you can't argue with that.'"

Not if self-pitying bo1locks is your thing, I suppose.
