| In view of the fall out from the Bulls' situation and the "closed shop" perception some have of super league, as well as the farce of a club £1.5 million on debt being awarded a B licence, do you feel strongly enough to boycott RL events not including Halifax?

| TBH i dont go to them anyway apart from England V Australia but i have never been to a SL GF and have no intentions of going unles Fax get there in 2150. The only problem with boycotting these events would be the Two world cup games that we are getting next year?

| The best thing we could do right now is to increase our own attendances - to show the RFL that Fax can attract the paying public. Bring a friend on Sunday. Bring yer mam and dad. Bring yer wife! (Leave the dog at home though )
If we end up in SL and only manage 3,000 at home then we'll get hammered - on and off the pitch. The club have done everything right to keep us at the top of the game outside SL. They (and us) now need to knock down the last fence.

Quite right Rich , however it needs more than another version of our ' fetch bob ' campaign
Get your community dept working overtime to fill it with freebies , but all carefully controlled , it really isnt rocket surgery , it just needs a bit of thought and some hard work , I'll even volunteer to come over and do it myself
But it does require the will to make it happen , and a set aside budget for marketing being the first money allocated every year , I'd even put it in a seperate bank account so it cannot be used up for the usual day to day stuff that takes any spare , your 20 K profit would be the perfect amount
It really does boil down to community and marketing

| Get real !
You either want to go or you don't.
If you want to go, you'd just be cutting your nose off to spite your face.
If you don't want to go, not much of a boycott, is it ?

He's not really Griff.
You can get a clue in the name r f .
The L for league has been left out as a cunning stratergy to try and fool us and if we were from Sheffield it would have done.

| Starbug - No! No freebies - it annoys those who pay!! Our game must NOT be sold cheaply - it's why Bradford are in a mess and it's why Huddersfield are not sustainable. If the reality is that people don't want to watch our game for £15 then so be it - stick with the Championship as it is with crowds of 2,000. I don't buy into this notion of offering the first customers the product for free, get them hooked and then charge them later. I don't think it works - just my opinion. Marketing by all means - yes but NO freebies.
If a club is going to market properly it has to convince people that they're missing out on something by not attending. Halifax have done the on-field product offering already - now - somehow - they have to add a bit of pazzazz to the match day experience and pre-match build up during the week. Losing the Courier didn't help. The job just got harder. It all takes a lot of cash to do that though, something that we don't really have.

| I've boycotted rfl events since they brought licensing in and cancelled sky and I feel great! Will only watch games involving Halifax these days. Totally unhappy about the sl feeder club idea too, why should we have their juniors foisted on us. Can't they see they are disillusioning all fans below stupid league?

Ive arranged to be frozen in suspended animation until this time so that i can also witness a RFL without corruption and favouritism.

| It`s years since I went to the Challenge Cup, Grand Final or any Super League ,Nations matches I have no interest whatsoever. There was a time we went to them every year and organised a bus full of people to take with us ,not now and what is more I don`t even miss it. I cannot even watch Super League on the TV now after a few mins I get bored,I do get marketing stuff from the RFL and I often let them know I will not buy tickets to watch something they don`t want my club to be part of.It won`t make no differance to them but it does make a differance to me and I can choose to spend my money how I want and it`s not going on propping Bradford up.

Its all about the control Rich, look at how W1g4n market and sell the ' Big One ' , I'd suggest that the local council would have enough families to fill the Skircoat , ditto the local hospitals, then schools and education personel, couple that with encouraging maximum away support and entice all the ' Bobs ' you can, pick out 4 games a year and market to death
As I said, not easy, hard work and a bit of cash , but it is the only way
