£20 when the club not only have those 17 players to pay but the rest of the squad, coaching team, back office staff, medical staff and private hospital bills for when players need operations...etc, then there is the bills and everything else. So I don't think £20 is that expensive to go and support your team, if they reduced it to around £12 like it used to be we'd be back in the National League (Championship) attracting around a quarter of the fans we get now!'"
Hmm, but at £12 would we have more support e.g. five-figure gates every game?  What you're saying makes total sense mate, just meant it's a tough balancing act - our gates kinda stalled after getting to 8000 in 2008, so is it because people are put off paying the price to get in, or maybe the East Stand extension and new stand will encourage more fans. Frustrating to think there's probably still another few thousand Rovers fans in Hull who don't attend yet. |

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 |

Stade RU at home to Brive yesterday in a sell-out. Kills the RL crowd stone-dead as we witnessed last year when there was a clash with a RU home game.

The Stade game was at 2pm, followed by the French RU v Italy, with the RL kicking off after both had finished. The rain may have beenmore of a factor.
Carlos Zalduendo was inteviewed in La Dépêche today and said that it would be quite difficult for Toulouse to go up to SL in 2012 as the stadium renovations will take 3 years and they don't meet the 12k capacity criteria. He also said that being in the championship has all the disadvantages of travel costs & time but none of the advantages of a tv deal - but it was the only way forward to get a second French club in SL. Sounds like they're planning to be in championship next year. |

Sorry Matt , that would be like us saying we cannot play at home if , Man Utd , Man City , Liverpool , Everton , Bolton , W Athletic , Warrington , or the pies are playing same day as us
Some preparation for SL , with poor crowds they'll fit in quite well |

Carlos isn't worried about SL for the moment,far from it...
I think the weather had more of an affect than anything else plus of course Stade TO is massive down here and will always take the RL crowds in the RU season and of course the financial crunch is as bad here as it is in the uk and tickets for TO & Catalans are not cheap.
but as you say,poor crowds ? yes,they will fit in very well it seems
