We're quietly heading towards mid table obscurity. Ssh, don't say anything and no one will notice it. Does the club really, really, want it? Doesn't feel like it right now

Yes it seems that way, we are currently being deafened by Tony Abbott's silence.

I keep hearing all sorts of stories about mr Abbott & his life away from the rugby club, it's nobody else's business as i see it but i don't feel as though he's got such an interest in the club any longer. I wonder if it's connected with the failed purchase of the stadium ?

You don't need to send anyone to Sydney Roosters to see how things are done.

And that fella has by all accounts left the club and taken all he has learnt to the Bulls! Hope we didn't pay for his trip....

It's easy to assume that isn't it? Did he just want the Shay or did the plans he had for the club revolve around owning the shay and using the income from it to further the club? I'd like to think it was the latter.

Whatever the case, it seems our expectations as a group of supporters are being managed by keeping things on the down low. I think Rich is right. We are no longer a big club. Still, is there a play off for the third eight?

Sadly the club is dying a death. Harrison has taken us to the lowest point In the last 5 years and it's starting to spiral out of control. I have another dining package booked next week for my birthday with the family and if I could cancel I would. Sadly it seems the club don't care anymore, so why should I. Proper ticked off I am, I've converted the wife into a fan who comes to every game now, but sadly I'm no longer bothered in feeling vexed off every Sunday.

The club have no ambition what so ever and are proving this year on year. Deathly quiet.

I've gone for 30+ years, longer than I care to remember as I feel old. However a mixture of the playing style, poor coaching, lack of penetrating marketing and some pretty appalling emails I've had from the club make me currently feel I'd rather find something else to do with my family. Had the option to go yesterday and chose not to, which is a first. Honestly didn't miss it one bit. I don't personally feel the club is in good safe hands right now but that's my opinion.

Come on boys , seriously the 2nd spot is still ther for the taking , I love Fax , and your Fans , great banter , good ground , good matchday experience , get behind your boys and show them you care , Fev are very beatable these days , I know what Fax can do when they decide to play Rugby , your season isn't over by a long way .Charlie knows .

Re: Featherstone V Leigh this Sunday : Mon May 05, 2014 9:01 am  

Charlie, I don't feel as though I should give a rats ass when the club clearly doesn't. The only marketing we seem to do is what feels like some sixth form project of " your club needs you ". Videos.

This season is the biggest in the last decade. 3 games into the season we already start getting excuses from the coach and the club saying other clubs are spending big and it will be Hard to compete. Seriously!, such inspiring words from a club with ambition. Not.

Bring back Hall and Calland and tell Tony " ten thousand " Abbott to bugger off as he hasn't done anything for the club, we were better before.
