If Carlsberg did jokes

I think ESO is close.

I'm going to say 1650 based on the following irrelevant facts

New ground for Featherstone fans (unless they also support someone like dirty Leeds) and they are doing well so perhaps a healthy away following. However, it's Easter so many people may be away on holiday.
Away fans do swell the crowd but it's home support that needs to be increased.

I think that the club has tried to put a good package together and I have heard a mention on Radio Sheffield plus there is a voucher in the Star tonight in colour too!

I have no idea what the reaction will be from the Sheffield public for those who aren't already Eagles followers but to be brutally honest if there are any Eagles fans who consider themselves supporters but who can't be d to turn up on Sunday then I'd say don't bother coming again.

I think we have found ourselves a new Marketing Manager!

My Dad has decided against flying home from the other side of the Atlantic for the game, I'll tell him he's not welcome!!

Feeble excuse



Anyway what's he doing flying across the atlantic - how big does that make his carbon footprint, has he never heard of video conferencing? (not to mention the car he drives).

Seriously it's the fans with apathy that need to get off their a*ses

My Dad is in Spain,Looks like me and Eso flying the family flag!!!!

He's actually in America holidaying for a change, and don't get me started on those telephone conferences, they're a right bore when you're in the car listenng to them for an hour.

A step up from Scarborough i suppose.

(Not that theres anything worng with Scarbro, i think its

)

Genuinely funny.

I'm going to try and get to this one, my first Sheffield game for a good while.

Meat and Potato?

Chicken balti.

The insides of most "match pies" are like wallpaper paste flavoured with gravy granules.

The description that they are "meat pies" should be used with care

Excellent attendance today,Somebody must have done somthing right,2,800 excellent effort keep it going.

Marvelous attendance, and a very strong following from Featherstone. More there today than at the majority of Quins RL games (ignore our fiddled attendances).

Donut by name, Donut by nature.

2871 was the exact figure.

Im pleased to be wrong. But there were certainly a number a larger than average following from Featherstone taking advantage of our offers. The key thing now is to follow up on the crowd to ensure that these people are welcomed into the fold for the future. I thought the new ground was a great improvement, it should cook next week with two stands open.

Agreed. We need to keep the people who came today.

Offers? The reduced ticket price wasn't available for away fans if this is the offer that you meant.

Did the club ask who you supported ?

Sheffield chose not to let the Featherstone public know about the deal there's a thread about it on the rugbyleague.org forum

How thick are Featherstone fans, it's an offer for THREE games, not one individual game. The offer gets you THREE games for £19, which is MORE than the normal entrance fee of £14 for ONE game.

The Eagles probably chose not to let you know as I can't imagine many people wanting to sign up to pay £5 MORE for ONE match, as presumably Featherstone fans won't be particularly interested in attending Sheffield's next two home games. Although thinking about it maybe we should have offered it to them, sounds like we'd have made a fortune...

Tubbs did mention offering a deal to Featherstone to sell tickets. Not sure whether the club or the fans would have benefited - possibly both to some extent - but it appears the offer wasn't accepted.
