| No Dantes i got no problem with people putting there views on here even if i dont agree with them the only thing i would ask is to think first some of the stuff i have read is just total and utter nonsense. I am in a position that i do know how the club works and what sort of budgets we are working with and so it makes it even more frustrating that people with no insight post stuff on here that they know nothing about. One last thing i would say to anyone demanding JW should go is be very careful what you wish for! Also if you show me the queue of investors wanting to get involved in the club that may be a different story. In the meantime why cant people enjoy the fact we got a new stadium and a 3 year licence.

And why is that I wonder? Is it anything to do with the 30 years of crap we've had to put up with?
Just a thought.

We don't have to put up with anything. We choose to.
If I had the time and could be ar$ed (on topic!) I'd quite like to see how many clubs have outperformed us in the last 30 years (on field success and solvency) and how many have either vanished or sit in a far worse position than we do. I've often thought we were over-achieving by existing in the top flight. It's all relative I suppose.

How on Earth do you equate your posts with being "left-wing"?

Understand what your saying, but we've had so many false promises throughout the years. Yes we've survived mostly in rugby leagues top flight and like you say that is an achievement, but we've rarely been competitive in the top flight (well since I've been alive anyway) and I'm bored of being the laughing stock of Super League. Its frustrating and bloody annoying going to a game knowing your going to get beat or turning up at a game knowing that there will only be a crowd of 3,000 there. All I ask is to be a competitive team in the top flight, look at Castleford and Wakefield for example, ok they've had a couple of seasons in the the lower leagues like us and have struggled in Super League in some cases, but both of them teams have also been competitive more times than we ever have, both have finished in the play offs more than us, both have had better runs in the cup than us. The point I'm trying to make is why can't we? All I hear is we don't have the money, resources blah blah to compete with the top teams and I agree, there's no disputing that what so ever. But do Castleford, Wakefield (Well maybe more so now) etc have the finances to do that? No, but yet they always seem to be more completive than us.
As for having a choice whether I go or not, well maybe I do. But just because I'm fed up like many others it isn't going to alter my choice. I'll be there this week against Widnes and I'll be there in 4 years time when we're not in Super League playing Gateshead away

i totally agree with you. Castleford, wakefield, huddersfield, warrington, hull KR, have all had around the same finanaces we have been working with at some stage and their no laughing stock. They've risen above us vastly especially warrington huddersfield and hull kr. Wakey did go to the wall at some stage but they seem to have come through it and have a decent team folding havind seen them against widnes.

Sheffield
Gateshead
Leigh
Widnes
Halifax
Paris
Workington
Crusaders
Swinton
Oldham
Featherstone
...the list goes on of clubs who have had around the same finances (or greater) than us who can't currently claim to have risen above us.

| Suggest we stop this argument now: we seem to have it on every topic no matter what it is. The fact is that two GOOD posters are leaving.
