What makes it even worse, for me anyway, is the fact that despite winning all that was on offer last season at a lower level, I don't remember a single game where we played well for 80 minutes (I will happily stand corrected?). We just wore other teams down and not always successfully either. Our Away record was still mediocre. I hate the clamour for McRae to pay but we have ranged from average to shocking throughout his entire reign. The fact that at this point he clearly doesn't know what to do and is resorting to asking us, is very worrying.

I can not say hand on hart since he as been in charge that the rugby as gone crap and we are back to where we was before karl harrison was in charge. What concerns me with the franchise we have we are supposed to be getting more fans through the door. These stats will make the supporters they have now will start to walk away and they will loose a load of fans inthe process. they need o act now and get rid of both simms and mcrae. If they are going to improve so that fans come back through the door

What worries me more than angry supporters is the general feelings of apathy amongst the die-hards. The Club's rock-solid hardcore are starting to feel like it's all a waste of time because we are not seeing even a little progress over many seasons. Rome wasn't built in a day, but they eventually built it with brass Knobs on! Currently it feels like we are trying to build a Rome but are ending up with Barnsley...

The new ground is fundamental to our survival and growth. The three years grace without relegation is our biggest Godsend, but if the Club continues to make little progress, especially on the pitch, I fear the worst for our wonderful Club...

Butcher - you've hit it right on the head! There are quite a number on here (me included) starting to get really disillusioned, but not becoming Mr Angry - I posted on another thread how I feel, but to sum it up, no-one expected miracles, we did expect some degree of competition, and that we just have not got

Was he definitely coaching for that game? I thought he had just arrived but didn't coach that game.

On a seperate note, on the train over yesterday we were discussing that Huddersfield have now won 8 SL away games on the bounce, having first remarked that we didn't manage 8 wins on the road last season (in NL1) we then calculated back to see how long we would have to go to reach our 8th Super League away win. We calculated it as the win at Widnes in April 2005

Thanks Prestwich red pretty conclusive!

Butcher! you have hit the spot & this is what the club should be worried about, once us die hard start saying enough is enough then we are in real trouble, I read a similar post saying the same from billybradshaws mum.

As said previously I go with at least a group of 10 supporters & meet up, last week not one of us went & I bet the same this week, how long before we start to drop off at home! We are all season ticket holders.

You hit the nail on the head, we know we are going to get tatered against all and sundry, I pointed this out to anyone who would listen against a very average wigan side who looked like world beaters against us. My fun now in the apathy is beating the bookies handicaps and that is betting against whatever is the salford plus... ...... AND IT'S EASY!!!
