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 |

Only you could dream up the fact that fans have had a go at them? Who did?

If they let everyone in free then there'd be no money to give to Mencap. Good idea though if it weren't for the charity aspect. Think it's normally £10 to get in but someone from Hornets may be able to check me on that?
And people can always buy tickets even if they can't attend the game - give a little to Mencap.

But that isn't really the point of the exercise , what Dale are trying to do is to create an ' atmosphere ' at Spotland that will be attractive to bringing people back again , as that is what is missing at most lower tier matches
As our friend Russ said " Everybody loves a party with a happy atmosphere "  |

They wont get 10k but its all about press releases. No point putting one out saying we are hoping for 3,000

Fully agree but there might be a few people who might want to support Mencap and the Hornets but can't go to the game cos their own team is playing at the same time.

Castleford aimed for 10k in Super League albiet against Quins but they gave had buy one get one free on adults tickets and may have had some free kids tickets too, anyway the attendance was 7k. This was a big attendance for this game considering Quins travelling support but it still fell short of 10k.

That's pretty poor for a super league club really. |

Great stuff.

This will put most super league teams to shame.'"
Why even mention SL clubs at all?
It's an incentive by Rochdale Hornets, so why not talk about it?
Wildly optimistic and a bit pointless even mentioning 10k, but at least they are having a go at boosting what is sadly a not very popular sport in Rochdale. |
