Biggest load of UTTER RUBBISH I have read on here......Get yourself to the RED side.

To be fair if the club were still at the Boulevard we would probably average around 6k a game, the club is in an enviable position of having the best facilities in the game stadiumwise so there is some logic behind what The Brother is saying, we should have everything else in place off the park regarding their own player facilities instead of commuting around all over East Yorkshire what seems to be cap in hand. The club had long enough to get the Boulevard upto scratch for what facilities they needed but signing off that elusive cheque to go towards any available grant funding never materialised. I couldnt help but be impressed when they focused on Wigan's facilities on SKY the other night. Hull FC do an excellent job in using the stadium facilities itself to their advantage but thats it, take the stadium away and would SL really want 2 clubs from Hull in the league? I even think that KR have beneffited from the stadium, not by playing there obviously but by the way the stadium itself has helped raise the profile of FC and the game itself in the city.

Blooming Heck, Smallie, 24 hours is a long time in your life....



...that was you rallying the masses only last night!

Who is this 'we' you keep referring to ?

who let victor Meldrew out?

Well, he's good for a laugh at least.

They certainly aren't. Worth that much, anyway. And damn that pesky council!




Hear hear!

I don't know the bother personally, but I know who he is. I know also that he has been going through thick and thin and supports the club. He wants them to succeed. He just sees what is wrong. As do many people.
He is right in this in my opinion.
It is so easy to blast people as being negative, but you cannot look at the world through rose tinted specs, cos life is not like that. He has a point, like it or not.

We can do em wormy! Come what may, training ground or no! (I think we will lose like. but hey ho!!!!)

It's more the "we" and "us" bull that's annoying.

People who post that kind of stuff without understanding the reasons are the blind ones, no one else.

Ah the old 'rose tinted specs' boring diatribe. It's so easy to blast people as being positive.

He is wrong in this in my opinion.

Sorry Brother but I just don't know where all this rubbish about the cap comes from. How do you know how close we are to the cap, you don't know how some players deals are structured or what they earn for a start. We have some issues at the club but you go overboard with your criticism. It actually seems like you have some personal issue with the club that clouds the way you think.

The Brother has a couple of valid points though. The club has had plenty of time to sort out training facilities and they are now rushing around trying to do something that they could of done yonks ago.

However the bit about inexperience is rubbish. Iest and Barry have not coached at SL level before so Crusaders have the most inexperienced

It's fair comment, a happy medium is required. I agree with his sentiments personally. We simply must have circa 200k on the cap left, I cannot see how we cannot. Berrigan must have been on around 130k, and unless we are paying silly money for Phelps then he cannot be far wrong with the 200k assessment IMO.
