Quote: Always Travelling "A few years ago I went to Castleford for a Halifax game. Walking around the ground I found in one section, stalls selling sweets and small Castleford merchandise such as scarves and flags.There was also a bouncy castle and other stuff for the kids. It was a busy little area full of family's.
I have also been told and have never witnessed for my self, that at the Sydney rugby league games you turn up just before lunch with BBQ and beer and watch first an under 15's game then a under 16's game then a reserve game then the main event, the first team. Other entertainment is on inbertween the games also.
I do like the Idea of having as meany things as possible around the ground to give it a carnival atmosphere and family orientated environment at all the games.
I am not suggesting we allow people to have their own BBQ and drink their own beer. The point is entertainment is what Halifax have to sell. The rugby team do a fantastic job at this but if you could increase the entertainment or make it last for longer more people will attend the games. If you can make an afternoon of it you will take the family, if its for a couple of hours you may take the family somewhere you can make an afternoon of it. I know there is a cost involved but I think, (and no I have not done the sums and wouldn't be able to without looking at the books) it could be done. Also the longer you keep people around the more they will spend on food and drink and the merchandise.'"
Good idea but non of the food-drink money goes to the Club.
