For me the last year we were in NL1 was a real dull season. Turning up expecting to win and taking no joy from winning. It was as though there was no effort involved both on and off the field. Infact the GF was the only game that got me excited.
That for me was how it must be to be a saints fan. You see it in there attitude to everything with the club.
I'm sure people will disagree with me about this but I want us to compete, win a few things but not dominate completely. A sugar daddy could provide this if one ever materialized.

The structure of the sport now makes it difficult for any individual club to dominate entirely. Saints for example haven't won the League since 2006. I agree that malaise amongst fans can set in after a sustained period of success, desperation more than anything make fans passionate, but I think it would be a long time before that happened at Salford. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than seeing us win the League and Cup double 10 years running and I'd get even more enjoyment going around the Rugby League rubbing it into other club's faces.
