The leicester comparison would be more like batley winning the GF than us

How so?

Leicester finished around 2/3rds down the top division last season, then finished top this.....

Are Batley in the top division??

no but john kear is like the rl equivalent of rainieri

Ranieri has a personality!

The club severed up overhyped mediocre dross for almost a decade and I have no regrets over any comments I have made. If the team put in half-d displays I will criticise, if they put 100% in I will praise.

This season has been a massive, pleasant surprise, but not ever the most blinkered, most optimistic fans saw this season coming. It has inspired the fans again and I fail to see what benefit there is from the usual suspects on here dragging up old posts and threads to score points and start disputes. This club needs every old fan, every disgruntled fan, every apathetic fan and lots of new fans back through the turnstiles to grow and be a consistent Top4 force.

Sorry already beaten to it. Widnes won that accolade at the start of the season by members of the press.

I don't think this was the point tbf. More the overblown dramatics of "this is my last thread, over and out" then a few wins later here we are. Thankfully.

It's not just a 'few wins' though is it, it's finally a complete change in culture at the club. We are digging in and winning games we wouldent have done in previous years, games like Friday that was in the balance at half time, coming back from behind against Saints. The team are more determined, more consistent, bigger in size and fitter. I doubt anyone would have stuck their house on us being top of the league this year back when we were plodding through dead rubber games last summer. Most predicted a boost from the signings we had made but not to this extent.

I can only repeat again that im not sure what benefit dragging up old threads and comments has during what is a very positive time for this club, apart from to flatter a few ego's on here of course...

Personally I think it's interesting to reflect on. I don't think anyone was saying we would be top part way through the season, that's true. Equally most didn't declare they were done with the club in an "over and out" way because they could perhaps see some positives in recruitment and academy investment rather than declaring the club's death. Your post was designed to be emotive, so it's a bit disingenuous to be upset when having said definitively you were done, you're quickly back when things turn round a bit.

But there are many, many hundreds of this type of 'fan' at every club, in every sport on the planet. It is not news.
It is however mildly amusing when the glory fan ditches the club when in turmoil, then returns when things look rosier in the garden and claims the title of lifelong, loyal fan again!

It's more the "over my dead body" style pouting speech and flouncing out of the office with a door slam like Joan Collins in Dynasty backed up by sneaking back in through the tradesman's exit for a party and ignoring the big death thing. Like Patrick Duffy's shower scene, although that was Dallas.

You are so dramatic yourself.

In the scheme of things does it actually matter if they choose to post or not regardless of what was said previously at another point in time when emotions were running high.
This forum is for everyone not just for the likes of you and your ilk.
We are performing well, playing largely entertaining rugby and mostly winning.
Why can't we just all get along and enjoy our current form without continued infighting, nitpicking and dragging up old pointless posts?

It does matter as if loads of others had thought like him and didn't buy a pass or turn up for games the club would have really struggled financially and it would have hindered our recruitment for the future.

It was a massive overreaction, as mentioned in that thread there were plenty of positives last season and lots to look forward to this year, but the poster went way over the top and was totally wrong.

Luckily most fans stuck with the club, those who choose to abandon the club in one of the most crucial seasons in years deserve some critism.

People mock Knockers but he still stuck with the club I and bought a membership.

So many unprintable jokes, so little time.

Are you enjoying our current form? You've posted nothing for five weeks whilst we've been winning, yet had so much to say after the Widnes defeat. Just an observation, could be argued a bit disproportionate. I don't think I've told anyone what to post, have I? If you're going to be as provocative as starting a thread on the death of the club and the end of your support for it, you should be able to take it in good part when you do a 180 IMO. Look how you slated me for suggesting we gave Radford some credit in the early part of the season. You overdid it accusing me of "gushing praise" (which you were called out on by others) but so what? Turning out OK so far which I'm sure we're all pleased about.
