Rude you still have not answered the question, do you still go to games.

Are you suggesting that the players get booed off the pitch every time they lose? It's a personal choice, if you have been entertained and watched a player put the effort in then why not clap them off the pitch.

So another question, what have you done or more to the point what are you able to actually do to change the situation? If your answer is to no longer come and watch, well done, but in my opinion that is just adding to the problem, but it's yr choice.
Don't forget had Mr Hughes pulled his money then this discussion would not be happening as we would just be a failed club in the history books.

I'm not saying they should be booed, there are many instances when a heroic effort in defeat merits appreciation, however applauding no matter what simply indicates you are nothing but a cheerleader.

If we were to lose 50-0 at home to Whitehaven would you really still clap the players off and if so why?

If we were 0-50 down at home to Whitehaven would there be anyone left in the stands??

Ive been to one away match this year (Sheffield) and I was sure to give the players a piece of my mind as I left the ground after 55 minutes. I was jokingly mocked by the home supporters which to me is fine, but what is not fine is the group of individuals who blindly support the club and players home and away desperate to get a hand shake and a hug from the players at the end. It is absolutely pathetic.

Going to a soccer match this Saturday rather than the Broncos. Very sad indeed but I hope the muppets who keep on clapping enjoy themselves.

Fair play to you.

What baffles me even more than the supporters who clap no matter what is David Hughes himself. I cannot fathom how this man who has poured so much of his own money into the club, can tolerate what he gets back from these players year after year.

But we didn't lose 50-0 to Whitehaven so what's the point of the question

Micky, don't act the simpleton

Its a hypothetical situation.

Lets say we were lose 50-0 at home to Whitehaven, would you clap the players off the field?

Re: Still clapping the players off the field? : Tue Mar 17, 2015 11:49 pm  

I clapped the players off the other week at Leigh, because I felt they had done a reasonable job in an away game against a better side and had earnt some recognition. I doubt I would do the same for any 50-0 home loss

Sorry if I offend anyone here,but your comments makes you a prime example of what not to have in RL clubs..I think Broncos will sleep well knowing your going watching a Soccer match.And to be honest your probably better staying with that sport as you obviously are lacking education in RL..

rupe1: These days I go to almost as few games as you do, so I certainly wouldn't have the effrontery to criticise those who do go. If people pay their money and spend their time, it's entirely up to them whether or not they clap the players off the pitch and they certainly don't have to justify themselves to you or me.
