Well it wasn't text book rugby and there was frustrating baggage but it was Penky included a damned sight more exciting style.......centres and wingers getting passes in open space......I can but dream on down country miles............zzzzzzz.........

Seriously all I want is the right mix of style with the pendulum back somewhere in the middle .......which probably means Lee Greenwood has to face the wrath and have more influence on KH . Would he have enjoyed playing on the wing this year standing about waiting for passes that should have come but never did because the half back did the inside pass yet again?

Wingers have more chance statistically of scoring from retrieving a kick than from a pass nowadays anyway !
Plus, they have a lot more work to do out of dummy half on the speed sets pulling away from our own try line, but of course he's playing centre nowadays anyway.....

i get so frustrated with these types of threads. you can criticise all you want and some always do.(generally the same ones always do) Matt Calland was hated on this forum but all of a sudden he becomes a hero and now Karl who you were all shouting for when Matt was here becomes the villian

We won the NRC but apparantly thats not really a cup to some of you (its actually one of only two things we can realistically win!) we won more games than we lost but thats boring really boring with last minute wins against sheffield in the league, Batley in the League, Keighley in the play offs. We get badly beaten at the end of the season playing with just about eveyone who is fit including at least one who shouldnt be playing, and its like chickin licking "the heavens are falling in" "its the end of the world!"

What do you guys want Fax to win every game 50 nil? thats more like games in the Super League! Wont happen in the Championship, the teams in our league are better matched

So because we are not in the Grand Final lets not rush to get a season ticket! Thats a really great way to support your Club.

Why do we(the BOD and all the staff behind the scenes) bother putting time effort and lots of money into this Club?. . . Lets do a Bradford !,. . . . Perhaps then some of you might value your Club

I have worked as a volunteer at this Club for the last 8 years full time but with threads like this I could happily walk away! and should you feel like cricising me now please feel free to do so I shant be reading this forum any more

if its the same people saying the same crap they do on here mike then why are you biting at it? i and others see and feel where you are coming from as we feel the same but replying like this under the clubs name doesnt help us as a club.it doesnt look good biting at fans with an oppinion and thats all they are. no matter what the club does it will always have em (as all clubs do) and they would also say its boring if we did win every game 50-0.

as for season tickets i will want one but what i will say is we cant as a family afford a rise on them just because of the extra 4 teams so it will be interesting how they are worked out. right now there isnt a massive incentive to buy one as if u miss a game then you lose out and might as well pay at the home games which is where people only end up going to the big games.
to me getting a season ticket with it working out 4 games free would be a massive incentive but you guys are the experts and pushing the club forward and making the club a profit so i will wait and see and accept its been decided on whats best for the club

Re: SIGNINGS FOR SEASON TICKETS : Wed Sep 26, 2012 12:59 pm  

I despair.

Tony Gartland walked away from this club. Do we really want the "Mikes" to do the same? It IS the same miserable bleating people who are never happy unless they're bagging the club. Some of them do sterling work for the club though - collecting and fundraising! Which makes it all the more frustrating.

It's September and we have people saying they're not buying season tickets because Leigh and Fev have signed a couple of journeymen! FFS!

Meanwhile, as these people pi55 and moan over the last three years the club just gets on and wins trophies.

Sorry Mike, I started the thread and i stand by every word i said, I pay my money in advance in the form of my season ticket to watch entertaining rugby, Its not about the score its about the entertainment value that i pay for. This year was Boring one man rugby and i think the majority or posters would agree, its about value for money for the time i spend there, and this was the general concsensus of people around me in the south stand. However i am not speaking on behalf of them, it was my opinion.

If you also want my opinion you make a rod for your own back with " the next big signing " only to not be a Big signing in most peoples eyes. Penky has not made his mind up rubbish when all and sundry knew he had, it would have been better to say nothing. I'm not critising the work you do, you do a fantastic job and posted a £20k profit last year. However people are fickle and if you want a surge and uplift like the club keep asking for then now would be a time to announce some "star" signings to replace those we have lost.

Biting at a few ( and lets be honest, we who post on here are only a few ) Loyal supporters for having a opinion is rather a silly thing to do, we do come to most home and away games and purchase the shirts and dining packages etc, but dont let that put you off your defensive rant for us having a opinion

Also i dont see anyone calling Karl a Villian or Matt a hero, I do see people posting about the contrasing styles of coaching that we have seen being played this year and previous years and comparisons being made. I personally found the rugby more entertaining under Matt, However as the opening post says, "i will give it time to see what happens next year.

If anyone wants to pass it onto Mr Riley feel free.

Re: SIGNINGS FOR SEASON TICKETS : Wed Sep 26, 2012 1:22 pm  

Sometimes the style of rugby is frustrating. Sometimes it's inconsistent. Sometimes we get matches like the NRC final which was a perfect performance. Many many times we pull our hair out at the brain farts the players come up with.

As the last poster says - it's all opinion but some comments just aren't helpful. Some people just seem happy to constantly moan. Personally, i have LOVED the last three years. Loved the finals which bagged us the trophies and loved the last minute crazy wins.

Go onto the Castleford, Salford and Widnes boards. The usual posters on the Widnes board have all but left. It's grim reading.

Re: SIGNINGS FOR SEASON TICKETS : Wed Sep 26, 2012 2:17 pm  

Yes, the season finished on a disappointing note, but the squad was down to the bare bones, and had been for a few weeks. The lads looked tired, but without the injuries we suffered I think that a bit of squad rotation would have come into play and we would have been a lot fresher.

Also, without knocking Penky as he was a great player for us, just how much of an impact did the announcement that he was going have? Did it have an influence on the way his mates played, and did it unsettle any of them?

At the end of the day, would we rather see a competitive Fax year in year out, due to the hard work and fiscal prudence of the BOD, staff (paid and unpaid) and coach, or have a situation like happened at Barrow where money was no object, rules were broken and it all came crashing down?

Keep the faith everyone. We have a BOD that care passionately about the club, not just today but for 5, 10, 15 years down the line!

Re: SIGNINGS FOR SEASON TICKETS : Wed Sep 26, 2012 3:01 pm  

I demand we sign Robbie Farah, hes the only person capable of filling penkys boots.

Totally agree, Mike. I used to contribute on this BB but got fed up with the same old whingers whinging about the same old stuff. If we went through the whole season dropping just a point they'd focus on the point which was lost. Nothing but mindless drivel nowadays I'm afraid - the only reason I check it out is to get some "hoped for" advanced info on possible signings, but why do I bother - they're even wrong with that the majority of the time!

Keep up the good work, Mike. I'm sure the "silent majority" appreciate the effort that you, Karl, the players and all those connected with the club put in.
