You’re really struggling here tony , you’ve gone away for a few hours and that’s the best you can come up with .

Try some prozac, Listenup, heard it helps. Just popped on rlfans for some entertainment reading the Leeds Whinos re the Catalans drubbing. You wouldn't last 2 minutes on there, pal.

Not a big fan of anti depressants tbh , I prefer natural remedies to fluctuating levels of dopamine and serotonin. Your erratic responses tell me you’re not quite capable of managing these areas in your life , I recommend some cognitive behavioural therapy sessions. You can talk to me tony .

Gets asked a perfectly reasonable question about evidence that lowering admission prices increases crowds and maintains income streams and how it has worked out this season for Keighley the team you quoted as the model to follow and answers as above

Who’s talking tripe?

Anyway I thought you were ignoring my posts, you’ve been taking a look haven’t you.

Earlier this week I booked 2 tickets In the stalls for a 2 hour show at the Vicky theatre in town and it cost £63.50 and a extra £1.50 Per ticket for insurance.

£66.50 for a couple of hours entertainment and not a rugby ball in sight.

Another reason for staying away is some people are simply not interested in particular sports including rugby league.
Nothing against FC Town and having played at county level myself, these days I have little interest in football and if I got an offer to watch them for a full season for free I wouldn’t be going.

The older I get the less interest I have in sports, feels different now , rugby league is probably my last roll of the dice it represents the working class which football no longer does . No affinity is no infinite support.

It’s across the board this inflation issue.

Up in the Lakes one of the main super markets is the Booths chain and on our way back from wandering with daffs and clouds the other week we called in for a few bits, in front of us was a lady with a good largish shop of just every day items and it came to £176

£176 and change for a decent size weeks worth of food and grocery items.

We’d bought some razor blades and they were almost a tenner so me being me said to the wife “I think we should put them back as I don’t mind you having hairy legs and a moustache” to which she replied “I think we should and get a old razor instead so she could cut my throat.”

Only a massive "re-boot" imo. As I said earlier, in the past 30 years admission has increased at a far faster rate than wages to the stage where it's now an expensive day out compared to it being the equivalent to a couple of pints. Only a BIG admission drop would get new fans which of course means a big down scaling of players' wages, etc but that would require a multi-lateral effort across the whole of RL which unfortunately is unlikely.

I buy a season ticket so don't feel the match day hit money-wise, as it's just an "invisible" annual plastic purchase (if yer get me drift) but it hurts when I open the wallet for a cup game ....... wouldn't wanna be doing that on a regular basis for league games. And it shows at all other clubs with very low cup crowds .... I remember the Cas - Hull cup match when the Cas shed was virtually empty.

Agree with some of this, a big admission drop would certainly help keep the faithful coming and at least wouldn't put new ones off from joining them but it would still mean they had to be first of all interested in the sport ( which many aren't ) and make the games interesting and competitive, ( again which many aren't. )

It's a bit like having all the tv channels that are now included free with Sky, Free View and Free Sat etc, how many do we watch that we aren't interested in or find boring? Is it only me that ends up watching country file or turning it off.

It would have to be done across the board for it to be truly effective ( but that's not going to happen ) even though there's sound financial reasoning to do so.

Using Super League as an example despite all the money that has been pumped in can we really see much improvement either in quality of playing standards and quantity of the number of top class players?

I can't, you just have the same teams ( with Leigh being the one and only exception, for now ) and the same standard of players rotating between one another but the difference is there getting paid a hell of a lot more to doing so.

If there is an answer it's beyond me so it's off to Keighley this aft and trying to decide on ST's or POTD.

Croady why not come out and say what ever it is you want to say rather than scare mongering I’d much rather pay over 6 months rather than 3 months why not just publicly say why your so bitter rather than trying to put down what the current bod are doing

You think GFB is Croady?? More likely that you are one of the new BOD!!
