Old news, pretty sure it's been sorted when our new board took over last month, also sure the squad were on a £1000 a man bonus if they won yesterday and the prize for winning it was £16000 so dont think our problems are that severe any more.

Need to get crowds back up above the 2,000 level for a start - and so do we.

Well done to Leigh, NRC Winners 2013 and well deserved. Delighted for their former Fax contingent............and you never know, maybe the odd future Fax player!

Re: Congratulations to the Lobby Gobblers : Mon Jul 22, 2013 11:56 am  

Can we claim the crowd for a home game to help with the attendance?

I understand Leigh's ticket sales were 2100, Crusaders 600, Seagulls 250 and Skolars 100.
All figure approximate.
The others ,neutrals, like the Lobby boys had plenty to cheer about.
Well done Leigh, build on Saturdays crowd.
Looking forward to our visit.
Please order more pies this year.
