I think the reason she's gone is that she was informed that as well as using her own kettle she had to fork out for the leccy as well.

Being released on website and social media at 10:30am. I might look, I might not. I can't say I'm that bothered.

Last year Broncos were in the same boat, massively under performed and fell below expectations, 'qualified' for the Shield, needed a 2 pts from 7 games to secure a semi spot - waste of time, nothing motivating for fans or players alike, losing unexpectedly to minnows as the players weren't there, our small fan base decreased further.

Have faith, we turned it around, and hopefully you will.

The final is a bit of a giggle if you get there.....
A day out and it pots a few quid for your club if you win

Are the winners serenaded with 'We are the champions' and 'Simply the Best' blasting out of the PA system ?

On the same basis as the cup winners seem to get, "cup champions", I can't see anything wrong with "shield champions", or maybe just "chumps" for short?

Attendance of home games for me will happen. They're included in the season ticket, so I will take full advantage of that. I'll even do my usual matchday spending.

Away games, I can't justify the money on. Certainly not spending all that money on two trips to Cumbria.

If we were to get to the Semi Final and Final, it will all depend on ticket prices and venues. Quite frankly, these games are glorified friendlies and I can't justify paying more than trial game prices for them.

I, like I'm sure many fans, am looking at this season as being done and dusted and am already looking towards 2017 now. If my attendance is wanted at these unimportant matches, the price needs to reflect how pointless they are.

I'll be honest. I love Rugby League. I will be at the majority of the games. I will be thoroughly entertained, even if it is makes grim watching. Hopefully if the away turnouts are low there'll be less of this singing nonsense and I'll be able to watch RL in silence as is tradition at Odsal. Interspersed with occasional shouts of 'forward!' and 'rip his spleen out!'.
