I thought that the person funded by the RFL was to try and help clubs increase revenue from sponsorship/businesses and the like, not via bums on seats.

Just extra revenue I thought, but I will check.

I could be wrong Fred I often am

More 'pennies in the pound' from Lisa will find thier way into the club than any other source of income.

The lottery has to pay winners, ticket sales goes towards LSV. Pies and pints go to some franchise company.

£5 a month, around a quid a week.....and every single penny helps the club. Come on folk you know it makes sense.

I re-joined up a couple of months ago. I did consider just doubling my Lottery flutter but felt LISA deserved my support.

Every penny goes to the fund for players, not partially paid out to a lucky win (who wont be ME!) and also there is the community aspect of being part of the team (even though I cannot attend meetings for obvious reasons)..

PLus LISA itself is a vehicle for raising more money than just the fiver a month, and can also be a rallying point for supporters (e.g. getting coaches to Gateshead).

I also think having a healthy supporters club is itself good publicity and shows the vibrancy and support for the club that there is..

Just my 2 cents..

The main focus of the club should be not just to get more ' bums on seats ' , it should be to fill the stadium , yes that is correct , I said

Fill the stadium

Until the stadium is full for every game the club is underachieving

Now the 1 st part of that will hopefully start with a return to attractive attacking RL under our ' new ' coach

Then you have to get the people of the town in to see it

Then you need to convince enough of those people that they have been entertained and get them to want to pay to be entertained again

Simple really ahhhh the drinking tent). AT was stood outside the stand near the exit and fans obviously approached him questioning what's going on and looking for answers etc etc, and considering AT had invested a lot more than anyone else he was rational calm and hid his own I'm sure disappointment trying to answer all the fans that had surrounded him their questions about what was going on without any sign of wanting to get away. The ones that was there will vouch about this.
What a tremendously nice genuine man he is, and all the more reason to take some of that monetary burden away from him by contributing in whatever way you can. The man is going that extra extra mile, by giving the fans what they want - Ian Millward with a very competitive squad.

Never , But that should not preclude us from attempting it in the future

If you do not reach for the stars you will not reach the moon

quite right mate

your probably right i do get confused by some things said on here but if we go back to milwards first stint here and then terzis we played better rugby year on year and the gates from 1,000 approx to over 3,000 and then the slump came again
