We have all experienced these type of performances especially over the last few seasons. The problem is that there is no sign of any improvement in fact we appear to just be getting worse. The press are even referring to us as basically clueless and boring. I didn’t agree with our selection of the current coach but unfortunately it is now irrelevant because the squad we have put together will not be changed because it is too late. I think we all know what the obvious outcome will be relegation. The problem is that with the new corporate order the interest will be focused on SL more so than now. If supporters believe that it will increase the attendances I very much doubt it. We don’t market games now so I suppose we can hope this may change with a change of structure at the top. I doubt we will be full time and can expect a lengthy spell in the wilderness because let’s face it we wouldn’t be the first club who slowly faded away once relegated.

I’m ever the optimist and will get those same wobbles deep in the gut going to the ground . Admittedly they don’t last long nowadays and some games have been a hard watch especially when you see how we are performing and haven’t got a cat in hells chance of getting back into games that have gone away from us early in the match .But I’m waiting for that win that will shock the RL and all it takes is a team to be off their game or not take us serious and we get to string a few passes together without either dropping it or knocking on , and you just never know , and Leigh might just be that game

My thoughts exactly. 200 mile round trip to home games - full of hope on the way to the ground. I just think that they will (well, might) win a game eventually and when they do I want to be there. We might be disgusted with the performance so far, we might disagree with decisions taken by the board/coach, we might despair at the thought of what might happen to the club if we’re relegated. But, as supporters we only have one job and that’s to get behind the team at every match we can get to. I know there’s not much to shout about at the moment but talk, from some people, of stopping going to matches just accelerates the downward spiral. If the board does its job, the players do their jobs and the fans do their job we’ll be ok whatever division we’re in,

With all respect it is not the players job to advertise a game, it is the players job to perform on the field so that we will games which would help to boost crowds.
