More bans and now 15 games missed from ten suspensions in just 7 games worst disciplinary record in Super League, most penalties conceded, worst scoring rate for 25 Years, our worst defensive record in our super league history . For me now it's past the grumbling stage and simply heartbreaking and demoralising. Still we hear no words of sympathy or encouragement from the management. Some will now come on and say don't be so negative and by hell I don't want to be but there are simply no positives in those statistics at all.

As Mark Twain famously said “There are 3 kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.” However it’s not just the statistics you have pointed out Pete it’s the sheer number of them that actually tell the brutal and painful true story of just how bad things are. We have all seen good times and some very bad and dark days but in all my time I don’t think I’ve seen anything like this were as you say there are simply no positives anywhere.

There are some that cling to the ‘In any kind of weather’ mantra and to be maybe they have a point however the lack of face and respect from the Owner and the clubs CEO in regards to its fans during this poop show (of their own doing I might add) just rubs salt in to the gaping wound and takes the pee out of that mantra almost as if they are hiding behind it.

I don’t think I have ever felt so p!s5ed off with or at the club in my life and the heart break I’ve felt is now just giving way to contempt, anger and resentment.

Shocking discipline isn't down to ability, it's down to coaching, fitness and mindset. And we have none of that.

I'm frigging fuming at what has become of our club. My Dad helped set HISA up back in the day and it feels like something like that is needed, but obviously HISA only had any credence because Shane Richardson allowed it

Yeh but your Dad and Co did a bloody great job before the merger sorting Lloyd out and galvanising the fans against that regime. Oh how we could do with them all now!! We simply have no representation at all.

Representation only works if the club are prepared to listen Pete

Absolutely right completely agree. Back then Lloyd didn't want to know the fans but with the IAKOW fanzine and regular get togethers at least the guys brought us al together. We are just desperate now. I don't know what happened to FC Voices has anyone contacted them to act as a go between (if they still exist that is!!)

The club shy away now from any criticism, even the last fans group that could speak to the club seemed to be cherry picked

The reply indicated things are going to happen soon to improve the Club

Sounds like we could have a new owner (or some significant investment) announced by AP tomorrow.
