|  I watched them play York and the Scorpions played very very well, the game against Hunslet will be a good test, as they did catch York on a bit of an off day, if they can mix it with York Hunslet and Blackpool who are by far the strongest teams in C1 then they will do very well. I see a big future for them. |

The players in the Championship are far fitter, faster, stronger and more skilful than Championship 1. And i'd say the gap is widening fast, as Keighley and Dewsbury are far superior sides to the Gateshead and Doncaster teams that went down last time around.'"
]
The standard will and must improve in C1, crowds in the Championship are looking very healthy on the whole but C1 Crowds have dropped alarmingly, which must be addressed. It's always difficult for promoted teams but you've always got to aspire to be the best you can or what's the point of bothering?

| Yes another good crowd, The Scorpions got brough down to earth a little bit by Hunslet and have another very tricky fixture next week against Oldham. Still credit where credit due they are doing very very well so far this season and look to be building firm foundations for future success. |

Crowds like that must be bringing money into the coffers at that level.
I bet they took nearly 5 grand in tickets the other day.

| I think they only charge a fiver to get in. The emphisis is upon building a good fan base first. |

£8 it is but I don't know what freebies get given out.
Their twitter and facebook pages are really active and they know how to put themselves about. They're on the radio regularly it would seem.

Referees are like women, they make snap decisions and never reverse them.

Talk about being bitched - what a torrid time they've had. They'll be looking for some A&E rest time for the next three years at least.:simpsons/PDT13.gif |

| Quote: Wire In The Final "Perhaps when Widnes went into Administration, they should have been dropped to one of the lower leagues. Would have been saved the moaning from their fans that they didn't get into Super League, despite neither contesting the Grand Final nor having a sound financial footing.'"
GF 06&07, NR Cup 07&09. We've had a pretty decent success, we also had a fairly sound financial footing the year the franchises were announced. |

We're on tonight in fact, for an hour. Listen into www.realradiowales.co.uk from 6pm to 7pm and phone 0845 1052106 if you want to call in and chat.
The radio ads on Nation Radio and Bay Radio are going really well. We did some schools work before Easter with the RFL community vouchers (adult and a child for a fiver) and have got a good few back. 10% of the London Skolars crowd came in on this. We've followed this up with a further offer for all those who took it up.
We've made a point of not giving out freebies. I've had it taught to me that people value the occasion more if they have to pay, even if it's only a fiver.
Things are going well but it's a hard graft. |

That is what success is built upon. Well done CC (Cardiff Cymru I mean - not Celtic Crusaders)  . Keep up the hard work, it will come good with dedication like yours.

Is Cardiff involved with the club?
Like I said before, they seem to be doing a great job, building solid foundations from the ground up.

This is well worth a listen. Please download it everyone. A great programme all round. I found it strange that Dai Bishop was ignorant about the development of RL in Wales but he knows now.

I don't know what crowd was on but by everyones reaction it was impressive. And i'm a Leigh fan who, if The Scorpions went into SL because they put together a better package (like crusaders did) I back them all the way, we should do better.
Good Luck to you Scorpions
