You are completely missing the point. The current plight is very much self inflicted and most fans saw this coming. A lack of leadership in three key areas; captain, coach and Chief Executive is the fundamental reason for our dramatic fall from grace. As a club we have been in far worse positions, however, the current regime is the worst I have seen at the club.
Incompetence personified.

| I was once told by a family member that after speaking to one super league coach, that his teams game-plan, when playing us,was based on coming out all guns blazing for the first 10/15 minutes and try to get us on the back foot. once that happened the F.C faithful would get on the backs of their own players to the point where the rest of the game would be easy. And I tell you what.. it worked!!
I think this speaks volumes about how much of an influence we, as a crowd, can be. My own personal view is that you can always just not watch the games if you don't like what's in front of you. But don't contribute to the opposition having an advantage over us, especially at home matches.
Some of the most memorable ad enjoyable games I've been to we actually lost, but because of the "sing and enjoy the day regardless" attitude we used to have in abundance now sadly seems to be diminishing.

unfortunately this is a by-product of moving to a modern new stadium, when we are playing well and the crowd get behind the team the atmosphere can be great but many of the new fans we have gained seem content to sit and watch the game in silence and dont get involved, I dont agree that our fans get on the teams back if we dont play well for the first 10-15 mins though, maybe that has happened once or twice this season but what do you expect when we have to watch some of the passionless aimless crap that we have this season? i loved being in the old threpenny stand and singing right throughout the game win or lose and you are right some of the most memorable games were defeats but those days are gone. the only solution is to put a rocket up the backside of the prawn sandwich brigade and get them singing!

| On Friday evening I was watching Saints V Huddersfield on Sky. At half time the Saints fans started to Boo the Saints team off. It was clear to hear the Boo's from the fans not happy with their teams first half performance. Maybe its become the norm to Boo your team. I don't agree with it however but if Saints fans can Boo their team then it beggers belief.

| Quote ="UllFC"which is ridiculous
how do they think Man United's players cope playing in front of 78k every other week? If they can't cope with 10,000 FC fans professional rugby isn't for them
yes the atmosphere has been bad at games for ages, but what do they expect when there coach has a win record of 33% the fans have shown great loyalty these last 2 seasons, many other fans would have stopped going altogether.'"
The point is that we have offered little in terms of encouraging our players this season. Infact I think most fans seem to thrive on us doing bad on the pitch.

How about in any kind of weather ? Support your team through thick or thin . Next season when International Players come on board I expect to see a big difference in performances. Assuming they can stay injury free of course.
Will make a big difference to the usual overseas dross you have signed over the last couple of years Berrigan not included.

| Quote ="pmarrow"Are we really though ?
Sure we have the numbers but in terms of supporting our team are we really the best ? I mean we boo our own players, never encourage them when we are down and only sing Old faithful when we have won. Fair play to those who have being home and away alot this year but I'm not talking about the numbers we take to games its what we do when we are there.
A few years ago it was a joy to behold to be part of the FC travelling army, going to places like Castleford 4000 odd fans all singing pre match in the pubs and at the game. As opposed to this year which just resulted in people taking it in turns to slag a player or have an Agar rant.
By no means am I suggesting this is our fault but I feel as supporters we could have contributed alot more to the players this season, when the KC is bouncing there is only ever one team who will win the game and that is us. Part of the reason I am falling away from Rugby is not just down to how we perform but the overall lack of entertain coming off the field too. Everyone just feels like turning up to a game is a chore and we have already being beat before we start.
I heard a rumour and not sure how true it is but apparentley a player had said to a friend of mine that the team prefer to play away because then they don't have 10000 people on there backs if they make a mistake, he even went on to say that playing at the KC gives him more nerves then a cup final!'"
Spot on IMO
Its one of the reasons I have stopped going to be honest. I've got sick of the fans. Each to their own where it comes to supporting your club, but they should know they are a bigger problem than they are cure.
