What thin specifically? 2nd Division 1985 and 86?


Indeed. I've seen a lot thinner than this.

So have I performance wise, financial wise, not really what I am referring to though so I am not too sure on the point being made here?

How do you know they are lying?


The fact that CC has publicly stated he has never been late for training at HKR or us...I don’t think he would make such a point of saying that if he had been.

That then begs the question, if that is a proven lie, how much of the rest of it is?

You said you'd followed them through thick and thin. I just wondered how bad your thin bits were. I would say mine were the 85 season when we stayed in the 2nd Division, the Tony Dean Period (87?) and the two winding up order periods.

In his interview today with James Deighton he’s said him and his coaching staff have to take some of the blame...do keep up!

Would love to know who the liar is spouting off to the press...can cause real harm...I’ve a feeling this might work the other way though...coach and CEO both admitting they’ve got things wrong...sounds like a productive meeting with the ‘seniors’ of the playing group!

We might as well just all get behind the 17 that take to the field each week because we now know that there will be no change....it’s what I would have done too...get Poching in...make the necessary changes to the squad...put the troubles of this season behind us and have a look how things are 6-8 games into next season, then if there is no obvious improvement then take action...


What do you mean 'do keep up'? I'm referring to the response from MC in the highlighted piece where there's no mention of Chester taking any blame. If he has held his hands up then it's about flipping time after so long. I didn't hear James Deighton's interview but will have a listen in just to hear what mistakes he's admitting to..unless you want to enlighten me of course.

Only got his word for that also. He told us this week they are all busting a gut every week to put it right as well. Said something completely different last week.

Completely agree with the 2 winding up order periods, especially the second which seemed harder to take when things were looking good for us, I am luck enough to not quite be old enough to see the 85 season! (Just!) In recent memory the 2011 season you could highlight as a low point, 5 wins I think all season and I didn't miss a game home or away that season, that said those lads put 100% in every week but unfortunately just were not good enough to keep up with the rest of the league that year, I remember travelling away to Hull KR on my own and getting beat by 70 points, my Vauxhall Corsa broke down on that dual carriage way on the way out of the ground, a terribly embarrassing day all around :lol:
