It's not a shock having no away fans I only expected Bradford to bring a few and I guess there will be a big turnout of Fev fans on Good Friday and Halifax will maybe bring a few but expecting teams that get 500 at home to travel in large numbers is nonsense does anybody actually remember when we were last in this league we had no away fans apart from the odd game

people have there own opinions about all matters, the Sheffield poster was having a go at the club I support so I replied, then your obsession about ben cockayne kicks in,, your assuming again, that everybody who dosent agree with you loves ben cockayne some people can speak for themselves rightly or wrongly its a forum , what gives you the right to tie certain people to ben cockayne ive never met him you should take up your issue with him

Im with you on this one, the kid made a huge mistake 10 years ago, who didn't make mistakes in their 20s? might not be as bad as he did, but what he does for the club with fundraising efforts for the RSG, plus its undisputed in the fact he bleeds red and white and loves this club to bits. Loyalty is a hard thing to find in sport, one thing you cannot question is that he is as loyal as they come. That and the fact he has played some bloody good rugby for us over the years.

But we have better wingers the problem with Ben is yes he gives 100% and can cover a few positions but he's not really good enough in any of them I'd keep him as cover only

TRUE Frankie and I think Ben knows this but he is still willing to turn up and turn out when needed

Ben has something the squad is lacking and that is experience. We have a young squad and his experience will be invaluable this season.

Maybe lots of our fans doing the moaning ( not here but on other social media platforms) don't remember support levels pre-2007? Back then most away fans congregated near us in the East Stand and so the numbers were not so easy to gauge. It was more fun then as the banter was on another level.

Apart from Haven fans, they were just massive bells.

Just be grateful it might only be one season. Try 10 years with no chance of being be promoted especially with franchise system of recent years.
