With the last min defeat at the hands of cas, cru will see this game vs us as their last shot to avoid the wooden spoon.

And equally for wakey this is our chance to squeeze the last bit of life out of them and avoid it ourselves.

There can be no doubt both teams can't buy a win of late. Well that's about to change!

I know the franchise decision looms but regardless of that we have a shot here to secure that we don't ever finish bottom.

Now we have seen a promising pre season and a really dark time of late. We feel it and it hits hard. People are struggling to get enthusiasm lately.

Screw that!!! Pick yourself up and make yourself go to this game! Support the boys - get out the banners, drums, flags!!

We have been on the players backs and some probably justified.

Let's draw a big line under it for this week and support our team, who need to run their blood to water. Mainly for pride and self respect!

I have no doubt the players and coach will be feeling down over recent weeks. Well time for them to man up and us to stick a sock I'n it and will them to charge on vs cru.

The franchise decision is 26 July , we play Crusaders at home 31 July could be very volatile if we miss out on franchise

I will not be happy if we don't get franchise however we should still support the guys that take the field. I have a secure job and am not at risk like them.

That said if we were to not receive franchise which I hope we do!, I actually look forward to playing the likes of batley, fev etc. I would hope that most of us fans look deep and continue to support the club, if this happens we will be fighting for league trophies and banging on the door with good attendences, results, youth for three years.

I have no idea how I will feel should we fail to get a franchise, I feel a trip to Red Hall will be my immediate action........

I'm sure it will be a volatile atmosphere from the fans.

Yeah i am wound up already

Just to let you know so you don't look a prat on you own at belle vue. We don't play now for 2 weeks

Brilliant that means I am now working and will have to book even more tine off. Ah well

Well theres a first time for everything.

I'm going out all guns blazing so keep thee head darn

Belle Vue has the potential to be a cauldron of hate if we get kicked out and Crusaders stay in.

If it is volatile I do hope it won't be directed towards players, coach.

That is my fear as the rfl will be an invisible target at the game. There will always be a visible target.

Could we protest by refusing to move after game and stay I'n belle vue till rfl provide reasoning behind decision... That is if we are to lose out

It'll be half empty and you'll have all on finding anyone to Hate.

We can always turn on New Bounce or whatever they are called.

No idea who they are and i don't care.

Just one game at a decent playing level would be nice.

what makes it worse is the people that we should be aiming our protest at will not be there

the RFL

Does that mean Wakey fans will be fighting themselves, because as you have said before Crusaders fetch no fans.

But they damn well should be!

They ought to be in attendance to see the depth of passion that there is for the 2 respective clubs and if they have made the wrong decision (as far as we are concerned) they should have the balls to attend and back up their decision.

They outsung us last season.

if we miss out this game will be tastey ! There will be hell to pay. Watch out you 3rd rate australians ! We may get the nod we have a chance !

Well logic would suggest the crusaders team would get the brunt of the abuse as such... it's not our players fault, coach's fault as it don't matter what happens on the field...

I wouldnt want to be a full back/ winger / centre for crusaders side.

No they didn't - half a dozen blokes sang a bit, but they certainly didn't outsing us.

Oh hang on - you weren't actually there!

Do we have a reserve game prior to the game against the 'Welsh' side? There are one or two first teamers who may be coming back from injury who could do with a run out in order to be in contention.
