Quote from: SassySideline on Oct 25, 2025, 11:11 AMGlad to see some sense from some members. Supporters have absolutely no say in player recruitment as you well know. Been at the club 35 years, it's a brilliant club, family feel and great atmosphere. We aren't the only club to do this as you also well know, and no I don't feel like a clown thanks and no I didn't know the facts until you probably did. I can't wait to watch the match today. Have a great rugby day all. Rugby for the win 🏆

Well said, I do think there are a few on here casting aspersions from their glass houses. Whilst the Just Giving account was ironic at best, the supporters aren't responsible for that and how long are people going to keep banging on about it?

I was at the cup semi a few seasons ago and the atmosphere for the game and in the clubhouse after was brilliant, although it was the same decor in the club as all the christenings and birthdays I went to in the 90's!

👍🏻 we have had a facelift inside recently. Welcome anytime.
As a supporter yes the go fund me was embarrassing to be honest, and the players also felt that. But that wasn't us it was the powers that be. Perhaps these players come to us because we are genuinely a brilliant club.

Quote from: Pristine Shorts on Oct 24, 2025, 11:46 AMSalem embraced the "semi-pro" code many years ago and it took them to Twickenham a couple of times. They lost a lot of friends doing so though, like the Bees down the road.
Our teamsheet from our 2007 trip to twickenham, had not one professional or ex professional player. #factcheck

Does Fogi being on the books at Bradford City count as being an ex-professional sportsman? 😂
😂😂😂 it will definitely count to the moaners (even though it was 30 years ago)

That's great to hear that you are investing in your facilities. In the long run it should be ever clubs number one priority. Leaving good facilities for the next generation will ensure your club is here for the next generation to enjoy.

Players come and go but the walls you build last forever.
Loving all rugby but especially at grassroots level.

Without opinions there would be no forum.....as long as we remember rugby values.

Lots of opinions on here with little knowledge of the facts.

Like the saying goes opinions are like ar5eholes, everyone has one.

At the end of the day as long as we get to see some great rugby and the players demonstrate the values on and off the pitch we are all happy!
