I have been niggling at Ted to go down the route of 'added value' rather than discounting.

Thoroughly enjoyed the performance by Diversity and was chuffed to bits by the turn-out.

You put more in - you get more out - simples!

susan boyle for hull kr game

Personally I thought the dance group were nothing special - if they won a talent contest then the rest of the entries must have been poor

Then again I have no interest in dance groups and I was obviously in the minority and lots of people enjoyed them.

As an event it was a great event put on by the club that brought in a decent crowd for what would normally have been a poorly attended game and they should be congratulated for that.

I've been saying the same to him. You cannot expect people just to come and watch us you have to make the day an event that will appeal to others than just the die hard rugby fan. Market the club, the game and the day's entertainment, not just a game.

Perhaps with the success of today he may will agree.

Like others on here , I'm not too fussed about Diversity, but then it wasn't aimed at me.
I like many on here have turned up for donkeys years come hail or shine, it's not me they're after it's the one's who've never been before and the ones who've been but lapsed.

Great move by the club, I reckon it put 4K - 4.5K on the gate. Hopefully many will be encouraged to return

You miserable old bear!

Isn't she out of contract at Cas at the end of the season?

Nobody on here can should really comment on how good they are IMO. We are not experts in dancing and people who are say they are great. It was a different setting to what they are used to with fans totally surrounding them, unlike a stage where the audience are just in front of you.
Surely the main thing is that is raised the attendance and they got a better reception than Chico, Ray Quin, Matt Willis etc

She was until she signed a new contract with them, but soon after they realised that she would take them over their overseas players and now are trying to find a loop hole in the contract, unless I have got this case mixed up with another

well it put 3500 on our gate so i hope folk come back

Firstly - Thought Diversity were very good and I thoroughly enjoyed their performance. I'm not usually one for all that type of stuff, I'd prefer to watch the rugby (the academy before the game if I could) and possibly young kids at half time. I do appreciate though that times have changed and people want more than just the rugby.

Secondly - If this type of thing could be used to help get the punters in for future games, then you have to take into account the price for such events. Would today have been the huge success it was if the price of tickets was £18 and how many times a season can you give a cheap game away without upsetting season ticket holders?

It was a big success and a big well done to the club though and does show the potential support is out there and should come as a huge boost to know that if we can deliver the new stadium then there's definitely the potential to fill it on a regular basis.

Yes well done to the club, re Season ticket holders , they should be pleased that the club have been able to bring in another 3000 supporters today who have seen the team win and will hopefully come back again/ buy a shirt a programme etc. Its worth doing for the 3 lesser supported teams of Catalan, Celtic & Harlequins It might be different if we had 5000 season ticket holders but sadly we do not and we have to increase revenue to be able to increase salary cap etc.

We all have to hand it to the club for this one. We regular fans have to accept that the game we all love does not have appeal to all. If three times a year we have to use a different tactic to get the wives girlfriends and sisters of the regular fans down to BV then so be it.

We were in front of the main stand and quite clearly Diversity brought in lots of fresh new faces (a little like ladies day against Quins that also worked well I thought). Hopefully some of the newbies might just have liked the experience and come back (it does help that they see a win).

The problem we now have is Belle Vue itself. Its antiquated facilities and very poor viewing positions make it very difficult to see either the game or the half time entertainment. I know some (new found visitors) who have been put off after the George Sampson visit. Roll on new ground!

to be quite honest, he was crap !

edited for accuracy

Ha ..indeed ! They only get the home crowds cos everyone can get tickets for £5 in Huddersfield and they had really cheap season tickets this season. Bulls give loads of free tickets out too.

I agree.

I'm a season ticket holder and only have the best interests of the club in mind. As a season ticket holder it doesn't bother me, it pleases me to see big crowds.

The only problem is though season ticket holders may think twice about purchasing one if they know there will be three 'cheap' games through the season. That will equate to the saving you make by purchasing a season ticket.

That could be a dangerous road to go down.

super league is now a "show" to get the family in..well done today to the wildcat team. personally think that there were too many dancing kids there..wonder what the parents pay to get in?





it would be intersting to know how much money was generated. i for one am a season ticket holder as is my son and looks like my daughter will be next year.

i think that the parents get in for free and if so then we must have had around a thousand freeloaders

The organisation was spot on today, having Diversity on at half time made it easier for spectators to see them them and enjoy their performance. In the past we have made the mistake of having the entertainers on the field the same time as the teams are warming up . Thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment today..well done Wakey!

yes but with the number of kids dancing around, did their parents get free tickets? if so crowd is artifially inflated and we the season ticket holders again lose out

no they didnt get free tickets..
they got tickets for £10 each....
well done to sarah and jodie for the organisation
of all the dancers today!!!!

If a rugby team was as well drilled and skilful as they were, they'd beat the Aussiie test team!
They were great. Never seen a crowd at any match watch the entertainment so intently.

Well done Trin marketing team

Very true - apart from when Girls Aloud played at Elland Rd for the Tri-Nations match a few years ago. I've got a great photo of Lockyer standing just watching them move - big perv!

i CAN TELL YOU THAT ALL PARENTS OF PERFORMERS PAID TO GET INTO THE GAME, OTHERWISE THERE WOULD BE NO POINT. DO YOU THINK WE DO ALL THAT HARD WORK FOR NOTHING? YOU PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK

It was a fair question....no need to over-react!
