| Quote This club invests heavily in a community programme - look at the numbers of staff described on the website FFS. The end goal of this (and ONLY real original reason for its existence) is to increase attendances. But with the same breath the club makes it structurally impossible to achieve this goal. Work that one out! Nuts, absolutely nuts.'"
You honestly think the RFL solely invest in the community programme to increase the numbers watching Professional RL....
and not to produce players like LMS, Cubb...........
Interesting thoughts 
Are we therefore saying the majority of fans attending RL in Britain are 18-30, male, fit, not physically handicapped etc
I will look closely at the Saints fans tonight on the Sky game |

This is a classic case of not being able to please everyone. Good on the community marketers in the North having a good laugh, we are a very different proposition to what they are and those in charge at our club believe Saturday 3pm is the way forward and I agree with them.
I find this little dig at the keyboard warriors voting quite amusing. So the only people that were bothered voting went for Saturday and you have a problem with this? Sounds like these people who play RL at am amateur level are desperate to come and see us. Oh, but I suppose they have no internets and only the sad acts on here vote?
I don't understand this argument about free tickets either. They don't work because they are valueless? So if I was given a free ticket for the season, I wouldn't use it? I paid £25 for a season ticket last year and £99 this year. Are you saying that a step up from free to paying for it isn't possible? Its only possible at all if we get them in the ground and people clearly weren't interested last year.
Additionally, is it also the case that everyone playing RL amateurly wants to come and actually watch it? Especially considering the often large levels of travelling involved, particularly difficult on a Sunday.

I don't care where I sit as long as I can afford it and I can see the match.

| Quote And yes, I have evidence that I cannot share with you. I know practically every marketer in every SL club. Give them a call if you like, their names and numbers are on club websites. It's really very logical as HKB, in his inimitable and succinct style sums up far more eloquently than I ever could (thanks!)

As I said on the depressed mini-bus back from Huddersfield, it's about supporting your team and the commaradery amongst your fellow supporters.
I'm just happy to be there.

WQ - sorry, I've only just managed to pick myself up off the floor after your hilarious statement.
I can only say that you've proven yourself to be a prize buffoon with limited IQ. I suspect you're probably studying on the same Basket Weaving course as your self-centred, 'Sunday's are best for me, therefore for all' mate Listy!
Roundly applauded by HKB then an attempted put down by you. What a moment! 
In the north of England, the community game plays on a Sat in the Summer too. Some of the teams further down the comps and (BARLA) play on Sunday mornings. But they still have time to get to their home SL games as they don't live in a sprawling metropolis like London.
The kids of the community game today are the fans of tomorrow mate. That is the way it works. Simple. Very, very simple.
You are completely out of touch with community marketing strategies of the modern day clubs. I suggest you call Neil Kelly at your home town club and ask him; or alternatively Adam Jude, now at Salford, but who set it up at Warrington.
I suspect in reality you're not such a tough man yourself; it's one thing to cast aspersions about a man and his gel usage on an internet forum...... 
I also suspicious that when you're not on here, you're probably hanging around players bars in a vain attempt to pick up the occasional autograph or conversation. Correct?  |
