Looking at that list though, surely we can make a push for top two with a few good signings? Leigh probably aren't going to be as strong, I think it'll be between us, Fev and Fax.

Definitely.

Sunday afternoons for me needs to be the way forward and at Bramall Lane. I know it's a one-off and it was the play offs but look at the Widnes attendance. Do one or two perhaps for the corporates though..

I've said before Tim and the club did really well promoting the Leigh and Widnes games and we nearly broke the 2,000 figure with both but we lost heavily in both as well. We now need to do the same with them games but also with games that we have a greater chance of winning!

For probably only the second or third time on here, I agree with Griff

. These next two years we need to throw everything we can at getting more bums on seats and getting greater awareness of the club in the city and if it doesn't work it doesn't work. The club will have gave it a shot and will never be left wondering.

Stick with me, pal, and you won't go far wrong.

The reason it's easier to sell corporate on Fridays is that they leave work at 5, arrive at the ground at 6, have a meal, watch the game, it's all over by 10.

If they come Sunday afternoon, it takes all day up.

Nothing to do with the fact they can have a pint or ten and not worry about work the next day then?

If it were, Saturdays would be just as good.

Football.

You mean soccer ?



Not in summer.

Don't forget, we've tried

Monday nights
Tuesday nights
Wednesday nights
Thursday nights
Friday nights
Saturday mornings
Saturday afternoon
Saturday nights
Sunday mornings
Sunday afternoons
Sunday nights

over the years (and that's not counting midweek Bank Holiday afternoons and lunchtimes) so we have a wealth of information to consider.

No, I mean football. Association football which is what the sport is called, soccer is an alternative name used in the USA and Australia primarily to distinguish between American Football and Aussie Rules respectively.

The football season overlaps with the rugby season for March (think we might have even played a couple of NRC games in February over the last couple of seasons), April, May, August and September.

Throw everything at it yes Griff, but not at risk of the future of the club.

I agree, for me the CC is a worse place without Barrow and Toulouse. Both enjoyable away trips.

Toulouse yes, can't agree with Barrow being enjoyable. Takes a day and a half to get there (or at least it feels like that) and I've only ever seen us win once. And it's a dump, and I'm scared of seagulls crapping on me, and I got started on by a young spectacled chap with saliva running down his chin this season. Not one I'll be missing.

Will miss the delights of a Saturday night in Barrow

Soccer is of English Public Schools derivation, primarily to distinguish it from Rugger, which was the dominant code at the time.

You reckon ?

If no one wants to watch, why are we running a huge operation involving almost 100 paid employees ?





Makes no sense.

The official name of the sport is association football - fact.

Bit like

Rugby league football
Rugby union football
Gaelic football
American football
Canadian football and
Australian Rules football then.

As long as you don't forget the "association" bit, there'll be no problem.

Right I'll expect you to refer to it as association football from now on then rather than soccer.

Although I'll accept football as a shortened version.

<chuckle>

I personally have not big issue with Friday nights.

Neither have I.

As long as it's not part of a plan to get promotion to $uperleague.

I personally don't care which day it is,any of the seven will do for me,Id actually prefer monday night games



Nowt ever happens on a monday.

I don't know, I've just won a fiver at the pub quiz.

Off the back of your team mates, no doubt .......

Barrow is NOT a dump................... its no worse than many other industrial areas, the folks are far more ameanable than MANY other areas that RL or any other sport is played in and it only takes 2 and half hours to get to from Sheffield.[Unless you go the country route. It can take an hour to cross Sheffield or even get to Leeds, and who in their right mind wants to go to Headingley.

It is easier to get to than Featherstone, which doesn't even have trains running on a Sunday and they play Northern Rail Cup games on Sundays



If you go to a town next to the sea, you should expect sea-gulls, not like towns which are full of messy pigeons.

I think ESO's post was very tongue-in-cheek, I for one will miss Barrow, had an enjoyable weekend up there in August with the away tarts. Found the locals to be a friendly bunch-(except the Harry Potter look-a-likes). Though to be fair, the girls in Headingley are lot less scarier!!
