Do you honestly think you have been hard done to with this? Marwan didn't declare payments and the Meli thing more than likely did happen.

These case were heard independently not once but twice and it was agreed that you were guilty and the punishment was fair. I feel sorry for the fans but don't let this smoke screen blind your eyes. The failing to run the club in a fair and professional way and attract investments and increase the fan base is the issues, however if you want to hang onto this idea that RFL are out to get you feel free.

I feel for you, all small clubs want a money man to step up and turn out clubs round. However trying to discredit the ruling body and loose sight of the goal isn't the way.

Nope, think we got what we deserved. Not angry or upset with the rfl, the issue is (or hopefully was) marwan

Needs to leave it now, but I don't think his ego will allow it.

Apathy with the salary cap situation that lead to the points deduction. Personally it always feels like the club have one hand tied behind their backs. I wouldn't mind so much if we had any success but considering the investment we were absolutely useless and it was painful to watch. For decades we've had to contend with being hundreds of thousands under the cap due to financial constraints. I'll be honest I haven't attended one game since the announcement of the salary cap breach.

I know it's not rocket science you only have to look at the attendances, but I'll admit I know of 10 people who have been season ticket holders for years who'd had enough of what we saw last season and decided enough was enough and I heard the words " if they want to pick and choose what games to turn up for so will I"

The same people actually thought they would still go to most games until the salary cap breach was announced, and subsequently haven't returned this season. These people have been die hards over the years.

After a while it becomes easier and cheaper to stay at home, and there is always a game on sky to watch.

I feel that a little success or at least consistency may be the only route to bring the fans back.
