I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying.

Don't think i'm biased...
...i'm just very narrow minded!!!!!!!

Re: Giants and Wigan battle for Bateman : Fri Nov 01, 2013 9:41 pm  
It must be just me that thinks this is a great deal for the club.

Bateman has had bags of potential but never warranted the big deal he signed last year. I genuinely can't remember the last time he missed a game and I thought "damn, Bateman could be the difference in this game".

I personally would take Ferguson, Addy and Donno over Bateman, Whitehead and Langley any day of the week.

Money in the bank, more playing time for Olbison, Mellor and Roberts and best of all Wigan and Catalans can deal with the billy big rubbish that now sit within their respective squads!!!

As for the moaners and groaners, do us a favour and feck off!!! I'm sick to the back teeth.

If you haven't bought a season ticket cos the club hasn't won anything for years... YOU'RE NOT A FAN!!!
If you haven't bought a season ticket cos Bateman, Whitehead and Naughton have left... YOU'RE NOT A FAN!!!
If you haven't bought a season ticket cos you think you need to be consulted on every decision the club makes... YOU'RE NOT A FAN!!!

If you haven't bought a season ticket because of a genuine reason such as cant afford one, not going to make enough games to make it value for money etc. then fair enough.

As for all the rest, I wish you'd do us a favour and just leave the club and its true fans in peace. I started following the Northern at tough times and kept going for the love of the club. You don't just support a club to win things, you support it for both good and bad times.

Have you thought that the bad vibes from you and the press might be a reason why so many are having their heads turned and jumping ship???

I'd rather have a club full stop than one who has to bend over backwards for both players and fans just to try and keep up with sugar daddy clubs!!!

You talk about the bad vibes convincing fans to stay away and then tell a big section of the fan base they need to feck off and they are not fans.

You couldn't make it up. If you leave it just to the 'true northern fans' then we won't have a club to support at all.

It's quite possible that the club gave Bateman permission to talk to Wigan before a fee was agreed. Bateman agrees terms (last Friday) but the clubs don't agree a fee until yesterday.

Take time to read my post properly and then get back to me when you find where I say that the bad vibes are convincing fans to stay away!!!

and what is the last comment aimed at??? I was making the point that you support a club because you're passionate about the team and not just the glory.

My thoughts exactly.I`ve followed northern?bulls for more than 50 years, nothing is new. If he wants away let him go for as much as anybody will pay. Players like him are disruptive with his moronic tweets. He has great potential but I`ve seen countless who were lauded the best thing since sliced bread who have not fulfilled that potential. What has he actually achieved? Could he be another Gareth Hock (brainless)?? Anyway Shaun Wane won`t put up with his badmouthing on twatter etc.
