Well done, you've identified a clique with one member.

Doesn't that make all of us, even you, a clique by your definition?

Hey, I'm a clique! Never thought of myself that way before.

To quote our long standing and esteemed member Homer

Currently PC Plum, Brian 2, Jaybs and Mickey1234 together with Bostwick and a couple of others are closely following my posts in threads that have nothing to do with "on-field" activity but a whole lot to do with the future of the club. Their attitude that "there's nothing we can do" is typical of a group who now go to games purely for each others company and to "stand defiant" rather than in any actual belief that the club will ever see SL again. That's a clique!

It's not a cop out to call them a clique, because that's what they are....they attack anyone who dares question the validity of anything the club does in total belief that "it'll come right". There is more chance of me winning euro lottery than the club being allowed to but 10,000 seats at Trailfinders, but they lap it up anyway.

I posted a caption comp picture that included some of the clique and it attracted nothing but ridicule. It was noted on the same picture on FACEBOOK that we used to take more to away games. At some stage the penny will drop......Hughes is not and will never be the solution to the problem that is London's Premier RL club....but those hardy souls gathered around a bed sheet with Hendo's Barmy Army are living the dream and they don't care about the missing 4,000+ fans. The same 4,000+ dans were worth about 780,000 a year in income at the stoop......we've sold 64 season tickets for next year......there might be one or two more clique members in there that aspire to be blind devotees to St Dave of Swinton and he doesn't care about the lost 780,000 in revenue because he has his merry band of followers.......

So a clique is any group of people who individually don't agree with you. There is no clique.

I didn't say they were a clique because they disagreed with me, I said it was because they seemed to follow me into threads that were always going to be negative.....that is a clique because they are seldom alone!

Well, so says you. Let's leave it there. There is no clique.

Goodnight or morning for you.

I confirm i will no longer follow your clealy "negative" threads, but actually you turn every thread into a rant about Gus, Saint David, and endless stats about how many fans we have lost etc etc.

Can i be clear - i do not believe David Hughes is the answer, for the last time i agree with you totally that the club has been appallingly run, trailfinders is almost certainly not the answer and terrible appointments have been made. But i am not delusional.

i like rugby, i go and watch union, fall asleep watching football - and love RL. So i will continue to go and support them, whatever you think.

But i promise - i will no longer read or respond to any thread you begin......

Thought this was a thread about the Fans Forum, when we had moderators ( a long time ago) I was given an official warning for going off thread?

Re: LBSA Fans Forum - Thursday September 10th : Wed Sep 16, 2015 9:38 am  

Maybe the mods have given up!

Didnt have you down as one of the acolytes ! Apols missed your question, no we are not in a better position by any reference BUT I live in hope that perhaps the club will start to recreate the spirit of those times and if they do, little by little there will be improvement. I've made my thoughts clear on Ealing on here previously but at the end of the day no end of moaning or threatening to never go again is going to make a jot of difference.

Ok fair enough best leave it there then. We have all got our strong views I suppose and I think Ive expressed mine on the Hughes front quite forcefully you might say. No doubt though when the time comes I will end up eating my words and turn up for a number of fixtures.

The option of attending Broncos away games could enable watching the team but with no compromise on the Hughes front? Hopefully still see you at the odd home game.

Yes I will defo be at Blackpool or wherever Summer Bash appears at.
I suppose attending will prevent you and Willow from nagging me.
