CC games get poor attendances. That's a simple fact and it applies to all clubs equally.'"


TBh us and rovers have been the exception in recent seasons we have always had a half decent crowd in, like i said when everyone had to pay against sheffield and hunslet think we still pulled in around 7k, so with today being free to passholders to which we have 8500 ish thought crowd may have been bigger





































But then again it was sunday i forgot

i left the game after 60 mins today, first time i've ever left a game early in 20 yrs of watching f.c. i have watched some sh%te in my time but at least then we were expected to be crap so i was never disappointed! i couldnt believe the total lack of commitment to the cause from the majority of the players on the pitch today, the present board have taken this club so far backwards since 2005, please nobody try and tell me its just a bad patch and all will be well because if you think that then you are seriously deluded! whats the answer? f knows but until the powers that be become accountable and pull they're heads out of they're own backsides then i'm afraid things dont look good.

It's amazing what a bit of bad form will do. 5 games in and the club could do no wrong.

We don't need a "major shake up of the board," we are a Grade A club, but because the players are making errors and not playing well the "board is a joke". icon_rolleyes.gif

The fact that they won't spend money is a myth, in recent years we've seen them sign Crocker, Berrigan, Dykes, Sing, Blacklock, Swain, Smith, Barnett, Kearney. All of them are/were on massive wages. However the money isn't necessarily spent in the right areas, it's clear that need a top 7 and although Crocker is a great player he was a luxary purchase and the money spent on him would have been far better spent there. However, surely it's the coaches job to identify the targets and then the board go and see what they can do?

As for on field, there's a lot of talent out there, but for some reason they just aren't firing. We've seen what Thorman is capable of against Bradford, but at the moment he is just going through the motions, he doesn't attack the line and when he gets the ball he just gives it straight to the next man, or if close to the line, puts in a poor kick straight to the fullback, is it the coach that tells him to kick all of the time or is he doing it because he doesn't think he's capable of doing anyhting with the ball in his hands?

We have a pack that tries hard, but with the exception of Manu we don't have anyone who can consistantly bend the line and put us on the front foot, but thats fine, theres plenty of teams who have packs like this, however these teams don't try to play straight down the middle like we do. Look at Castelford for example, they don't have a pack that can particularly boss a game, but instead they look to get out of dummy half quickly and get the ball wide, and they have a lot of success from it. We just go straight down the middle and get bitched time and again. We need to change our game plan to suit. Another thing I noticed all last season and it's creeping in again is how poor our line speed is. Even if you're not the biggest there is no excuse for not being the most enthusiastic, we need to get off the line quickly and stop giving the opposition 10 metres before they reach our line.

I think alot of the things I've mentioned are down to confidence. We weren't blowing teams away early on but we were comfortable, and then we came up against Castleford and it was a game that we probably didn't deserve to lose and so to have the game snatched away from us as it was really hurt the players imo, it was like a throwback to last season, and today the side really looked as though it was lacking in confidence. We just need to find a win somewhere and we will do okay. We are certainly good enough to make the playoffs. I fancy our chances on Friday tbh, but I just hope the players react well to todays disappointment and that they want to put things right, I hope today hasn't hurt their confidence even further.

I agree with the Brother. We do need change and it needs to be at the top.

That today was horrible to watch. We played one man rugby all game, including in their 20 metre zone! It was shocking! We don't seem to learn from the mistakes we make. Do our players even know what they're doing wrong? Because they don't seem to try and change things that don't work.

I wouldn't mind knowing what goes on in the coaching department. Do they use technology to analyse performances? Is it good enough? Do we have sport psychologists checking our players over? Because we seem to be able to either be consistently good or consistently sh*t!

The thing is, I think we've got some really good talented individuals at this club, and at times they can play really well together. But they seem to be clueless at other times as well. There's something wrong up in the control room and Agar needs to find out what if he's going to get anything out of these players, otherwise we're just gonna fall onto a slippery slope again.

All the other teams got freebies as well. What were the attendances in those games compared to season ticket figures?

Really? So just how many people attended our games in 1999?

Kear was appointed by the board you loathe, was he not?

Thanks, that's the best laugh I've had all day, you mean Kear the man that the players refused to play for in 2006 got us to that GF? 7.26171875:5
