But i seem to remember the bad usually outnumbered the good. Often a lot of our good times were when we were not at the top table. i feel much happier with the good times now.

Oh yeah I can remember the years we finished bottom of the table and one year where we won something like 2 games and that was it.

I remember going into OT that game, so many cocky Hull fans on the way in, so bitter on the way out
also remember our injured player schofield lifting the cup up to the admiring hull fans on the lap of honour lol

The main reason that I personally do not go to as many away games now as I did in pre Super League days is because we always played on Sunday afternoon. I always took a coach to the like sof Widnes, Warrington etc on a Sunday afternoon. We had a breakfast on the way at Oldham (ask Amy Victoria what she thought of the burned Beefburgers she ate). I ran trips to Swinton, Hull, Salford & Wigan where we had a meal before or after the game. When you work until 5.30pm in Bradford - to get back home, get to Town to get on the coach and then get to the game for a pre match meal on a Friday is impossible.
That is a group of around 50 Vice Presidents who don't get there now due to Friday games.

i am with stuart on this one. friday evening KOs are a nightmare.
I can understand that for some teams they are good for HOME fans and for younger supporters who just link the game in with their weekend drinking they are quite attractive.
BUT they are not conducive to those with families, people who are working, who travel from out of the area or those who have reached a stage in their life where they like to do things at a slightly more leisurely pace.
saying that having the evening KOs does give me time at the wekend with the kids which keeps my wife happy but also means that i cannot take them with me to games.
