Quote ="fevfan76"In regards to the SL fan it was just an example could include ex fev fans, just general local rugby fans. In my view any Rugby fan especially with kids not emotionally attached to any of our rivals is a potential fan.
In the past there as been no kids camps or at first the camps weren't as popular. My kids went to the first ever one which was free and there were about 20 kids at most. They are now massive and are growing each term / year, and at easter I saw it first hand parents asking for Shirts etc but they had sold out long ago.
The rugby / dance / Olympic camps are a fantastic initiative by the club and I applaud them, but they could take more advantage of having that number of kids and parents at the club twice per year.
Obviously the market stall would help with shirt sales - I have only ever seen a stall in ponte once a few years ago trying to sell left over shirts not as an attempt to get in people faces and get people interested.
Again though i know cash is tight and its a big problem. The RFL want
increase in attendance but expect clubs to wave a magic wand'"
Rovers have had a couple of stalls on Ponte market in last few months, plus at local Galas and the liquorice fair, either selling rovers gear or tombolas to raise much needed funds, if they ordered too many shirts especially the smaller sizes, the club as generally in the past been left with merchandise that they cannot sell, or have to sell off at discounted prices,which then becomes false economy. The club are working very hard to raise the profile of Featherstone Rovers from chairman Mark Campbell down to all the wonderful volunteers, but it appears that some people are hard to please.
