Gotnofax, not sure if you have missed it, despite what you wish we are no longer in super league so we are not going to be playing them week in week out its happened live with it, it's sport it happens nothing can be done to change it this year.
The milk is spilt get the hint it can't be unspilt
So basically your answer is no you are not looking forward to seeing us win, that's fair enough as long as we know where you stand.

So another question you avoided where and how would you have done shirt launch, it's not the first time we have been to tower bridge for something like this.

So you intend to continue to destroy this forum with endless repetitive rants about the owner and former management of the club even when it's not directly relevant to the threads? Troll.

Great, and no problem with that. Pity you can't outline what replaces David Hughes. You might hate him but if he walked away tomorrow, will you be dancing on the club's grave, will you be funding the solution, or just spouting I told you so.

The solution is no longer available, because whilst you had a chance of flogging London v Wigan to the public, London v Whitehaven is of no interest to anyone other than the 700 or so that will show up......and in being generous with that figure.
When the rfl revert to one up/one down, Hughes will buy us back into sl, but i suspect with a core of maybe 400 hard core fans left, we will be straight back down........hughes leaving us now is preferable to the long slow death he is inflicting on the club.
I did tell you and everyone else so.......13 years ago and I was spot on. I take no pleasure in it, but I wont have it held against me either.

And the point about what do we do without Hughes? He's made sure that we are 100% reliant on him now......in 2008 we had something going for us.....attached to a popular brand and playing to 4k......isnt it great what 15 million buys you?

Without Hughes the club would learn to live within its means and be forced to generate its own revenue.......with him too many people are happy to take a wage with no consequence for failure......hows that panned out of late?

Re: clubs stated aim : Sun Jan 04, 2015 11:03 pm  

Oh dear glumfox your are preaching to the faithful who hear what you say, but you know that group is getting less by the day and this forum should be left in peace. Let the hard core shuffle along to what is left of LB, few if anybody who can make a difference to the long term health of LB will no doubt not spend time on this site. Retire in peace.

Micky, the fact we are not in SL has relatively little to with "sport" and rather a lot to do with inept management.
