When I read the thread title I thought it was about Swinton. I thought they were in dire trouble?

How many clubs don't really have a problem with finance? Oldham moving 4 miles out of the Borough of Oldham?

See you never responded to my Huddersfield attendance problems, remember it was only a short while since they were top of Super League, they survive with a chairman who has pumped in a lot of personal money, and this is the birth place of the sport, take away Leeds, wonder how many clubs attendances pay the bills? Wigan, Hull, Warrington, they may be all close. Look at Championship clubs, how many pay their way from attendances.

This isn't unique to RL, it's the same in any professional sport.
How many football clubs operate at a profit? Or RU clubs? Or cricket counties?

In every sport a very few have a genuine operating profit, all the others rely on top up funding from central sources, wealthy owners, or both.

Coming from a neutral that reads all the teams threads, even I wish you'd slope off into the sunset. Absolute prick, and everything that a RL fan shouldn't be. If you make me want to stop reading the Bronco's threads, how many of your own fans are you putting off? Thank god for your self imposed exile, as you could only be a cancer within the club if you turned up!

Much respect to all the genuine fans here that manage to ignore this cretin and get to enjoy your favourite sport. Most of my happiest times as a Hull fan was at a period of our lowest crowds, in the 2nd division when we was run by a crook.

You should meet up with Ronniequin for an AUP breaking love-in.

If you only get one day off a week and choose to use that day watching the worst full time pro team in the comp, then that is the choice if the person doing that, cowgirl your comment that they are being short changed is an assumption that you know someone else's thoughts and opinions.
End of.

Isn't this sort of abuse against the rules here?

True to an extent I suppose.

But seriously how much on pitch enjoyment can be derived from the last few dismal seasons?

Jamie Soward's whistle stop tour was the last thing to get excited about.

It does make me laugh that I'm supposedly beyond the pale when my detractors get away with murder.

Or is it libel?

Isn't David Hughes from Swinton?

Then again I wouldn't even wish him on Salford.

Maybe being the first team to beat Leigh in a long time, maybe the single win in the season against Leeds all be it a weak Leeds, maybe any other of the wins last season, maybe watching some of the kids getting a run out. What is enjoyable to you is not necessarily enjoyable to others.
Maybe being one of the fans that don't give up when the going gets tough.
Maybe wearing the shirt of the club you support at places like the GF or magic and the banter it brings.
Honest answer, I watched some bloody good rugby last year, yep some rubbish, so no I was not short changed.
