If these lifeblood fans are so enraged why has HISA not got thousands of active members all chomping at the bit to challenge the club on all these issues that are so dear to them ? No disrespect to anyone involved in that organisation whatsoever but why isn't it active ? Hasn't it already been said on here that if people are so minded why don't they get off their arses and do something about it ?
Maybe it's because there are not really that many fans who feel 'slapped in the face' by the fact James Rule has a fortnightly radio show on a station affiliated to the club he is CEO at. Maybe instead the majority of fans are not particularly pleased with the way things are on the field and know the main reasons for that have been poor recruitment etc, but looking at the club as a whole things could be a lot worse.
As I said before if you don't like what Rule says don't listen. Until 5 or 6 thousand fans vote with their feet and/or set up a serious protest group then I'll remain sceptical that this huge 'lifeblood' following feels so enraged by the situation. The lifeblood supporters I know have seen it all before.
Who said anyone is enraged? I was merely saying that rule's orchestrated radio show is the club thumbing their noses at the fans who keep the club going.
If by "lifeblood" you're referring to the hardy 4000 or so who have been around since the early 80's then they (myself included) unfortunately won't be enough to pay the bills if they were the only ones going.
I know you see things throgh B&W tinted specs but if you took them off once in a while you'd see that good PR, marketing, good relations with the fans, success on the field and financial performance of the club are all intrinsically linked and the club are falling down in key areas here.
You know I'm right but you won't admit it of course
