Quote: SmokeyTA "So you have got fewer casual fans and more regular fans, this is a good thing It is massively more difficult to attract regular fans than it is for a one off game.

Also how do you explain the relative stability of Halifax’s attendances? Is that down to the improvements at the Shay?

Like Fax' and Leigh improving facilities and focussing on the league they were in rather than chasing promotion for their 'season in the sun' ,means they have a bigger, more stable, fan base under franchising than they did under P+R?'"


While I agree the improved facilities are a good thing. Without casual fans you do not get regular fans, you need new people in, get them hooked and make them regular fans. Halifax is a rugby town and a team that play exciting games. I used to travel from York to every game,( I was not the only one) before I moved to far to go and watch, now I get up at 5-6am to listen to the radio on the internet. Sadly radio Leeds seems not to put the games on the internet now.
Improved facilities are no good if you have no one to enjoy them by the way. Ask Salford.

What always makes me laugh is that these lower league club fans often spend a lot of there time and energy on here venting there anger. Whilst they would be more productive if they went to there clubs and tried to do something about it. I often see Leigh fans (mainly) and to some extent Halifax fans venting anger towards Super League. You never see many Fev Rovers fans doing that and look what they are achieving at there club.

Concentrate on getting your own club's run properly then you might be in a position to criticize your exclusion. P & R was killing Rugby League and destroying the lower leagues.

What a load of ivory tower ignorant rubbish. You've no idea have you?

What on earth do you expect fans of lower clubs to do exactly? If you were in their position you'd be doing the exact same damn thing so be thankful you were lucky enough to support a club with more stroke and stop judging.

Quote: Derwent "Read from Page 23 onwards of the recent "Watkins Review", it explains how monies are distributed within the game.

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

That'll be mostly me then, well funnily enough after investing tens of thousands of pounds into ' my ' club and still the other directors not listening, I had to resign ( basically to save what little money I had left ) , I have since then tried to ' educate ' both my club and others in how to increase income specifically in the light of a Franchised upper tier, but to no avail, it is a toss up who is the most incompetant, the highly paid experts at Red Hall, or the club owners

However it is the RFL s resonsibility to provide the right sort of enviroment for all clubs to prosper, this they have miserably failed at , so until they do manage to do that, I'll continue to criticise them

As for the lack of Fev fans complaining, try totalrl.com, thats were they post , only 3/4 come on here, and they tend to stick to the Leigh and Fax boards
