Was just going to say the same. You're not the worst fans in rugby league, you show up in numbers and are ever-present, but gosh this forum is bipolar. One win and you're sky high, all the Radford haters were wrong, one loss and it's like the whole club is crumbling.

I didn't buy a pass this season, and I've already made up my mind I won't next.
I nearly went to last nights game and decided at last minute to watch it on SKY, I'm glad I did.
The stadium argument is futile, there is going to be no Haliwell Jones - we don't have the money, and there is no viable alternative to the KC. Someone mentioned staying at the Boulevard and upgrading that, but that wasn't an option either, we didn't have the money then either.
And in response to fickle fans/leaving early - how else can fans show their disappointment? They can't. Not showing up in one way, and leaving early after a tonking is another. Fans rarely leave early after close well fought out defeat, but leaving early after a pounding and a very poor performance is perfectly acceptable to me. Staying till the last minute last night then applauding is basically accepting mediocrity IMO? Last night wasn't even mediocre it was utter garbage.
Fans do have a right to protest, and the players, coaches and owner should be shown that what they have served up is rubbish, we do that with our legs in not going or standing up and leaving early.
And through all of this the biggest and most glaringly obvious hole in all of it is that AP hasn't installed a proven and experienced coach. He says he's tried everything - he hasn't.
Appreciate they don't come cheap, but maybe just spending a little less on the cap and using the difference to pay for a top coach, money talks and I'm sure one could have been found if the money was there. And a top coach couldn't but be motivated by the facilities and youth structure that had been put in place.
I said last night, was the result due to the players not being good enough or because they are not coached to reach their full potential? I believe the sum of all the parts should be greater than it is, which would suggest its coaching.
So, if you want to stay till the end an applaud that last night, then fair play to you, but it seems the majority are hacked off and making their voices felt in one of the few ways they can, with their feet.
That's not fickle, it's called being vexed off.

I think we have some of the best fans in the game. Throw in some muppetts which every team have. IMO anybody who pays has the right to go when they want. I am always in the half glass full group where some on here are the half glass empty and that causes a lot of the arguments. Hopefully next year we can regroup and get up the table. On the other hand lol

100% correct.
I don't know what's more boring to be honest. Some of our attacking play or the up when we win slag when we lose after the game mentality. I'm as fed up with the surrounding crap as I am with the on field stuff itself.

We have some of the most expectant fans, & loads of moaning fans you only have to sit at KC & listen to some sat around you! I admit AP shouldn't say we are going to set the league alight or we are going to Wembley every year, but we are far far away from being top 4 so the sooner these type of fans get this the better the KC will be for atmosphere at least, we are building for the future as all clubs are.
