Attendance seemed very small. Passing wasn't slick. Penalities given away OK






Mac out!

Well a win is a win....and it'll give the lads confidence heading into the 2nd half of the season. 4 MASSIVE games in May now....we need a minimum of 6 points from the 8 on offer......it would be great to stop Leigh's resurgence dead in their tracks and I reckon that game is key to where we end up at the end of the season.
We also really need to boost our +/- in the back to back Sheffield games....we have a game in Hand and are well ahead of Halifax but only 50 or so against Leigh and +/- could be key.






JESUS WEPT :WALL: HOW MANY TIMES?????
£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.

There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them. :BEAT:

To be honest I thought the attendance was seriously worrying. Not least because pre-match I spotted a large pile of leaflets offering free admission to two adults on Saturday in a shop on the Broadway. I'm not on Facebook but I'm told the club posted something about putting them through a lot of local letter boxes too.

It seems we can even get people to watch us for free which is a pretty terrible place to be and not exactly likely to encourage David to believe it's worth continually hurling money at us.

I watched Prescot and Oxford, please not again

Cold, miserable, unappealing day. Stay in doors and watch TV or go and watch a new sport, albeit for free.

I suspect if it had have been summer, as advertised, we would have got a few interested parties through the gates.

Oh, and the opposition was Dewsbury - where ? I hear them say.

I spoke with a couple who are Ealing Trailfinders fans. They had come on an offer. They were impressed with the numbers on Saturday, saying their attendances are not good. It has to be said that a lot of faces were missing and Dewsbury did not bring that many down. Weather was not all that either which did not help.

Apparently there were 2,000 at Trailfinders on Sunday for the Tyrrells Premier 15s final. Union clubs are really pushing the women's game now.






Gus Mackay we salute you!!

Ah that’s why we had to play sat!
Think the fact we have lost a few games on the bounce is going to have an effect on who comes as well.
As for it being Dewsbury and saying who! Difficult to change that one, even if you are super league in the eyes of non believers the only team they seem to know is wigan.
Estimates? 500-700-900

As for Tyrell’s and 2000 it was a final! And women’s rugby union (and league on a smaller scale) is getting a fair bit of press.

Interestingly the times sport on Sunday had reports on all the SL games, usually they just ignore it or give it a small para.

Guesstimate 400 perhaps at kick off. It filled a bit, a touring French junior RL team arrived at half time.

I think the football factor was significant. A lot of teams were playing key games and I know a few missing for that reason.

Ouch! That’s not good number, so officially it will be around 700 then with the way clubs count!
Competing against other sports is always going to make it difficult.
Interesting to hear at least a little bit of interest from Ealing fans, wonder if they will come back.
