Goodnight Irene : Thu Oct 24, 2019 3:32 pm  
After the news that Joe Keyes, Elliott Minchella, in particular, have gone, also Milnes and Storton, this is my last ever post on RAB. I am 100% done with this basket case of a club. And probably RL as well. I can't face watching yet another massacred team starting yet again from scratch, and in pitiful circumstances where we will clearly literally offload absolutely ANYONE, without exception, you only have to ask and they are gone. And I can't stand any more of it.

I also have serious doubts if we won't slump into the admin mire yet again, but frankly I no longer care. The club I cared about has died, and should just be closed down and put out of its misery, instead of this death by a thousand cuts.

To say I am gutted would be the understatement of the century, but enough is enough. I have the memories. They will have to do.

Anyone interested in a Premier Club ticket and car parking spot, PM me.

And that's it. Thanks for the conversations guys, it has been good.

Very sad FA and I can appreciate how you feel. I genuinely do not know what I'll do next year but I lost a lot of love for RL and the Bulls a few years ago.

I think I'll let some of this drama play out and see how I feel in the new year. I feel sorry for anyone who bought a season ticket expecting a decent side to watch.

And that's why I want the club to die. I can get my money back and spend my Sundays ignoring the clusterphuq that RL has become...

Pollsters doing Excellent job - say recent polls.

Thank goodness RL is in enough rude health it can allow a current fan base of 3-4K and a latent fan base of thousands to just drift away...

You are part of the fixtures and fittings. When people such as yourself and Bullseye have to walk away then it truely is a sad state of affairs.

Re: Goodnight Irene : Thu Oct 24, 2019 4:39 pm  
Sorry to read that FA

I'm kinda on the cusp myself. As of right now, I think I'm pretty much done with Bradford Bulls. Certainly I have no intention of buying a ST, or - most probably - going to any games next season. I really cannot face going through another iteration of 2017 again, then slowly building back top for a bit - only to have that generation of young talent picked off when we end up back here again in 18 months time.

And I feel pretty sure we WILL be back in the mire again in the future - after all, there is ZERO reason to think that the current 'consortium' has got the financial clout to do anything other.

At best we will limp along as a glorified Academy - producing talent for other clubs, whilst never being in any position to enjoy the fruits of those efforts ourselves. Instead it will be lower end of SL - Huddersfield and Hull KR et al, who will continue to benefit from our repeated mismanagement. That, to me, doesn't feel like a cause worthy of investing in with time, money and emotional energy.

I'll probably hang around RAB, at least for a while, because... well... it's got a kinda macabre fascination :twisted:

Sorry to hear FA. I hope things sort themselves out enough (I won't hold my breath) for you to return one day

Sorry to hear that FA.

I’m not quite there yet but don’t know how much more it will take to put me off for good.

What a sad state of affairs ( the last 10 years I mean)

Surely anyone who has purchased a season ticket or a car park ticket should be entitled to there money back, it’s a bit like a miss sold pension if you excuse the pun,anyone who bought there tickets prior to this shambles should get their money back
