Quote: littlerich "

Attendance was disappointing though. Work commitments meant that i couldn't make it either. That's the one thing that we constantly struggle with - enticing the local population down to the Shay. It will keep us out of SL that's for sure.'"


Was the game marketed? People didnt even know there was a game on. Its one constant let down from the club, as hard as they try and work in other areas.

I find it hard to disagree. They do lots of things that don't seem to get noticed and has as often been said - it's an organisation full of volunteers but facts are facts - the attendances are one of two things that will prevent the step up to SL; the other being the lack of a moneybags backer. Other clubs in this league face exactly the same problems. There's no-one streets ahead (out of Leigh, Fev and Fax) and i think it's essential that these clubs have to push on through the 3,000 barrier at least.

FAX TIL I DIE:



When the rfl make it up as they go along and no promotion and relegation each year it hardly gets the most hardened of supporter excited about the future never mind new supporters.

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg

A reasonable target for increasing your attendance would be 300 per season, to achieve this, you need to introduce 6,000 new people to you matches every year , to catch a large number of fish, you use a net ( or a hand grenade ) , not a hook and line

Good point and now the Courier is weekly the club need another 'vehicle' to advertise games, even the boards at the Shay did not have the game on them so how do fans know other than on the website?
Come on why not use that A frame next to the swimming pool used for the boxing but sponsored by Reactive Group???

missed Divo, Robbo and Dane.

Ashall! ... thought he may have been subbed at one point as he was having a stinker.

The club should move up to the next level.

Kidnap. Herd victims into the stadium. Get them hooked - "Stockholm Syndrome" rlWikipedia says it's ok to do thisrl

Hey presto - increased attendances.

FAX TIL I DIE:



Quote: Fax4Life "Nowt wrong with the try I guess they thought the final pass was forward which it wasn't both the Ref and Linesman were close enough to call it and they were both happy hence TRY.
What a poor performance from us we played too much one man stuff and coughed the ball up far too easily, Ashall had a mare he has gone right off his game, but we won and we can play miles better than that, I guess the tough game on Sunday costs us a bit while they had rested 4 players at Fev.
We will play better a week on Sunday when Batley or Sheffield come to town'"


16-6 up and a set on their line with 5 mins til half time, ashall spills it straight from the scrum, they go up the other end and score. It was stupid stuff like that all game, Harrison will have been pulling his hair out.

I was looking at the premier sports schedule earlier it looks like both games are televised next week. Our game on Sunday goes live on premier at 13:30, is there any build up or is it straight in and the game kicks off at 13:30?

Glad we got rid of Jones, he didn't throw and smart pass for Keighley all game.

If they had a decent 6 it would be season over now.

Watching Fax at moment should come with a health warning...

Should come with free connect 4 more like! Our ball retention is poor but mostly creates a very flat atmosphere in the ground. I find it pretty boring to watch at times and extremely frustrating. Much improvement needed really

You are taking the pi$$ aren't you ?

Did you not hear Emmo at HT announce that we had the local golden girl win her second gold medal of the games tonight ??? I know loads of folks who stayed at home to watch her on tv.

How can the club seriously market the game at four days notice ?
To be reasonable there was a mention about the usual pre-match food being unavailable on the club website. You don't think that only hits our club in the pocket ?

I know from talking to a club official on tues night how many they expected the gate to be tonight and it wasn't far off, live tv, season ticket holders having to pay at the gate, short notice to take time off work for shift workers, Hannah on tv, kids back in school etc etc etc.

Where were the Keighley fans as well.

Jones scored a good try though!
We hardly ever switched play and often gave the ball to the man with markers on him, but well done to Tiger for running the ball when we all thought a drop goal was coming and it won the game, phew!

Fev fans saying on their forum that Tonka went off before the end of the game with a suspected broken arm. Did anyone else see this? That would be bad news.
