I assume as a ST holder I could still choose the black members shirt. They look better then the red one.

Agreed. Let us know how you get on if you ask them. If not, i will ask at the Open Day.

Whatever day is chosen would suit some and not others - hard to believe I know. Granted a weekend might have been preferred by a few more but given, players contractual arrangements, Christmas shopping (last minute !), family responsibilities, kids school and club sport, Ealing at home, pre Christmas parties, you get the picture. Lets see how many turn up on Monday ..... and then we can only guess how many of them could have made a weekend and how many more might have come. 8 of us coming down from St Albans and that doesnt include Perry !

If you pick a working day the week before Christmas you will only get those who are already off work as virtually everyone else will have already used up annual leave

London broncos event is not for children then, I didn't see that on the Web site

Grasping at straws for a reason I think.

As for our event, sat ealing have a home game.

No we know you cant please everybody but Monday afternoon in comparison to a weekend. Thats a no contest.

There is the point that a major part of the day is watching training sessions. Given that the players will lose their weekends from Feb to September through playing commitments I reckon it might be a bit harsh to call them in at a weekend in December for this

Such are the terrible working conditions of a professional sportsman. Just about better than stacking shelves in Tescos

The RFL event is specifically for children.

Whereas social services should probably be notified in the case of any kids dragged along to the "Open Day"

Can you please expand on what exactly you mean with social services and the broncos open day? What are you suggesting?
The free rfl event is a family day so actually aimed at all ages.
