For me I have said at the start of the season 6th,7th or 8th are our most realistic target for the season we are not gunna jump straight from 8th to 3rd or 4th, people who think this are the daft ones that moan on here all the time. Steady progress will be made and the club is already moving forward under the new regime with training facilties and the new academy for the youngsters.
We have also seen debuts for Bowden, a first start for Nicklas, Ellis and also Green having a squad place something which will help there development in the long run. The club is on the up and I'm looking forward to the future IAKOW.

The paper towels in the stadium toilets aren't as soft as they used to be.

Someone needs to sort out the stewards holding back fans whilst cars exit the car park! West park will be flowing with stewards blood if they're not careful!

Perhaps an automated traffic light instead. I thought the idiots who call hell out of the stewards for doing their job were going to start a riot on the way home!

We both know there's always moaners on here regardless of whether it's been a good performance or signing or whatever with the club. A lot of fans are aware it's a long road ahead but at the same time a lot aren't and expect far too much.

The M62.
People who drive people carriers.
Ducks.
Pipe cleaners.
Air freshener.
Those big toilet roll dispensers where the toilet roll always snaps and then disappears inside the dispenser.
The woman who's car I ever so slightly bumped.
Getting up.
My amaryllis.
Cold lamb.
People who don't pick up their dogs excrement.
Comedy socks.
Dappy.
Little flies.
Rembrandt.
Lorenzo Bruno Nero "Lawrence" Dallaglio.
Over cooked scrambled eggs.
Cow pats that look like stepping stones.
Brown.

I'm just getting a bit fed up with the lack of balance from some. Yes, there are things not to be happy with, I'm not saying that it's all rosy and people aren't justified in a moan. What bothers me is those who won't give any credit for the positives we have seen, or even flat out denials that there are any. What is even more grating is the fact that the bulk of it is done with a large amount of ignorance, by people who are not attending and before they've even had chance to see any highlights. I've whinged about the team over the last few years, and I don't feel I'm a particularly inflammatory poster in general, but enough's enough. If people are either too stubborn or too stupid to assess things with an open mind instead of just looking for reasons to bash the club or setting unrealistic goals so that they can complain when we inevitably can't match them, then I honestly think that they and the rest of us would be better off with their absence for a few weeks. Have a look at us when the weather improves and the team have been playing competitive rugby together for a bit longer and then see what you think (and that means making a judgement based upon what you see, not looking for what already suits your preformed opinion).

It's not just restricted to on here either. At the game on Sunday there were so many around me only too willing to rip into Sharp when he didn't take that kick early doors. He went on to produce a truly outstanding display, but this was only met with silence by plenty of them. Why can't people just give credit where it's due?

So what I was trying to get at was those who only want to knock the club without anything constructive to say, and thought we could have a little corner set aside for them to play amongst themselves and hopefully make the rest of the board a bit more reasonable. As somebody else said, the board is arguably less enjoyable than in the close season at the moment.

Exactly, and I'm just finally starting to find it too tiresome.
