read back you told some one how long it would take them to get to Twickenham and Harrow, using google to do so.

you claimed I had tried to give advice.....I hadn't. As uncomfortable as that may make you, it is a fact. Here's my entire post again......observational as opposed to giving advice.

Indeed.
The influx of "new RL fans" prepared to travel from Aylesbury to the Hive (52 minutes according to google) who didn't attend the stoop (61 minutes according to google) is astounding and underlines how correct a decision it was to whore ourselves to a new landlord

Supporters getting involved in promoting their club, now that's a novel idea.

condescending much?
I'd suggest that there are fans on here, present company included, who have done a damn site more than hand out leaflets in support of this club. The fact that the club deemed this help unnecessary would point towards the lack of a stampede to offer assistance now!

We know the man from the long white cloud is repetitive and tiresome BUT some of us believe he has perfectly valid points mostly backed up with facts.

The more you respond the more he will come back at you and the more repetitive and tiresome he will become in your eyes. The proof of the pudding will be what happens for 70 minutes each weekend. Personally I am not hopeful but then I get slagged of for being negative.

Have to say that all this enthusiasm on Facebook for helping the club and doing leaflet drops every where causes me a wry smile. The will to do that has always been there, it is simply that certain people (or should that be a certain person) chose to ignore it and it seems to have taken another move and possibly a new face or helper to reignite it.

This is an internet forum and as such, you will get differing points of views....the OP wasn't asking me to do anything. They felt that strongly they wanted to maximise their desire to express their displeasure at my style of posting and my stance on the club that they started a thread. That's not "asking me to do something"....that's starting on me!

Also, their request for me to lay off is based on them being "put off"???? If the musings of an internet forum poster are sufficient to "put someone off" then I suggest the precious nice person should grow a set or love off to watch something else.

Touched a nerve? Not a jot of it. If I hadn't responded, would that have been me told?

The constant unfounded attempts to promote positivity about the club are far more tiresome than any number of my posts IMHO, but I don't feel the need to start threads asking the lemmings to stop posting

please lay off Is asking you to do something. It's not starting on you.

This thread has touched a nerve as much as you pretend it hasn't. It's an attack on you as far as you're concerned when it isn't. How dare they!!!

Fair call PP. And people are not blind to people's frustrations, include yours about the actions and performances on and off the field. This has made some fans and IMHO bitter towards the club. To the point where some can only say negative things, because it's got that far for them!!! Others on here see it almost phoenix like and have hope that with all the crap that's happened we have a team to follow backing it with positivity in a very, very tough year ahead. No-one is under any misapprehension that we will lose games with a squad scrambled together at the last minute when we found out we were in.

This club has always had the backing of fans willing to give up their time and help out. Only for it to be rebuked. That was harsh and ultimately at the stoop, could have been to a degree, costly. Those fans will also be peeved that their help is being asked for now as a cure when their help could potentially have been used for prevention.

In the context of a friendly request, it would be asking me to do something....in the context of a brand new thread designed to attract flies like poop does, it was an attack. You've been around enough internet forums to know the difference....

It was an attack on me RB.......re-read the thread title and the assessment of my style and content of posting in the opinion of it's author. Surely you aren't that naïve are you?

You seem to think that this is the first time a poster or posters have got together to vent their collective spleens towards me It is a nice distraction from the humdrum of people thinking this brave new world will deliver the stability and security the club needs, but it is nothing more than that. I will respond to an attack, are will reply to a differing opinion but unlike these arsewipes, I would never be so arrogant to attack their styles of posting and demand they cease posting......I leave that to those who suffer from bouts of uncontrollable insecurity.

BTW, I see the rumour mill at Odsal has Bradford offering a contract to a prop we recently "missed out on".....have you heard anything about this?

Call it what you like. It makes no odds to me. My issue is that by entering incorrect points of reference into google your timings were out by 25% in addition to the points I have already made.

If it bothers you whether it's called observation or advice then I will retract the statement and you can stick your observation where the sun don't shine. Does that make you feel better about it?

The fact you see it as an attack on you proves that it's struck a nerve.

Were did I belittle the work that supporters have done before, I'm sure lots of Bronco fans have put plenty of effort in and it's great that they have. I see no relation to what has happened between fans and the Broncos previously and the communication currently happening between Bronco fans and the Hive.

Re: FAO Gutterfax : Wed Feb 12, 2014 12:16 am  

Why don't the club just dip all our balls in honey and stake us to an anthill!!!
