April 3rd, May 1st, May 13th : Mon Mar 07, 2022 10:17 pm  
3 games before we disappear from London until July.....2 of these are must win.
Bradford: This has a chance to be bigger than the opener against Widnes in terms of attracting fans. The club has 3 and a bit weeks to figure out how to get this from a probable gate of 1,500, to an achievable 2,500. But How?
Unblock all social media users immediately. These fans aren't just 'keyboard warriors' but long time Season Ticket Holders who deserved better. They have also dragged many friends and family to games and if it were me, they should each receive 10 free tickets to this game.
Apple launched the first Ever I-pad on April 3rd 2010. Get on the phone and ask if they'd like to celebrate by giving us 5 I-pads in return for Match Day sponsorship.....we could push their Apple TV offer hard to our base and have the prizes drawn at half time.
GET THIS LOT ENGAGED as well as revive Buck'n'Dusty
Free Kids Entry for every adult ticket bought
Push this to the Bulls NOW
Figure out how to hold a post match interview with the coach in the Pub or at least show it on TV screens downstairs
Book a Band for outside the Pub post game
BUY A FULL PAGE IN THIS offering $10 tickets for locals and free kids for all three of these games in return for their contact details. More expensive than a door drop, but 80,000+ houses hit locally has to be good.
Revisit the schools and amateur clubs we've touched through the community team and get them back.
In short, put on a show......let's not just stick posts in the ground and plead with fans to come along on twitter.

Dewsbury & Newcastle. both these games need a repeat of the above with a May Day theme for the first with Morris Dancers an whatever and maybe something to do with the RAF as its the anniversary of the Royal Air Corp............

Point is, we've ALL seen the trajectory of the crowds. Our first 3 at Griffin park were all near enough the same (4,200), Our first 6 at Stoop II were all pretty alike (3,500) with the exception off a HUGE gate for the St Helens opener, the first 6 were all about 1k at the Hive, then they gave up counting at Trailfinders fo a while....but it's fair to say 1k or lower was the first couple of years before back in SL we averaged 2k over the first 6 games.....but our first 3 here have seen a drop of 40% :shock:

Odds are the club will do nothing, citing no money, no staff etc, but this is the reality. Dewsbury and Newcastle are bolted on sub 1k's with Bradford a comfortable 1,500 thanks to away fans. We then vanish for 7 weeks before returning to another sub 1k gate befor a hammering at the hands of Fev that nobody will want to pay to watch....by the time we return we may well already have one foot in League 1.......and that really will be a hard sell!

Not sure who the royal Air corps are. But FYI RAF was April 1
That aside, it would be nice to see something happening heralding the nicer weather and summer rugby with a big gap in home games

Really? The point was the club needed an event and you come up with that? Well pedant, just for you.....
The Royal Flying Corps (my grandfather served in it in world war 1) was the air arm of the British Army during the First World War and it merged with the Naval air branch to become the RAF in 1918.....
The Royal Air Corps was founded on April 13th 1912....April 13th being the date of the Newcastle visit.

Why are you surprised NB is pedantic? It must be the referee in him.

....indeed. And as all referees, this pedant was wrong (but he'll claim he was technically right even though he admitted he didn't know who the original post was about so supplemented the RAF for the RAC :CRAZY: )

And like all bad referees, he just wants to be noticed.

Indeed.......and loathe to ever admit they were wrong.

He attempted to troll me and failed. Does that mean I must feed him?

Back to the subject matter. As of 4.40pm NZ time the London bulls banner on the website brings you to a page for london v York...with tickets unavailable.
Amateurs do better.

I have plenty of time on my hands at the moment. I am by no means a quality controller, but this "Brave new Dawn" has piqued my interest.
Lots of bravado and bluster but very little delivered as yet.
In the case of ticketing, all home games should be listed and available.....the website is managed by parrot and sparrow.....ticketing partner is ticketco....both have dropped the ball as has the person responsible at the club.
Pathetic.....especially when compared to some of our other Championship sides.
