Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!
Aside from the fact that fans want top level sport and many wont come unless they get it.....large visiting support from the big clubs versus none from almost everyone? Hugely increased publicity? I think my first point is good enough to be honest. There is little we die hards can do to convince people who don't want to make it here unless they see the stars of the game visiting. We're the ones who go every week. It's the nature of people, of sports fans, to be fickle.
The likes of Salford and Crusaders should be able to maintain better crowds than us with the supreme advantages they get. Crusaders have an excuse, they're new, we all knew they were not ready for super league, that they wouldn't take off as idealists were suggesting, but Salford? Quins?
I assume you think my ideas to be bull poo , fair enough , everybody is entitled to their opinion , even you

Yes I did as I thought with the money it makes you might be able to buy some more of those hankys for the final ...well your going to need plenty of them.
Have you not considered something similar , pm Saley , I'm sure he'd help , who is the most Internet ' savvy ' Fax fan on here ?
I'm sorry to disagree with you, but these days Halifax doesn’t have RL in its blood, hence why we achieved less than a 2000 attendance at our last home game.
The likes of myself and my family will continue to support Halifax for evermore (as I dare say, you and many of the other die-hards on this forum will). However, preaching to a hardcore of less than 1000 leads to stagnation not progression. The average resident of Halifax neither wants to part with their cash, to watch dead-end rugby or non-league football.
As you said about the joke of a 2,576 crowd last night, the same applies to 2,300?? at Toulouse tonight. However, if they are in a position to give away free tickets then, why not? As the old saying goes, 'if you can't beat them then join them'. The fact is that these development clubs, are at least looking for ways that they can get people down to the ground to be involved. Halifax on the other hand are resting on their laurels, the attitude of Fax, is that they deserve to be there, due to their proximity to the M62 and cup success in the 80s. That attitude won't wash with RFL!
If a team in West Yorkshire averages the same sort of crowd to a club in Wales, then from the point of view of the RFL, it is a no brainer as to which one would be more beneficial to the game.
What you on about? You cannot compare the gates for the Championship to SL, they say that away fans average around 1000 in SL so thats miles bigger than in our league where it is probably around 100. Its like saying that a team in the Championship in football should be compared to gates for a team in the Premiership, its not a fair comparison at all.
Oh and the point about freebies is they can count them even if they don't attend, I say for the umpteemph time lets get back to counting bums on seats please.

EH ??? NOT WINNING A NORTHERN RAIL CUP FINAL - NO HANKY, I WILL JUST KILL MYSELF. LOSING TO LOWLY FAX (again) well it's 1-1 this season, BUT STILL, DEATH IS DEFINITELY AN OPTION.

Now now don`t get upset after all it`s "not the winning it`s the taking part that counts."
:MOTOR: another massive crowd at crusaders today v hull kr 2,280
Crikey, I saw the Live score thing they do on Sky News and over the commentators shoulder was the KR fans' stand, must have been at least 800 in there if not more.
