New season, time to draw a line under events of last year!



Come back Big Al !

I do too but I doubt he will be back.

Big shame IMO.

Come back you silly old person

Will add to that, we simply can't afford to lose any fans but especially those like Al - as Avenger says, draw line under it and put it down to experience

What was the reason he left?



Genuine question, not trying to open up old fights etc

He left after the now infamous "popgate" incident, when himself or maybe a youngster he was with was forced to let a steward take a look at a coke bottle in his bag.

Not just a look though was it? They refused to let him in the ground unless he handed his bottle of Coke over to them.

and then MC wouldn't apologise for it.



It looks like a small thing from the outside but when it's you it means a lot. Especially when you feel you have already given so much, as he did.



It's a shame

I miss Alf from the Casforum. Always had good words to say about our mighty club.

He only seemed to surface when we were in deep shat.

They threw him out for entering the ground with it. And subsequently when the issue was raised with the club, CB refused to apologise and put the blame on Al to his face. Anyway, his family wishes he would come back too but he is too proud unfortunately.

Come on Al,

You love the club, you love watching Rugby League, you've got friends at the games who want you there with them, you've got people who respect your opinion on this forum, you've watched Trinity when we were up the creek so come and watch now when we're looking competitive.



Your points been made, it's time to come back

Life's too short!
