Quote: Fc Til I Die 316 "I have been an FC fan all my life...my family have going back 4 generations. I have experienced the very highs and lows we all discuss on the boards regularly.

Recently i have found myself wondering how the club has come on in the last 20 years and if we really have any grounds to worry at this point.

I have to say no not at all. Going back to the dark days where we were broke, unrecognisable as the FC we love and reluctant supporters in the ground. i Believe we have changed for the better

I believe that a run of 3 Major finals in 3 years is amazing and even though we have dropped off the pace, so to speak, i believe the signs are there for FC to thrive both as a business and a club in the future...if we get rid of a few key people in the club (we all know who)

The fact is that FC fans are the best in the world (along with drovers i have to say) the city as a whole loves rugby league and our attendances are showing this.

All i can say is keep the faith old faithful fellow supporters and the glory days will return once again!'"

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD FAITHFUL!:31986.jpg



Quote: .West is Best. "We are not in a position to panic at all, on or off the field. We are joint 5th in the league and 4 points off top spot, without playing anything like our potential. We have had two international backs on the treatment table all season so far and they are due back very soon not to mention an international forward (Luaki) who hasn't arrived yet. We have some of the most exciting and promising young talent in the game. Briscoe, Houghton, Burnett are future England stars for sure and Tommy Lee is also starting to show what he is capable of.

Off field we have an A Grade licence which secures our superleague status for 9 years at the very worst, and we getting record avarage crowds and merchandise sales year on year. We are also just about the only profitable club in Superleague.

However because we aren't throwing the ball around like the Harlem Globetrotters and racking up cricket scores every week people will always find something to complain about I suppose.'"


i agree. just thought i would let people know how i felt

Club seems to be in very good shape, I would like a top coach and a top SH but other than that I would not change too much. We are developing good young players, we have excellent attendances (3rd best), we have an A license and despite all the moaning we are joint 5th and 4 points off 1st place.

Pretty good summary. Stand by to be called a blinkered idiot.

We are in far, far better position on and off the field since 10 years ago.

We are far better off the field than 5 years ago.

We have gone backwards on the field in the last 2 years.

Slight changes are needed to get us challenging again IMO.

As a business we are doing very well - if our business was making pork pies we would be the best in the world as we produce the same old cra1p week after week and we make money - but we are in a different business than that its called sport and entertainment.

On the business side of things you have to congratulate the club on the playing side of things we are boring and predictable - yes I have seen the bad times and its not enjoyable but we where broke as a club and we spent as much as we could afford and at least tried to make things better.

We al know what we need but they cost money (proper coach and good half backs ) yes we have an A class licence which will soon be a B class licence unless we improve on the pitch

How many points out of 10 is grade A ????

If it is 9 or above, we will probably lose our grade A in 18 months time when we lose a point for not having an average finishing spot of minimum 8th.

11th last year = 8th this year would mean minimum top 5 next year or lose a point.

pressed = instead of +

11th last year + even 8th this year would leave us needing minimum 5th to keep the point.

Would 8/10 still leave us with an A license ???

Yes, but 8 is the lowest score that gets an A and tbh I don't think we need to worry. We have to avarage 6th for this year and next and I think we are easily good enough to do that.

I think you are all missing the point - we have an A licence

but our style of play warrents an F

all the time we have 37 average brits in the squad we are doing ok and we can tick a box - our club is like the government we dont perform but we are great at ticking boxes

I totally agree which is why I was asking about the points scoring because if we were to lose that point (which I think we will) and ultimately lose the precious A license, maybe it would mean our board being forced to improve what we have on the field instead of just worrying about what goes on off it.
