So we have another home game on Sun.. Should be an easy win, but if we play like we did first half vs Haven anything is possible, however if London play like 2nd half we could score 60+

I am expecting something in between, probably win by 3 or 4 scores (36-12 or something)

The three of us will be there but we are all old farts (48,45,80), so going to push that average age up.

fingers crossed we get 300, but really don't see it.

Strewth, 300 old farts will make the place a bit wiffy. Must stay out of the bar :shock:

Even clubs like Hull are in serious financial difficulties, The RFL are sending out that many emails to try and sell Challenge Cup Final tickets, even Saints have opened there ticket allocation to anyone one time they would be like Gold! Wonder how many will be at Warrington tonight for the England friendly.

Is it worth spending money now to attract new followers to Trailfinders! when we are due to move to a modern new ground, that is the time to promote, we then need to attract families & younger people interested, first few matches must be good ticket packages.

It's embarrassing how many seem to be at Warrington for the England International, and on TV, we are a joke compared to RU!

Said it before, will say it again. The average RL fan wants to watch club rugby, the international game does not attract that much interest.
In union their are folk that hardly ever go to watch a club game but will be at twikkers every game to drink pink fizz.
So no real surprise that not many there.

Well there's a shock. It's a chronically mis-managed sport. A good way of saving money would be to throw southern development under a bus. And you wonder why we are worried about being reliant on a benefactor with plunging gates.

I myself have no desire to attend International RL matches. I cannot say that I would go out of my way to watch one on TV either. Club games are what interest me.

With regard to Union Internationals. We have a customer who regularly takes his staff to Twickenham and they all get drunk. Not sure that they take much notice of the game, but as he say, " It is a good day out".

I was a member of Orrell RUFC in there hey days! John Carleton & Peter Williams England, being a member, you qualified for England tickets, I went 6 times, and what an experience it was! Only once have I had that experience at RL, Wembley 1961, Just a youngster with Mum, Dad and my much older brother 1961, it was so Hot, no roof on the stands then, and I sat on the steps more looking at the programme, did manage to see Tom Vollenhovens's try!
