Is vitriolic abuse at the end of the match classed as good supporters??


If so, take a bow Fax fans.

Exactly Lee, I quite agree!

Faxfan I resent your sentiments above really. I've watched this club for 30 years home and away but answer me this do I currently want to waste petrol money and admission money to watch a team that appears to have little or no motivation . . . . . . The answer is NO. I too will not be going to Batley or Leigh and wasting £60-100 quid of my hard earned dollar when the players show the fans little or no respect in terms of there effort on the field. PRIDE is all I ever ask for and this team is currently lacking in this and other areas. Does that make me a poor fan? With 2 kids, a preganant wife and an uncertain economy I choose my leisure spending wisely and this team currently does not give me any value for money.

What I resent is how fans such as yourself come out of the woodwork when we loose a few games. I cannot remember seeing you on here for months yet as soon as we loose you are on here like a regular.

Fans like me Nat? - Don't behave like a petulant child. I have a right to post as and when I like and the tag moderator under your name does not give you the god given right to dictate when or how often I decide to post on this board. I will post here when I feel like. For your information I look at the board everyday but people like yourself put me off posting with immature, irrelevant comments such as yours. We have lost 6 out of the last 8 and I chose to vent my feelings after the Sheffield game? - Get a grip son.

I agree with Chris on this, if a team can't put the effort in, crowds will tumble.

I think we are probably pretty much back down to the die hards in terms of fans now anyway. We had probably gained an extra 200 or so this season who will now disappear

Wont help that hudds are in the cup final, would be very easy to jump on that bandwagon at the minute, especially if they win it.

I'm sure we met in the club shop last year, and I'm pretty sure that you are not as old as you make out.

Lots of other people are in financial strife as well, mate. And, I'm sure that they also pick and choose where to spend their hard-earned.

And, as for having a bash at Nat; is he not allowed an opinion just as you have with your rants on many threads?

Yes James we did meet in the clubshop and I was born in 1974 and have been taken to games and supported the club since I was 5 so you do the maths. I have no problem with opinions BUT I do have problems with a personal attack such as "Fans like you who come out of the woodwork" I find that insulting.

If you're that sad about the recent four losses, I don't expect your life to take such an upturn that you'll be at the GF when we play there in a few weeks time.

It's only four losses of rugby matches, get a grip....

What on earth are you on about Colin? I really don't understand your response to my posting to TS that you have quoted.

To tackle the bit about "Just 4 Losses" I think just looking at the forum there are many people disappointed at the sheer way the team has collapsed in recent weeks.I'm disappointed at the durge that has been served up in recent weeks. I am disappointed but not just about performances on the field right now. If you read my posts you just might see where I'm coming from.
