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, that stopped me in my tracks as well!! It came across as frankly bizarre!!!
Almost as bizarre as Rick Astley doing an entire set of Smiths covers at this year's Glastonbury, think it was in one of the smaller tented stages, not on the main one.

| 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
