There's no disappointment for you. When you support a big side you expect more and ultimately it's always 'what if/what could have been'. We've had SL winning seasons under Wane that many fans would dissect and potentially label as a 6 out of 10 season. I'm sure there's plenty of Saints fans our there smarting at the CC final loss - would Huddersfield fans be doing the same after winning the league in such an emphatic way?
Also Wigan wouldn't ever be in Bradford's position. This is a RL hotbed and even if we dropped out of SL we'd be back in a season - even if we'd have to play our reserves & sign a couple of journeymen. There's a passion for this club in the town.
Also sides like yours better pray that teams like Wigan, Saints or Leeds don't go down as that would be the end of RL in this country. You might not like it, but no one gives a t0ss about Huddersfield Vs Catalan etc, but they do wanna watch the big boys play eachother. Do you think Sky would pay anything like a going rate without any of the big sides? Could the same be said of a SL without Huddersfield? Like I said in my OP - you bring nothing to the table.
What a horrible, cocky, arrogant post, could only be a wigan fan writing this, i thought this kind of attitude of only wigan matter had left yor fanbase but clearly not.
Apart from Wigan and St helens we have brought more junior players into super league than any other club in the last 5 years, we have an excellent academy that is producing some great young talent and we do all this on a budget despite having been at rock bottom many times over the last 40 years, and never having to cheat thesalry cap to do it.
clubs like ours should be applauded for what we do and have done against all the odds but clearly were not worthy of being in the same league as the mighty wigan and leeds etc.....grow up
