Jeez, all of a sudden we want to scrap the reserves.... at least last night's performance puts the 'drop Murrell!' comments to bed. Move on, let's see what Saturday brings.

I understand folks frustrations and I know next round money is important but the big picture is the league. We need as many fit bodies as possible to get a shot at the top 4.

As far as I am concerned, Oldham first timers vs a mixed squad from us with an eye on TO XIII. I would rather win on the weekend.

Re: Oldham game. : Wed Mar 21, 2018 9:48 am  

Got the attendance it deserved with the pathetic ticketing policy/pricing and the result it deserved with the pathetic selection.All in the vain hope of top 4 which is clearly beyond this squad...

Re: Oldham game. : Wed Mar 21, 2018 9:55 am  

Don't know what the issue is with ticketing book online before save money...easy or pay on the day for a little more.
Everyone moaning about it can use a computer or mobile as they can post on here

£10 max all pay on gate,no fannying about with tickets/internet/collection etc or face the consequences...did more than 400 Fax fans bother ? decent sway of Oldham fans there.

Agree with this. My grandad has been going for 70 years and now has to pay a stupid amount to sit to watch fax. He lives in Bradford so can't just nip across to the stadium weekdays. He doesn't own a PC or have the ability to buy online so as a loyal fax fan he's one to lose out on the new stupid system and pays £17 to watch fax which quite frankly is disgusting, compare it to Fevs prices for OAP's.

I messaged the club and got the usual drivel reply. Quite frankly the club don't help themselves one bit and normally I take what they do with a pinch of salt but that really annoyed me. It's a jolly boys outing. Where all the money has gone from the 2 x top 4 finishes and especially the 1st time when we did well in the play-offs I'll never know.

If you ask me we are treading water and just keeping our heads above water. Our team seems to depend on a player who has come back vastly out of shape and when you are the clubs talisman to do that takes the pee to be honest. I also think we are putting too much emphasis on playing local boys at the expense of results, yes it's good but I don't pay £20 to watch a team of locals in the hope in 3 years we have a great team, people want results and performances now. Besides, any player worth his salt gets snapped up. Crowds are dropping and we have nobody to run the game if Murrell isn't playing and even then he's more of a pivot nowadays.

It paid off debts and a holiday and a stupid tv for a year

Tenner at fev last night.... on the gate!

Re: Oldham game. : Wed Mar 21, 2018 10:23 am  

To be fair, if I went to a game with my son, my father-in-law and a youngster, we'd pay £39 for pre-bought tickets to stand and £47 to sit. At Featherstone, we'd pay £47 to stand or sit. The concession prices at the Shay could maybe a £ or two less, but equally, a Featherstone supporter could be moaning because he has to pay £10 to take his two sons, which would only be £2 at the Shay!

I don't particularly like the pre-sales thing, but do understand why the club are pushing it (less cash to deal with, and saves money by needing less turnstile operators).

With only one stand open last night though, pay on the day would have been more sensible.

Re: Oldham game. : Wed Mar 21, 2018 10:52 am  

Last night was awful no matter what spin you put on it - a patched up team that didn't gel , having to sit in the East Stand and it was freezing cold , the real sickner is that we have missed out on a bumper pay day v Hull KR with a crowd of 3-3500 etc - bet thats cost us around £25K.

£20 on the gate whose bright idea was that!!!!

Marshall got it wrong - we'd better beat Toulouse now - im sure we will we all have to believe in the Marshall plan , sing karaoke and sink blue shots in pub LOL

Oldham were by far the better team last night and thoroughly deserved the win - i cant believe there are Fax Fans who think been outplayed by a team from division below us , missing out on the Hull KR game because it helps us achieve our top 4 dream - get a grip!! Wonder what theyd have said had Bradford Bulls done that to us last night??????
