Hate to say it but a final appearance should not appease anyone. Not only that if we were to get final.I really worry that Wigan could embarrass us.

Good job you're not obsessed like some of our fans are supposed to be. |

Let's just call Tony Smith and say we concede then. Save ourselves the embarrassment. |

| Quote: Hessle Roader "I wonder what Adam is thinking at the moment. He's invested a huge amount of money, but all he's got so far is a faint chance of his team appearing at Wembley. I really feel for him and just hope that he doesn't decide that enough is enough and looks for a way out.'"
I would think Adam is in it for the long haul as he's already said multiple times. I suspect he has a lot more stomach for it than some of the more fickle fans around.
As I said the other day there'll be thousands of us there next week cheering the lads on. We've got a performance in us to win it but there's no telling what team will turn up and that's what has to change to become successful. As for it not meaning anything unless we win it I wouldn't go along with that entirely. I think AP ultimately wants to win both comps but a visit this year win or lose might even be better than he had hoped for less than 2 years in. There's no doubt that were we to get there it would offer a big financial boost and help with the investment strategy we have. It would also rekindle some interest in the club. Of course he ultimately wants us to win things regularly as we all do but I think getting there this season would be seen as a step in the right direction regardless of result. |

Agree but I still think we are lacking size, so a big nasty go forward prop and someone who could change a game with the blink of a eye would put us in the right direction. |

Great post. Let's be right, when we have the annual off season thread about preference, should we win a trophy, the CC gets a lot of votes. A Wembley appearance would be a shot in the arm for the club, and more significant than finishing, say, 5th, especially financially. |

| Quote: rowdellhead "he aint no idiot i agree with him 100%, FC fans are very fickle it wasn't too long ago we had the LLoyd era and travelling 5+ hours to watched FC get their s handed to them by like of Workington. Yes our attack is poor but we are missing Horne and DJ, Miller is trying hard but come on give him a chance he is still a kid being asked to lead a side around the park.
Miller will come good within time i am sure of that, we are missing the two men that took on that good run Horne and DJ once back in the side i am sure we will see a different FC side. Lets get behind the boys because lets face we have been written off by everyone yet again just like in 2005, once we get over this semi-final then we can tackle the league.
All this talk about getting rid of Gentle is crazy talk give Gentle a chance just like the baffoon Agar was given, Gentle is having to swap and change his 6/7 constantly through no fault of his own. Injuries to DJ and Horne haven't helped, Tickle has been missing for months and is just regaining full match fitness throw in a stuttering start by Ellis and you can see why have struggled recently.
Get behind the boys not against them, if you feel some fans like Hallas or me talk poop thats fine dont go then we dont need need you there. I will be there at Hudds next week and the next game after that cheering them on, sing it loud and sing it proud #COYH'"
At last someone talking a bit of common sense I will be there because I love my club and am sure good times are not far away, if you doom and gloomers don't like it don't go simples but leave the rest of us to get behind the team the way proper supporters do then you can jump back on the bandwagon later |

OLD FAITHFUL PAL OF MINE: |
|
| When the results throughout the season are analysed, we have not been blown away at all apart from Leeds first up and Catalan away in the league. We have lost some woeful games to supposed 'inferior' opposition and for me our league position is unacceptable.
However, when the big games and big guns have come a calling we have managed to raise our game most of the time. We have given the current league leaders (Huddersfield) 2 good fights, we have given Wigan a bloody good go, we have drawn at Saints and we have beaten Rovers, Leeds, Catalan and Warrington. In short we have taken points off 5 of the 7 teams currently above us in the league.
We are like Liverpool in the premier league. Certainly not good enough over the course of a full season but when we turn up we can and have given EVERYONE a game!!!
I am very quietly confident..........

At the moment you remind me of wire 2009. Not in a bad way to the point where I am nervous about Sunday. That season was our turning point. We finished 10th if I remember correctly but won the challenge cup and that piece of silverware seemed to catapult us forward giving us the belief that we could win something. So back your team sing loud and proud and let's have a great game of rugby.
