Quote: HamsterChops "Problem with doing stuff like that at Odsal is always the location. Apart from people who live in the local area, the only people who would turn up would likely be driving, which doesn't lend itself to a few beers watching the football on a big screen, so they'd chose to go somewhere nearer home where they can stagger home instead. The locals who may be tempted probably already have their own watering hole they would go to for it (Cue Gardens for example). So even if they were to put it on, there wouldn't likely be many people who'd actually turn up.
The only days that make any sense doing that kind of thing at Odsal is a matchday when you've got a load of people going to Odsal anyway, so they may be tempted to go early / stay late to watch the football too. But a lot of RL fans are very anti-football so you still probably wouldn't get a huge amount. Then you're looking at costs potentially outweighing the income.'"
I say this, but then the club announce they're showing the England games on a big screen at Odsal.
Here's hoping they don't lose money on it!
