Correct from the first game as a teenager, sent from the Radio Station I worked for to cover the game against Wigan! born in St Helens, followed Saints as a kid, but that day at Fulham I changed my alliances, and followed the team through every move and name changes, many seasons every home and away game, and Academy matches away when on a Saturday.
No regrets, I still Believe there is so much potential, I thought we had broken through with the World Challenge Matches at The Stoop, sponsored the match ball for one of the games, and sponsored so many players! over the years.
Yes we have had our faults as a Club at times, the way it is run, but I put blame on The RFL and now Super League who have such a small minded attitude, who felt it was a better investment to buy a big hole in the ground, than invest in The Capital City of LONDON!
Happy Christmas to all of the Fans that feel the club means so much to them!
I doff my cap to you jaybs for your unstinting love of the club. You are a true fan & have earned the right to have a view of how the club is run as have any of the Old Guard that remain. Of course, Northernbloke doesn't agree you have any right at all but just pump your money into the club then bugger off.
The 1st 4 years I tried to fit in home & away for both the footy & rugby teams, not always possible with games usually only Saturday or Sunday but made Friday nights in the pub fun trying to work out how to fit it all in or who had to remain sober.
Sadly after that work & other commitments have restricted me to home games & anything dans la belle France.Hughes for sure has made mistakes we all do. Rumours that he ignored this bit of advice or that bit of advice is pure conjecture unless there is evidence to the contrary. However, we are all hostage to fortune & who knows where we would be if:
a) Virgin hadn't have pulled out.
b) Brisbane/Marantas hadn't pulled out.
c) Lenegan had stayed if Wigan were not for sale.
d) Bloodgate hadn't happened & Jillings & Evans had remained in control of Harlequins.
Answers on a postcard to..........
Anyway let's hope we can all get back to watching our team(s) in the flesh soon. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.
PS New Year's Resolution...Not to get irritated by Northernbloke's posts on referees or fans rights.
