The whole Club in my opinion as increased ten fold, playing a brand of rugby which is great to watch. I thought the disallowed try for Williams last night would of been the try of the game if it stood, that alone is worth the entrance fee.

The new Stadium is fine in my opinion, apart from the obvious parking issues. I think if you get a good run in the CC or the PO's, you will get some well deserved backing from more locals.

I think Gareth Owen is shaping up to be a great player.

Great post Walshie of co to sensible to be taken seriously if you get my drift.



I can answer your query re the club and season tickets, I didn't renew this season and never received any info/phone call or letter from the club, so although I have been to all the games minus Hull FC the club have no idea whether I'm there or not. I guess that applys to all who for whatever reason didn't renew. So they maybe lost fans and don't want to know or care why.

I would prefer a Sunday 3pm KO always ,
however friday's game attracted 40 table's of 10 paying roughly £75 per head + the corporate boxes .

say if a Sunday fixture would only bring in half that , you'd need to see 1500 -2000 extra paying spectators at £20 per head to recoup.
can you guarantee that additional 2000 ? the club say no from their mixture of Friday/Sunday games last season at the willows.
Not having a Good Friday game at home is a big loss , I think against a Widnes or a Wire opposition that would have given us our best crowd yet ,

Let's see what Easter Monday brings by way of crowd, 2011 gate against Hull KR was 4,408.

As for the Car Park, I agreed with Iain's Comment the sooner a Hostelry is errected on site or a fans bar is sorted the better , otherwise you're best parking offsite and walking 15-20 minutes, until the Highway upgrades for the rail link - container port are in place it isn't going to miraculously improve.

Listening in to a conversation between a couple of the senior stewards on Friday evening, one was mentioning that a company that were due to move into the stadium have now decided not to, thus leaving space available - he said the space was now going to me used as a fans bar. No idea if what he was saying is true or not.

You play a very attractive style of Rugby and are most certainly worth watching. Your 3/4 are excellent with great pace and handling skills. Smith and Holdsworth are two very good halves.
If Vievers can bring in some bigger forwards who can get you some real go forward then things will be on the up for you guys.
Not too sure about the parking, used it for the friendly and won't go there again. Went to Eccles ARLFC this time, £3 and good people.
Might try the airfield next time but your car park is a no no from now on. It won't stop me coming to watch the game though!
Someone needs a word with Neil Barker and ask him to put something in his write up about alternatives to the ground car park.

Some need to tell Barker to write factual articles about Salford also can't remember the last feel good / positive articles Barker wrote about Salford. It appears Wigan get all the good news stories while Salford get all the doom and gloom.
