I agree anything is worth a try (even if its been done before), we just need the bums on seats. Any idea what the crowd for the Dragons game was? Ta

I was a very irregular attender for years before catching the bug at a game I only attended due to a half price offer. This is my tenth year as a season ticket holder. Initiatives like this won't turn up thousands of fans overnight but people with an interest in RL must be high up our potential fans list. Good on the club, fingers crossed.

Free ticket via my son joining the mighty Whitton Warriors following some coaching sessions at school by Quins RL community coaches got me totally hooked. Extended family have followed suit and friends I've talked into coming to games whilst not yet regulars are returning. Also get the ex pat Leeds, Saints, Hull KR and Wire fans from work along. These initiatives work alas not as quickly as we would like or this great sport deserves.

Yes its a very positive step.
They tried this for the our first home game of the season but it turned into a
Hainault Bulldogs versus Medway Dragons only fixture as not enough players
had signed up for the other junior clubs.

This should not be a problem now though.

The general manager is no doubt on the case.

Maybe just as well in view of our second half performance. That wouldn't have 'em coming back for more.
