cartoons/WB17.gif I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011.
Money doesn't talk it swears, Obscenity who really cares, Propaganda all is phony.
I'm the son and heir of a shyness which is criminally vulgar.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.
A man who lives in hell can still aspire to heaven.:cartoons/WB17.gif |

Yeah, I was there for that one as well. Think it was around the time of 'Thieves Like Us' if I recall.
Can't remember too much of the night (39 years ago, my God!!!), but seem to recall they were in a far more relaxed mood than they had been that night at Tower. Mind you, who wasn't in a bad mood when they were unfortunate enough to be spending an evening at The Tower (not exactly the finest advert for the fair city!).
They were my favourite band throughout the eighties and saw them numerous times during the decade in various places. Like I said earlier, you were never sure what would happen with them from gig to gig, usually dependent on their mood.
I think they relaxed a bit post Blue Monday as people began to view them as a band in their own right as opposed to the oppressive weight of being Joy Division part 2 in a lot of people's eyes.
Like the True Faith quip, nice one, God knows the patience of some us on here is being sorely tested this week!!!

| Quote: UllFC "One thing to keep an eye on, just read an interview with Tony Sutton explaining IMG will look to use attendances from stadium safety officers as well as looking at long term crowd data to suss out any fiddling.
Worrying for us as we count tickets sold whether people attend or non. I reckon there was in reality only 7k there on Sunday and if we don't buck out ideas up we can easily slip below the 7.5k points threshold'"
Don't all clubs do that?

I'm sure we'll be fine. The attendances have been poor for the last three games but just a bit of on field improvement and hopefully a bit more good news with regards recruitment and investment and the figures will rise again.

| Looking a tad more positive than 6 weeks ago.
Smith and Gene jettisoned
Mega experienced serious NRL head coach appointed
Gaz Ellis brought back
Marquee signing in
Quota spots being freed up
Obviously there's other less positive stuff (Hardaker for one) but if we keep bringing in players incrementally better than those here, add a sprinkling of quality like Asiata, and continue to develop the likes of Martin and Charles, the medium term outlook is definitely improved v 11th April.

I'm pretty sure that deal ended when the lease was renegotiated a few years back. There is never a large amount of empty seats in the west stand that could be these mythical ones
