Quote ="GeoffRoebuck"I thought it was a five drives & a kick rugby league game not a air display or a beer festival.
Where do spectators go for shelter if it rains during in a game at the Lamport Stadium?'"
We're a new club. It's about getting people who've never heard of rugby league into the stadium and making sure they have a good time. You don't do that by banging on about knock ons and the 40/20. You do that by getting the lads on local sports tv, having a stadium that's easy to get to, having a beer garden, and creating a fun atmosphere. Once people have experienced it, they usually come back for more and start learning the rules and following the game.
I've attended every home game at Lamport for two seasons, except one. There's only one where it rained heavily all day just before the game, but it stopped before kick off. Our summer weather isn't as changeable as the weather in England. If we are expecting rain, we bring ponchos. There is also a concourse under the stands where you could shelter if you were the timid sort.
Really, you folk have to stop worrying about our ground, our weather, the national anthems, the lines on the pitch, the once-a-year air show, the beer garden, the attendance. We're sorted.
