Handley and Ford are good mates I understand. Which kind of explains it. No one can possibly think Ford has done a good job and is the man to take us forward.

All i can think off its down to money ££

[lingaro]

2 more years of dross

[FR23]

Handley and Ford do come dine with me on a regular basis

  Supporters will have to accept the glory days are over.Top 4 or 5 Championship club at best.And under IMG rules behind Toulouse Bradford York and Widnes in the line up for a SL place in 3 years time.Can't see gates of many more than 1200 less than half of attendance 2 years ago.2 1/2 years ago we beat Leigh in the first game of the season.Look where they are now and our position as a team lucky to make the Championship play offs.We don't need full time players those days have gone,Rebuild with players who enjoy playing rather than put money first.Ford could not inspire or motivate players,his look tells all has anyone ever seen him smile and not blame his players for bad performances.

Great advertisement for RL Brasfors fans booing and jeering at young Featherstone cheer leaders trying to entertain the home support well done Bradford very classy.

I remember 'us' sacking a coach because his style was 'boring" and another because he didn't want to go full time before it was even a possibility that he needed to.........

I don't think so and we'll have more fans walking away.

Thanks for admitting you missed the Fev players warming up when the cheerleaders were on on the pitch.

[lingaro]

Rubbish it was nothing to do with the players and you know it.

So players are on pitch and cheerleaders are too. But you think the Bulls are just booing the cheerleaders

Crazy.

I guess you also missed the cheerleaders from both teams where together when players came out.

The Bulls fans definitely booed the Featherstone cheerleaders on/off the pitch about 15-20 mins before KO. Awful attitude towards youngsters. Video footage will be sent to the club.

If he's got a contract beyond the end of this season you really have to worry (if you weren't already) about the leadership  of the Club

Yeah I was disappointed but not surprised at the Bradford fans.  Jesus they hate us don't they.  Once the game was beyond us they spent more time gesturing across to us.  Even when they scored they were more obsessed with looking at us rather than celebrating the score.  An ugly side to sport for me and more what you expect to see at at a football match.  (Not just the "forward pass" bunch on the halfway line but the whole of the 'Ian Patchett and Nicola Kay Mortgages Terrace').  I started to get a complex and had to check that I'd remembered to put on my trousers and underpants before I set off.  I suppose you have to understand that they've had to endure quite a few years of being dominated by us minnows and given that they used to be famous, they need to enjoy their moment.
