Makes me sad. : Thu Mar 31, 2011 10:23 am  

It makes me sad actually watching sky sports now and seeing the cameras at Widnes, hundreds of fans all at the mercy of some blokes in suits in an office, theres no romance in the sport now at our level, sport should be about sport. Look at football and the minnows like Blackpool and Burnley who earned the right for a fairytale journey into the top tier, even if its for 1 or 2 years, our sport doesn't have that anymore and its quite sad actually as that for me defines what sport is all about.

So true, that's why all other sports fans just laugh at us. Phil Clarke talking tripe on Boots N All last night about how P&R didn't work so franchising is the way forward. rubbish.
Nigel Wood tried to make Fax all US razzamatzz with Blue Sox - Didn't work and has now tried it with franchising.
Somebody needs to kick that idiot out.

I also remember when fans got excited about a game not a bloody announcement.

Exactly, it's just wrong. Imagine that drop goal in the final meaning we went up and was worth millions. Its ruined it as a sport for me.

He looked sort of embarassed to be reading out the announcement, almost as if they drew short straws in the office to get the task.
