"As I've put in another thread, the club served up overhyped dross for most of a decade, and I have no regrets giving any criticism. This season has been a pleasant surprise with fantastic effort and good rugby, and I have posted several positive posts. Now is the time for the club and fans to unite and grow, not stand bickering over the mistakes of 2008-2015."



I believe contrary to this. A successful club will thrive on it's own. The time for the "club and fans to unite and grow" is in times of woe when a club needs it's fan base to stay loyal and be patient!! Granted it was difficult at times but you dont just throw in the towel and do one!

Except despite not getting a pass I've attended all but two home games this year (which is about normal even when I have a pass due to holidays and other commitments) so the clubs still had my money. I've just ceased blindly giving them hundreds of pounds up front every September without knowing what the standard of entertainment on offer will be.



If the club puts on entertaining rugby (note I haven't stated they need to win, I'd class losing/drawing a tight end to end game as a good effort and a good night out) I'll show up for the next game, if it's boring dross (see 2014, the dead rubber end to last season, the entire Agar era...) I won't. Over time our form and better rugby might generate enough goodwill to convince me to become a passholder again, signs are promising so far I've enjoyed this season more than any other since 2006 or 2007.

My problem with this is, it appears now you can't have an opinion just incase you're wrong. I was still pro Radford but understood those sceptical of him. There's nothing wrong with being wrong. Odds suggested we shouldn't be where we are now. But that's sport! Time to come together.

I see what you are saying but there is a difference between having a valid opinion, which ever side of the fence it sits and being over sensationalistic.



Its as though some had never experienced Tony Gordon, Peter Walsh and David Lloyd.



Petitions to have the coach removed, apart from being utterly pointless, it screamed out spitefulness. Using phases like "terminal decline" and "overhyped dross" show a high level of shortsightedness. This presenting information on here as fact when it was actually unsubstantiated or merely that persons opinion didn't help certain individuals.



Its as though the comments from Pearson when Radford was appointed regarding clearing the decks of those on large, unwarranted contract and the fact it was going to take a number of years to sort this were ignored by some.



Its fans who set their own expectation levels, but if the words of the man in charge had been listened to , those levels should have been realistic fro the off.

According to you we wouldnt have a club to watch in the near future!!! Yes mrs b , you talk some shat like the rest of us do

I'd forgotten the gloom and doom finance report from the resident economic expert! Yet that'll be brushed under the carpet and it'll just be me and a few other 'not in the crew' posters that get called negative and sensationalist

long live the happy clappers of which I am supposedly vice chairman lol



happy days and long may they continue.

Don't flatter yourself, your not even close to been Vice President standard. Your just 1 off many sheep, with not much of an opinion

So you're saying that anyone who doesn't find fault (justified or otherwise) is a sheep. What a charmer you are!!

No, I'm saying people like him who very rarely as an opinion of his own and just agree with the most favourable posts are sheep. I apologise, saying 1 off many was pretty ott. I meant just him ha

so agreeing with people who I agree with is wrong lol, you are soooooo funny, up the happy clappers ha ha

Never said otherwise. When do Sammut and Marshall arrive?



A couple of points. I guess we'll have some more clarity on the financials when the accounts are filed. Hopefully the news will be positive and the going concern note to the accounts will no longer be needed. Secondly, it looks like more of the lapsed passholders have been seduced back to the club by our rather excellent first half of the season. This is fantastic news and could scarcely have been anticipated. I couldn't be happier right now if Mark Minichiello turned up with a jug of Pimms and said he needed his hamstrings sorting out.
