I think that's right. Like many, when we got relegated I assumed that our full-time squad would be able to easily steamroller the part-time teams. It didn't exactly work out that way did it? ...

Well, it sort of did, as I recall we were the ones that ended up in the MPG, but true to formwe managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of a victory that could and should have put us back in SL despite Lowes and everything.

Reports of our survival seem to be greatly exaggerated.

The silence is both deafening and worrying ... what a way to treat former players, former staff and those supporters who still remain, despite all the smoke and mirrors, desirous of a favourable outcome. Are we just gullible, deluded Northern / Bulls addicts? Just what is the point anymore?

Well I'm now feeling quite apathetic, there's only so long you can stay on the rollercoaster. The longer it drags on the less likely we'll be lining up in 20 days time. That may not be a bad thing, there has to be a cut off point somewhere when it becomes impossible to get a side together in time?

Sounds like we have a Lamb "can't actually show us the money" redux

Now come on! Shipley had a smattering of die hards down at Peel Park that still turned up to come come thrashings, dog poop, locel eejits walking across the field whilst the game was on... we need to turn up to protest!

Haha - indeed they did! I was one of em myself for a while. You forgot to mention short tempered coaches who had a tendency to throw things when we lost.

Hilarious. I once joined a Shipley training session as a young slip of a lad, tagging along with one of the Whitehead brothers. Got thoroughly battered. Great fun.

The official record is "Richard Rodriguez (USA) rode the Pepsi Max Big One and Big Dipper roller coasters at Pleasure Beach, Blackpool, UK for 405 hr 40 min from 27 July to 13 August 2007." Compared to our 8 weeks this is pathetic. I think we should get in touch with Guinness Records
