[size=200I have watched Bradford for a good twenty years of my life, ever since my dad would take me up to see the steam pigs "Northern" up at Odsal.

I like many others have been there through thick and thin, Hull KR away in 1992 when we needed a win to stay up.

But tonight's showing was so depressing to watch because when Rugby League is close to your heart and you see that happen in front of you, it kills you inside. Rugby League can live on without me but I can't live on without the sport I love, Rugby League is my lubrication of life that keeps me ticking.

Where is your soul Bradford?

Where is your pride Bradford?

Where is your Passion Bradford?

Tonight we got NOTHING, the players don't want to play for the coach anymore.

What I saw tonight was probably the single worst performance I have ever seen in my twenty years of watching Bradford Rugby League, an utter disgrace in fact.

We coupled defensive ineptitude with a clueless attack and for 1 to 17 to call themselves a Super Player on yesterdays showing, some of the players want to have a look at their performances and look at what they are doing to the loyal fans of this once great club that embraced Super League in 1996 like no other.

I'm just so sick & ill at this moment in time.

When will the chairman understand that running a business successfully is about raising revenue not losing it. The attendance last night and the performances this season should be enough to realise that now is the time to act!
We need a complete clear out and a proven coach appointed asap. Any further delay will show Hood and his fellow directors as spineless, incompetent failures and we should all boycott further matches until action is taken!

I will still be there at St Helens on Friday, but for how much longer I can take of this I don't know

Even if you got a new coach though, I fear you could be poor for the next couple of seasons due to the calibre of some of the players that you have, and the length of their contracts.

Sorry but I don't agree the team is not as bad as the results suggest. A stronger minded coach IMO would be able to get far more out of the players than McNamara.

Spot on. On paper we have one of the best packs in the league, we suffer in the halves but they're not as bad as everyone makes out.

Our predicament is either down to something going on behind the scenes or poor coaching. The latter I suspect, which isn't surprising considering the coaching squad we have.

Maybe it is this because the players don't play for the coach

bingo

But what do we do to sort it out???

Macca is here for the ride I feel

Thought you were the one with all the ideas'

The only idea that I have, is to just get rid of the dead wood at the club and by that I mean Basil the brush and half of our players.

I would take the gamble and blood some of the youngsters into the side.

Cant blame basil he`s a top quality british coach..ask anyone to do with queenie how good he is.

I have a mate who plays for Queeny and he says the coaching set-up is crap.

Dave Halley used to coach them too

Yikes, I hope Peter Hood doesn't read this.

Hood for me can go out of the door.

The club need to make a or bust gamble now

Im taking the mick..halley does coach them..basil used to and if it wasnt for his brother he would of got them relegated last season..my workmate plays standoff/fb for them..played for clayton a`s last season and moved there, another of my workmates is u9s coach and was there first team hooker/captain for 20 yrs.

While I think he has often made himself look a bit silly in the press I think all in all Hood has done well in terms of the off-field operations of the club, and I don't exactly see a queue of people waiting to replace him.

However, he does risk the good work that has been done financially, and in putting a focus on youth development that slipped away under Chris Caisley's "rule", if he doesn't do something to address the utter tripe being served up on the pitch, which is the ultimate product, and ultimate advertisement for the club.

We need to average 10,000 every home game to break even.

We have still to play

SALFORD
HARLEQUINS
CATALANS
CELTIC

Even if we won are next ten games, we wouldn't get 10k for these games.

Maybe you have got a point., but IMO the likes of Worrincy, Sheriffe, even Deacs and Jeffries are not top 4 calibre.

And Platt (possibly Sykes) didn't get a mention there?

How could I have forgotten Platt!!!!!!

I wish Macca would

How much does Michael Platt look like Chris Hicks? Its like they are twins!

Ermmm....are you sure? They both have short hair. Thats about it.

That`s why I could never understand the reps` for the Super League teams voting for them to allow them in .Could understand Salford as they were rightly promoted but be honest what Catalans and Celts give to our game.Then we are all encouraged to spend our hard earned money going to prop their attendance figures up.It`s all right having one team with no show fans but 4 is just a bit much.It will bring your attendance agrigate down big time.
