I have watched Fc since the fifties my first game was at Wakefield a week before the Cup final ,remember getting free tickets for the Wigan after clearing straw and snow of the pitch which we laid on to watch the game and seeing the great Arthur keegan break his collar bone tackling Billy Boston. Have some great memories and hope i live much longer to achieve many more .My point is the big difference then and now is the fans ,who were not afraid to voice an opinion were nothing like some fans now who at the first chance moan and in some cases talk absolute rubbish.I would never stop supporting the Club but reading and hearing some it makes you wonder if your on the same planet and wonder if my passion takes over from reality.The Rl and the match officials are ruining our game the latter being the worst bunch of incompetent, gutless officials to ever to blow a whistle.I can take losing but without doubt they do have a great bearing on the outcome of some games none of them referee to the same rules.This is spoiling the game and after almost every game the topic is the official and that cannot be right and the RL sit back and do nothing. I hope we got out and hammer Leeds on Friday and get to Wembley again and get the monkey of our back.

When your main TV sponsor keeps airing a fck1ng meaningless womans HOCKEY match than sooner put on the Super League match at it's allotted time.....THAT SUMS UP THE STATE OF OUR GAME AND IT'S POSITION OF IMPORTANCE.

Why the hell should we bother.

no subway.. talking about all the hearsay and personal comments made at players coach ect..we all want to see our team do well ,we all have opinions what others dont agree with but some go over the top

oh right, no I don't like all that personal abuse to players and coach either.

Sorry to read that your stepping down your FC Voices duties. Youve done a cracking job and i know how hard youve worked on stuff, a lot has come off and not been fully recognised and on the other side i know how much banging your head against a brick wall there is in there too, some big shoes to fill in your absensce.

Thanks for the nod on the Cash Cow stuff, ah the good old days and even the threat of legal action, all in the name of the club we love.

As for being a visionary, ive been called quite a few things in my time but they normally begin with W not V

Catch you Friday if i get chance mate

Welcome back Wilf and thanks for your efforts. I feel rather sad reading the diary as it pains me that such a loyal supporter as yourself feels distanced from the club he has devoted his life to. Like yourself I've been following them since the late 40's and have suffered the bad times and enjoyed the good ones and whilst we'll never give up on the boys on the field, you do suspect that we're not regarded in the same light by those responsible for our team or indeed those responsible for the game as a whole. I sincerely hope that, as you say, everyone turns up in large numbers on Friday to cheer the team over the line and 1 step nearer to Wembley. We really do need something for the loyal fans to hang on to. Keep fighting the fight mate.
