I'll ring the club up and get figures for the schools, im gonna guess its lower than last year(pre franchise), the other 2 points he made stand, he named names and mentioned the zone, by your own admission you "think" schools use it

That good enough?

No - can you also ask if there is a direct link between Giants getting a Franchise and any reduction.

In response to severl posts about not seeing Giants players at clubs etc - maybe they get less free time because of increased training or a more regimented regime. I'd rather have the lads performing on the field than in panto!

Not sure what you mean there Wadski, do you mean do we do less know we have the franchise?

No - I mean that this is no tangible link between us getting a franchise and a reduction in the community team.

Its an improvement. However the original poster should be doing this spade work BEFORE making 'accusations.'

Not clear which 2 points you are refering to?

When DMH wrote that ALL activities are at the Zone this is wrong. Totally untrue. Utter nonsense.

Also DMH refers to Lisa Jagger leaving the club. that was 3/4 years ago! What on earth does that have to do with the community work since a licence was awarded? Smacks of muck raking rather than reason.

I give up, your either being an argumentive sod for the sake of it or you just aint reading whats been written



Doesnt seem like they mentioned Lisa leaving recently



That not true then? Name me any other places it takes place at? Apart from Leeds road in the summer months which just replaces the Zone



Were Ryan and Mick the community officers and know there's only Ryan so thats a 50% cut.

Are you staying on this stuck record or actually write some facts to prove the poster wrong?


Just like i posted the other week, sometimes on here its gets tedious and boring with this relentless point scoring bollox cos i know more than you do rubbish

Its boring mate

Post something to counter their claims or give it a rest till they come back and answer for themselves and we can move forward with this "debate"

I think can answer most of those questions by reading the community section of the Giants club website as to why and how it has changed.

lock it - its boring pointscoring bollox !!

I think this is done

"I believe Rugby League’s strengths to be in its community values and fabulous playing spectacle. On Saturday we will see both perfectly showcased at our ground. We have ten local teams playing under 8 curtain raisers prior to the main event then at half time have 20 schools demonstrating their cheerleading prowess all of which have come from our community departments involvement in the local areas. The game speaks for itself in terms of profile and its great that our main broadcast partner has chosen to televise it.”
