Seems somewhat unambitious to me. Olly put an extra 1,000 compared to the 2009 attendance against Salford.

So, so far Rovers have gained a reported 200 extra shirt sales, a cancelled dinner and a few extra columns in tomorrows chip paper.

And it's cost them one deregistration, one happy prop forward, 4 clarifying press releases from an ever more alarmed RFL, the good will of their peer clubs and the cost of the most lavish welcoming buffet ever laid on in their history. Ever.

Wonder how many fans were at the training session this morning?

I disagree.
Crusaders wont bring many fans so a 2k increase would be huge.
Its the Home game after that which would be the bigger test.
Getting those fans back in who are coming on Sunday to see Mason's debut.

Therefore a 2 game marketing plan would have been perfect.

Maybe.

Blimey you not agreeing with me are you?


As for Willie, if there was no FC on sunday and you had done an offer (£2, £5 or summat) there might have been 10 of us pop along just to see what all the hype was about, you cant deny hes a name, but just a tad short of Beckham

Dang. If only we had a Bicker thread on which to vent our spleens and stop us polluting the other boards.

Your attendance against Crusaders last season was low (the first home game after the 0-54 Saints game, I believe). In 2009 you got 8,046 against them. In that context an extra 1,000 bums on seats on Sunday wouldn't be particularly impressive with the debut of your biggest ever signing.

I take you point regarding the following home game though.

...and the biggest signing in Superleague.......

Which is on sky against the giants
