| Quote ="Ferocious Aardvark"My personal guess is that the court case will quietly disappear into the sunset but it's a shame as it would have aired some rather dirty RFL washing. I know a few club chairmen will be disappointed if it does die a death. One consequence of nobody ever following through their allegations against Red Hall is that the incumbents are left to continue to run the show, and the seemingly widespread discontent about how they are doing it is just left to fester. But hey ho, nothing the fans can do about it so that's life.'"
Just worry about all the fans that have turned off RL and cannot be brought back again.

I never do, probably cos I've seen it all before. RL has its own attraction, to its own brand of supporter, and I'm sure that if we do well, we'll do OK attendances-wise too. Also it's much easier to market when you've got something worth marketing. Over to Jimmy and MG.
From a personal point of view, I can honestly say that I'm looking forward to the start of next season a helluva lot more than I am to the rest of this one.

The importance of that cannot be overstated. After years of struggle and heartache the opportunity to take steps in the right direction, be they large or small, must be a relief. You may even enjoy some rugby rather than the loyal endurance you have all been through.

| I totally understand that some may be looking forward to next year. I take no pleasure in saying that I'm probably done with it. Not just because of our fall from grace but the whole game upsets me with it's parochial ineptitude. 8x8x8? I mean wtf?
I don't watch highlight shows, I don't check for latest scores. I just feel a bit sad really. I hope to god my all encompassing disillusionment fades and I can read this post and call myself a melodramatic git at some point in 2015.

| It will be a good test. The thing that hasn't changed is, will you get that match day buzz from turning up to see how the lads do today? Whilst having your weekly commune with the folk and spirit of TGG, and the chat and banter and that rugby league only stuff that all comes with the package, whether at Odsal or Keighley or anywhere.
If you go and it doesn't, fair enough. But my money's on the game!

| I felt pretty gloomy several weeks back and the thoughts of why not finally pack it in were there, but I'm better now.
Having said which, if - as I fear - we were to move from Odsal to somewhere pathetic then I'm not sure that my nerves could take that much strain. For me that could be the last straw, I think. And as I've said I see moving as a very high probability as I just don't see how Odsal can be economic playing in front of 3K-4K crowds.
But at the mo I'm hoping for the best. Against hope, really.

| The thoughts expressed on the other thread made me wonder where people stand if they had to make the decision today.
It's a changeable vote so feel free to come back and re-vote if in weeks to come, events change your mind!

| I'll be here next season, but I'll wait to see how the season ticket is structured with the new competition structure, and what price it is, and if were serious about the squad/club rebuilding before I buy a season ticket.
Also, I've noticed on a couple of threads talk of moving from odsal, where has this come from? Have I missed something? We'll be at odsal for the foreseeable, even if we have to mothball the terrace in the medium term. I've seen nothing about alternatives, Vp will cost more, no other venues in the city are suitable IMHO, we'll be odsal, and we'll be winning more games than we have this year!

| yes, last word from Green was we are staying at Odsal, hence my criticism UNLESS he aims to develop it and the development gain is a new stadium

| So who's the 2 that's definitely gone, and how long did you support the Bulls, and can you summarise your reasons?

Although I'm obviously chuffed to bits with Cas' recent form & I will be at Headingley tomorrow night, I stopped following Cas all over several years ago due to a number of reasons. However I never lost my love for TGG & I look forward to every weekend & get to as many games as possible - whether that is at Leeds, Bradford, Keighley or Huddersfield. As long as there is a good game on offer, a good craic, a few beers, it doesn't still get much better.

I fell out with the sport a few years ago and fell out with my club in 2012/13 .
I fell back in love with the sport again by watch the nrl when i can and by watching Leigh miners and perhaps most importantly, i found time to go watch my mates lad play on a sunday morning at u12s,he's now trialing with Warrington

| The post that inspired this thread struck a chord with me – I’ve never seriously thought about packing it in, but I’m seriously disillusioned about the sport at the moment. I’m sure this is heightened because we have been through the mill as a club in the past two years, but I agree this 3X8 business in particular is a load of rot.
I think ultimately I need a short break – like others I’ve really not been following results or watching Super League Show/Boots N All. End up reading most of the results in League Express! Don’t think I’ve watched a match outside of our own for about 6 weeks/two months, probably longer which is some kind of record for me. I think this Sunday, whilst I’m dreading it in a way, will actually be a massive relief and a line in the sand. It’ll mean our next serious competitive game will be 7 months away and I can stop thinking about it so much come back with a refreshed attitude. That’s the idea anyway!

Just look for a huddle of babes, I'll be in the middle.
Failing that I think we are at the back of the Carnegie.

| I put the penultimate option for the reasons I've said before.
By the way I've moved over a few posts on this topic from Green thread.

| Now I've caught up with the new and inferred posts I've voted for the second option, although I may change my mind once we find out how much season tickets will be. On the face of it I'd probably go to VP, almost certain if we were at Odsal. I still enjoy the rugby to about the same degree as I've ever done and I still watch each televised SL (or CC) game and be certain to watch SL Fulltime.
