You start a topic with "what is the point of your club" and you're surprised that you get abuse? Terrible post by a total numpty.

I agree it's a bit rich coming from a supporter of a club that played on a building site for ten years.
We all have our problems from time to time. It'd be nice if folk recognised that.

| Quote: Hudd-Shay "Of your club? Rugby League at our level is supposed to be a spectator sport, yet your club seem to do anything possible to make it hard for visiting fans to attend. It's not as though your support base is massive and that you don't need away support. I'm a Fax supporter of over fifty years standing and i struggle, but usually make it, to games at your place. This season i can't make it and I personally know of 18 Fax fans in the same boat. This is our first away fixture of the season and I think it will cost your club at least 250/300 away fans. Again I say, what is the point? ![]()
We all love to take the Mickey Bliss out of Sheffield and their travelling support that usually struggles to fill a tandem bike. Think your post is way over the top though.

It's just his opinion. We may have got 250/300 fans who wouldn't have been able to get there on Sunday. We'll never know. We got 1100 folk there, doubt if it would've been a lot more on Sunday.
One thing you can say ... look through the record books and there's no significant difference between attendances on Fridays and Sundays. Nothing that can't be explained away by other factors such as the weather, rival attractions, the attractiveness of the opposition, Terry Jagger's dog being poorly or taking the wife shopping or whatever.
People tend to complain because it doesn't suit them. They see whether it suits everyone else as irrelevant. |

Friday night works a treat in Leeds. Stick with it, Leeds' experience suggests it's the ideal time to play in a big city.
Hope you stuff the leythers on Sunday. |

It was a win-win for me.
Leythers losing would have been ideal, but a fellow top four rival tripping up, followed by another loss last night is looking good for us.
