Well said Kosh....dont forget this is the bloke who claimed after the cock up with Thackery that he wouldnt go again yet turned up at Wembley...is he the biggest sheep going?

As for passes...sure,im re-newing mine for these reasons.

1- Been a fan for 35 yrs...not going to let a play off defeat stop me from following the team i love,.

2-cost of a pass is very very good.

3-very good seat in a superb stadium.

4-Have seen a bloody damn site worse that this and coaches..( Gordon,Casey and Walsh spring to mind)

5-Im a sheep...baaaaa baaaaa.

I'll be part of the flock next season.

Ewe wool?
So will I.

Fantastic off the field. Rule is a good guy and does an excellent job. There is no way in the world that anyone that wants to make money would sink their savings - or worse borrowings - into any sports club and certainly not a Rugby League club where the scale is too small to make anything worthwhile but where you could still easily lose your shirt. The people running the club I'm certain want success , love the prestige and would like the adoration - ok gratitude - of the fans if they could turn the team into winners. I just think that they are just not getting the recruitment right. There have been some major clangers in the recruitment and retention of players and coaches which have compounded each other and further compounded by our injuries and "bad luck". I've said all season that I can't see that we will make progress from here and fear that this year was in fact a bit of a pinnacle. We've got a lot of players who will be older and more tired next season , some with question marks over their form and health with just a couple of youngsters who we can have really high hopes for. Other teams that have at least looked better than us this year and some that are better look to have improved for next year. Without any signings it looks like a long close season and a long and tough season next year. The board will have their work cut out to engage this fan and persuade me to renew my pass rather than pick and choose my games.

In many ways I applaud the board for wanting to create some stability in terms of the head coach and not making knee jerk reactions etc but they really haven't picked the best man for the job. Fair enough they gave Agar a chance but he just isn't the required standard for a top 4 club. He MAY be in the future but as all his coaching skill/experience has come from failed coaches at this club I don't see how he will improve. Next season will be very difficult for Agar as we will all be expecting us to improve again but i can't see it happening without some big signings.

The club have not been in the mix for the trophies for 3 season. Why is that??? Is it due to the quality of the coach/coaching staff and/or the playing staff?? What does the club need to acquire better coaches and/or players??? OUR MONEY that's what

So we can all get our disappointed butts down to the ticket office for the season passes when the time comes and I will see you all there again next season

Have a happy winter folks

Arguably 4, we went out of the playoffs in week 2 in 2007. Wigan went straight out the week after beating us as well.

I know some directors have in the past been paid for consulting fees, I have no idea what happens now exactly. The term golden goose has been used by many fans over the year simply because many of them know we pay over the odds for most things.




I don't have any sort of personel axe to grind and as you have no close knowledge of me I can not see how you can comment. Those who know me well enough will tell you I do not bear grudges or have axes to grind its too time consuming and is damaging. I hope the club makes money it a good thing for the long term future of the club, but I do feel they have underspent in certain area's like coaching. The cheapest option has long been the only thing the club knows whet it selects its coaching staff.




Where do I call fellow supporters sheep ?

Where we differ is that I have always tried to respect my fellow supporters views, its an internet chat room and many people have varying views. I have always respected that and I always will. if some one has a pop then I reserve the right to fire back. I still buy passes for my family and I will continue to do so. As for snearing distain,you do not know me so I would be careful using imotive words like that. I shall continue to attend games when I can and where do I state that I or other should boycott ?

Another assumption ?

I give you the opportunity to put the record straight about the "sheep" that was you calling fans sheep not me.

By the way this sheep has never been "herded" out of a stadium for bad behaviour that today would earn them a ban from the entire games stadiums .

That may be true but spot the plural in the word trophies......

We were in the Challenge Cup final in 2008

So perhaps arguably only 2.....

That last paragraph wasn't aimed at you, Ian.

Maybe they could use some of the profits to swallow the VAT increase and leave ticket prices frozen for next season. £24 to attend a match is too much as it is. Another £ would be a big psycological barrier for some.
