This is very very worrying. I said a couple of weeks ago there is something very wrong at the club, and it continues. It's the silence that really gets me. No news about players, no news about anything. Usual Friday 21 man squad announced, and then wait for what seems like the inevitable hammering. Not critising the players, total respect for putting their bodies on the line. The team today was not a team that should concede 40 + points. What is wrong behind the scenes? We need people at the ground, but speaking as a fan of 45 years what's the pull at the moment? The future of Batley RL is at stake here, because relegation could finish the club. That's how seriousl I feel the current situation is.

There is something very wrong at the moment. The total lack of Information from the club about players, who's in, who's out, DR, injuries is just staggering. The 21 nan squad announcement is like a lucky dip. Who's he? Where he gone? Etc etc. (And don't get me going on the stupid 5 second video of team selection) The you tube video from Mr Nicholas this week, about some positive news, announced on Friday night. Absolutely nothing on social media about what it is, I'm assuming through "detective" work it's about the floodlights? Of course we haven't the budget to complete with other clubs but just to be kept informed by the club would help the fans understand. Today was a disaster. I still think on paper it's a decent side but that's a few heavy defeats this season. Relegation is a possibility and unthinkable. Look at Keighley. Need to turn this around.

Think Castleford and Lingard are taking the ######, tbh. Hooley allowed to go to Featherstone. I thought we were DR? Kibula with us one week, not the next, then doesn't even make the Castleford squad? We haven't got the depth of squad to take hits like that.l, especially when we get injuries. We need to be very careful this season, because if we go down, i do fear for the club.

Think the pricing is putting everyone off. My partner and I came to both challenge cup games, that's £80 in two weeks. In this day and age, for many that's just too much money. Surely the club can offer some incentive for games like this? There seems to be nothing. Then walking down Mount Pleasant, after the game, a girls game of rugby league taking place on Taylor Street pitch. Lots of adults, obviously parents, watching. Surely an idea to get that sort of game at Mount pleasant, and get those adults and kids Into the stadium? I just feel the club are not trying to promote ideas to get more footfall?

James Brown back on board?

Wembley is to blame because the Impact of not winning, and losing by such a close margin has affected the players. Also the run to Wembley, has meant that the small squad has had no breaks, and it's all unfortunately caught up with us. IMO!
