Quote: The Dentist Wilf "Yeh I was there with him that night and it was a good idea it was to be pub based and there was interest from Market Weighton Cottingham, Brough and Beverley, but as Karen says the Club has trimmed the resources within the budgets of everything except the playing side. James Clark does a great job with absolute minimum resources but has so much ground to cover its not really a starter I guess. On that occasion Tony Roberts was a big driver of the idea but it then fizzled out! It a great idea but tough to deliver without the necessary staff.'"
The drive and resource should come from the fans with the club only providing enabling input IMO. If Clarkey's had a go once and it's not taken off I wouldn't expect him to be offering up material further resources unless presented with a compelling reason to. I personally think we get unprecedented access to the club and players through shop events, annual barbecue, giving our passes etc, there's open training this week too and we have regular fan forums. I get the geographic group point though l and probably West Yorkshire could be a goer, but to get the club engaged beyond posting contact details of an organiser and ad hoc advice would be a call on finite resource.
