| I also forgot the addition of more disabled facilities around the clubhouse.
What improvements would you like to see?
Obviously the level of the pitch and terracing at the post office round end would be obvious answers.

You need to be about 170 miles south of where you currently are. Watford should do it.

| Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "Why did they publish a faked attendance, then? Is 3,890 a magical number that will secure great advantages for Fev? Is 3,890 a number that when I looked at it, should instantly impress everyone who will then all say, "Wow, look, if Fev can get 3,890 in a league decider they must immediately be promoted to SL"? Or maybe they just want to pay more VAT?'"
PR. They want to project the image of a club on the rise, and as a bigger club than London Broncos. If this was their big day, they definitely had to post a crowd of over 3,594 (London's highest of the season so far).
Having said that, I didnt see the game so have no idea what the crowd was and whether the number is realistic.

| Quote: Chris.Taylor "In the late 90's, early 00's we had a fair few financial issues, that thankfully we moved on from, however in 1997 the family stand was built, moving from a terraced (roofed) stand, into a modern all seating stand.
Just before the club got relegated it improved it's learning centre, meaning the club could work more with the local schools etc.
In 2004, the club hit a low point and was relegated in National League 2 (at the time), seeing us in 2005 hit a real low point and really was the start of promising things to come.
The club in 2007 then had a new chairman (Mark Campbell) who was influenced by the friend of Featherstone, with new directors coming in and starting what we have today.
Since then, the club has extended it's offices, coaching area, training facilities, updated the clubhouse and co-operate facilities etc.
In the last 3 weeks we've seen the start of the new state of the art training facilities. Plus also we've seen the railway end demolished and a new stand progressing nicely. Once this has been completed, the clubhouse will be extended allowing more than 120 sponsors in the dining area.
For a club that doesn't get much tv revenue, I personally believe it is huge progress compared to other Super League clubs who have had an awful lot of financial backing.
Final point is, we own our own stadium and 17 acres of land, so everything in the stadium is run by the club.
Hope that answers your question.'"
Unfortunately it doesn’t. The question I asked was why they were still relatively so poor. Not as an absolute. I have no doubt that Fev have done well to get decent facilities for a semi-pro community club. They don’t have poor facilities for a full-time SL club, they just simply don’t have the facilities of a full-time SL club. They simply aren’t there.
Clubs are proving time and time again that they can’t compete with average attendances bigger than the fev stadium holds, how are Fev going to compete when they haven’t been able to afford to get in place the facilities and infrastructure to even hold the amount of people they need? Are we hoping Mr Nahaboo and his friends just throw money at the club in perpetuity?

I've no reason to question the attendance at Featherstone last night, as opposed to the CC Final where corporate indifference to the event resulted in 15,000 empty club wembley seats being included in the official attendance.

| Quote: SmokeyTA "They are still poor, but double the capacity and we have a start.
If you look at those clubs you see the point I am making. Wakefield and Cas with bigger stadiums, a better start point and a bigger potential market haven’t been able to compete at the top, and have struggled to be sustainable even simply bumbling around at the bottom. How are Fev, with the disadvantages they face going to be able to be so much better? Because if they aren’t, they are going to face exactly the same problems Wakefield and Cas do, plus those ones which are specific to Fev.'"
It looked like they'd sold a lot of flat caps though.
