No need to worry about inspiring the next generation of young fans, we can just quote the names of Pearman & Box at them and watch their eyes light up!

Everything not OK just don't be so simplistic.

Can you list the many ways that we are a better club/team/coach than we were 20 years ago?

No nearer on a stadium, no money in the club and certainly no better as a team & coaching staff!
The Wembley thing is just a symbol or reminder of our stagnation!

You couldn't be further from the truth. We are massively different imho.

Ah well! I suppose I could settle down in my armchair with a glass of Jack Daniels in my hand, close my eyes and recall the ecstasy of our Yorkshire cup final victory over Sheffield Eagles 27 years ago. Aaaaah! What memories! Halcyon Days, indeed.

Again you take a simplistic view.

What happened with the growth and improvement during the 2nd and 3rd seasons? Were you at Fax away in May 2000 when we hit rock bottom with half our players not getting paid and half of our fans walking out at half time? Were you at Salford at the end of 2001 to see us hang in despite fines and points deductions. The good old days eh?

You think we are better now?

We’re bottom of the league with a record of 26 losses from the last 31 games Vs SL opposition
We’ve had players calling for a strike due to a pay dispute
The club hasn’t got a pot to pi.. urinate in
The stadium is almost completely unchanged
The fan base is around the same

20 years of progress eh!

What’s simplistic about that, in every detail we are almost as bad or worse.
At least 20 years ago we had ambition on and off the field!

My first game at Trinity was 1971, I’ve been at every ground, new and old, following the club

Well we clearly have different understandings of how we see our club within the community and Super League.
