Quote: Stealth Comic " Only 20 years ago there were 5 times the amount of fans coming though the turnstyles.
After combat sports, Rugby League is one of the most violent sports there is, the product on the field is hardly conducive for bringing kids down to. Though if you are going to attract kids down you have to align it with a strategy that retains these kids when they become adolescent and have to pay more to get in otherwise it's virtually pointless.
The stewards look like they've been taken off the doors of the 101 and are generally ill mannered and intimidating. Not exactly what you want if you're trying to attract families down.'"
As your comments what you put above Stealth,
20 years ago correct me if i am wrong!? that you was not even a teenager? so Rugby League must of been so wrong for you to WATCH! as your quote "most violent sport there is, the product on the field is hardly conducive for bringing kids down to" Do they play this sport in schools?? BOXING is one of the most violent sport there is compared to rugby being the most CONTACT sport there is.
Setting rules on children oh lets just frighten them away before any chance of coming to the game and also its for parents to tell their children too! Do you have any? well if you did you would warn them before hand too! not just one person responsible for their behaviour.
Stewards they are there if any trouble, and also to prevent trouble, thats what they are trained for, what do you expect them to do open their arms to give you a cuddle and kiss? Ive not had any problems with the stewards, never ill mannered or intimidating as you say.
