43504.jpg Rugby League is folklore. What captures our imagination is not simply the winning or the losing, it's the stories. The stories of perseverance, of sheer will, of hard work, of heartbreak, of miracles, and of triumph and tragedy.:43504.jpg |

| I got the feeling last night, that the club regained something that has been missing in recent years, not just because of the herculean efforts of the players, and not just because of the achievement of reaching the final, but also because of the feeling of unity and collective pride in the club, and that is self-confidence, self-belief, and looking forward to a better future. The players, coaches, board, backroom staff, and supporters, should have an immense feeling of pride, not just for each other, but for themselves. For me, the atmosphere last night was electric, and I haven't felt this euphoric in a long time. I feel sorry for the nay-sayers and doubters who have moaned all season about "boring, predictable tactics", and for all the stay-away fans, you really don't know what you're missing!

Everyone had a great night last night that I spoke to and I think most accepted the situation and realised it was a one off.
While the pre booked function in the banqueting suite made things challenging for our match day team we worked very well with LSV and we gave everyone who paid for the "Match day Special" (TDC function) an exec box for the match to compensate for not having the main room after the game.
We had new sponsors with us and senior RFL representatives including Ralph Rimmer and they all seemed delighted to be in our company and all stated they enjoyed our hospitality and the whole evening which is all part of demonstrating to the powers that be we now have the investment, professional board of management and professional structures in place to match our first class facilities and RL community to be a successful SL club of the future.

| I sort of sympathise with you there Derek but we have to make money any way we can and get a real feelgood factor happening at the ground. I take my hat off to the people organising these things and maybe once in a while they could do one where everyone who has been to game could attend. I really wish I didn't live so far away sometimes as I miss a good post match pint. Especially after a game like last nights. I'm still buzzing.
