Now is the time to stand up and be counted as we can not afford to go down.

End the stupid boycotts and get down to Cougar Park.

The team needs our support now. March will get it right IMO and we have to trust, Mon the Cougars.

Honest question.

Do you think if all the fans shouted for the team non stop during a game, this team would win every game?

No but playing in front of only a few hundred and people booing does nothing for a team. Get behind them.
To be honest the only way you will ever get back large crowds would be to spend a lot of money bringing in high profile players and charging up the league winning week in week out. This coupled with the chance of a shot at Supper League would work but I just don't think the money is available down there so we just have to stick with what we have got.

The trouble with sticking with what you have got, could mean a long slow lingering death.

Good opening post.

A percentage of people have withdrawn there Support. Any business which looses a percentage of support will have problems.

Despite it being many weeks since a Cas player came on our pitch and even then it had been to cover for injuries many still stay away.

The same people come on here moaning about the Clubs on and off the field performance to which they have stopped contributing.

With a series a negative threads breading negativity in others and giving there predictions of doom.

Yet they still fail to come week in and week out but find time to blame blame moan moan, blame blame.

It is obvious this strange brand of being a supporter has not been constructive but destructive.

Question is are people going to get over themselves and return to watch the team they are criticizing or carry on moaning about the outside.

I know everybody is not happy with the Cas thing. I personally don't think it has effected the pleasure of watching the game.

I give the analogy of Supporters are split in 3 groups.

Some camped inside Cougar Park enjoying supporting the team.
Some who are inside this group at Cougar Park still watching the games
the ing outwards from the proverbial tent.
And then there are some who have left the tent but are ing into the tent from the outside.

These ones who either need to come back in or go somewhere else.

this boycotting rubbish is very school playground! If I didnt like my boss would I boycott (go on strike) my job until hes replaced?
Ive stated in another thread about the game in itself its just not about coach. maybe we need to see things in different prospective. The club is doing what they can, in a lot of ways. Maybe some people who have a go and not seeing what they are doing, need to take a trip to specsavers.

Would any one care to give me a idea of how many people have stopped going down because of our link with Cas?

There is a very big difference in your point.
At work people will put up with a lot as they have to get paid.
When people are spending there own money they can stop spending it at any time.

So any one who doesnt have your point of view should stop commenting on the club and go somewhere else.

Or have i misunderstood your point?

I know of a few but up to them to put themselves forward on here.



Fair comment but i was just merely pointing something out thats all

No, they should keep slating the club on forums and stay away. Just keep jabbing away online.
It does the Club they are supporting no end of good.

No but chaps like yourself return would put extra funds in the bank.

Are people enjoying their time away from attending the rugby?

It looks like you have added 4 and 4 together and got 5 as the answer. The link up with Cas has nothing to do with me not going.

So if people just stay away and not say anything on forums. How will the club understand why people have stopped going.

I am sure the Club know how you feel Jim and I am sure they appreciate all your negative posts and comments.
It will no doubt spur them on.

All those giving there time for nothing, or still paying and supporting the club, or investing in it, or collecting injuries on the Field will also appreciate your public negativity.

Without it they would think the world is still all fine and dandy.

Glad to hear the club know about how i feel. Its a good job i posted my feelings on here. Otherwise they wouldn't have a clue.



Look back over my so-called negative posts and see who and what it is aimed at.
Maybe others have there eyes open and can see its not aimed at any of the things you have mentioned.
After saying that dont let it stop using it to have a dig at me or others.



Glad to hear that some still think the world of rugby league is all, fine and dandy. Some like me can really see what is happening.

Funny how you think people who don't agree with you have there eyes shut.



Or can't see some wood because of some trees.

Pan, kettle, black, bum, shiny. you know the rest.................no doubt you will have heard it before

Have not got a clue what that meant. Maybe now I can't even see the tree or the wood.

You believe that decisions of the clubs elite should be absolute.

You believe that any decision made by the clubs elite should not be called in to question publicly
and be abided by regardless.

You believe it's ok to suppress any dissenting voices by using sarcastic, patronising and insulting language.

According to your Facebook you seem to have an unhealthy obsession with Margaret Thatcher.

Are you a distant relative of Benito Mussolini?

I am guessing there is still fans who can't be bothered to back the club.

Why don't these ex fans find something else to do rather than post crap on here?

Guess who you can pass the admin duties onto me if you like I'll do a good job



Mon the cougars.

So where have I said all these things I believe? A bit libelous that.
I just don't like the realms of negative posts from people who don't go anymore.
They are entitled to their opinion as am I and I think it is damaging the Club.
The name of the thread is Time to Back the team.
I don't believe I insult you, but this year Stealth I rarely agree with you.
For years you have been a critical friend of the Club, but this season when you don't go, you have
nothing but negativity to say.

Now you have had a go at me for being insulting, you have a go yourself.
I think you will obviously recall I made one post about Baroness Thatchers family having the right
to bury their Grandmother in peace. The post was on for a couple of days and went viral and I took
it off. How is that an unhealthy obsession ?

The last comment does not even merit a reply.
Are you questioning my relatives?

Perhaps you would like to expand further.

Now, now Stealth, a bit personal - anyway, you know that Mussolini couldn't use a camera

(Hitler, on the other hand....

)

I for one am prepared to accept that an independant forum is the place for debate such as this. Far better that people object to the directors, coach and players on here than shouting at them in public. At least the forum has an AUP and moderators to enforce it.

Free speech cuts many ways, sometimes you agree, sometimes you don't. At least you have the opportunity to offer a different point of view.

When things are going as badly as they are then the club, coach and players should expect a bit of stick on here. In fact, they should be surprised if there isn't any.

Personally, I like to keep things reasonable, but I can understand how some people get carried away with wanting the club to do well, although if they make extreme posts they should expect the same coming back at them.

People are angry and express this anger, but we all want the same thing [size=150the club to do as well as it possibly can[/size.

some people on here seem very bitter about certain things with the club, RFL, etc.
NEGATIVITY wont do anybody really any good, I have to admit that when I haven't attended a game, I don't comment on it as I wasn't there to see what has happened or see the players play.
Stealth Comic which from I understand you don't go to the games and won't set foot in any ground that is duel reg, making a stand isn't going to make RFL to change the rules and since DP taken on coach at Castleford he may not want the link. Would you say then that you come down to the club?

Which ex fans are you talking about?



The one thing i cannot do is pass you the admin duties. If your not happy with them you need to talk to them.
As me doing the moderators job

i am very happy where i am thanks
