Well they are on a daily diet of bull up there

Glad to see all those Stobarts mobile SKY adverts are finally paying off

Funnily enough I saw one the other week up near Carlisle. I thought they would have all been removed by now but apparantly not.

Same here. The Cas one. It's now got an ad for the magic weekend splattered over the back of it.

The principle behind the idea is potentially a good one, specifically if aimed at promoting the matches on SKY, if it had been a deal like the ' IRN BRU ' on SKY rather than the named primary sponsor, however how the " Its all about following your local team " fits into that who knows

I wonder what the ' lifespan ' of a side curtain on a Stobart truck actually is ? , I doubt they'll change them until they have to

An interesting point on sports attendance is on show at the moment, despite it being 2 Premiership clubs on show the Stadium Of Light is looking very sparce for a Cup match to be 2 matches from Wembly, Season Ticket only football fans as well it would seem

The Stobart adverts weren't on the curtainsde vehicles, they were on "rigids" and it either needs a long time exposed to the elements or a tin of paint.
In actual fact they are probably transfers and could be removed and something else put on instead.

Exactly. People have been making out the drop in CC attendances is the fault of SL and the RFL but in reality domestic cup competitions don't hold the same appeal anymore.....not just in RL. Man City are playing Chelsea later, nobody is really fussed who wins.....nothing like when the two met in the league a few weeks back. Most of the build-up has centred around Mourinho's mind games over Pellegrini and others and how this would effect the title race. Not that arguably the 2 strongest teams in the country are clashing.

Oooops......47,013 seats filled out of 47,800. Not sure if your point still carries much weight when discussing Challenge Cup attendances........blast those 1.17% empty seats

Do read dear boy.

I said no one would be really fussed who won. Chelsea fans and probably their manager won't be bothered they're out. Have a Liverpool fan at work, even last week he said he hoped they'd lose so they can just concentrate on the league.

condescending pr1ck....I can read just fine thanks.



As I said, 47,013 in attendance at the game blows holes in your badly thought out sweeping and incorrect comments.....Water-cooler moments aside

Oh yeah no one cared, they just held 47k people at gun-point and made them go to the game.

you'll be giving Mar ideas
