Quote ="fartown since 1961"mmmm we paid off sheffields debts £565,000 never got the balance of the money for the Keith Senior transfer £180,000, had to hire Brammall Lane to play in Sheffield and when we still got relegated had to give Martin Gleeson to Saints for nowt market value at the time £150,000 at least, Chris Bridge to Bradford market value at least £50,000 etc etc.... so don't go saying how we gained from this.... the RFL didn't want Sheffield to be seen to be going bust... I woulda merged with Gateshead a lá Hull every time it was a far better deal than we got..... We didn't need Sheffield the RFL dangled a carrot and we took it... we shoulda gone down and come straight back up as we did later... but don't hit us about Ken D when you now have Glover 'the saviour' because we have already been there and like all clubs with these guys Davey, Lenagan, Moran, Hetherington Alf Davies etc etc Hull with Pearson eventually someone will have to step in.....'"
it's exactly this sort of post that wazzes me off with the fart owners - in hindsight, what you are saying is that the support and process by which you were meant to strengthen wasn't neccessarily a good thing or something that you wanted to do -hmmmm, wait a minute - maybe that's what wildcat supporters are feeling about the last 12 months. Come back in 3 years and maybe we'll tell you how we feel about the whole thing in hindsight. In the meantime just accept that every club has it's ups and downs - and when you go on the attack with us we have a legitimate and needful excuse to remind you of your own chequered and(in the case of Sheffield) shameful history
