Only on a personal note here ,but when games are played away on a weeknight I and the regular 6 of my family that normally attend have zero chance of getting over the Pennines and back after the game without it being some ungodly hr for our grandkids. Surely we are shooting ourselves in the foot by denying lots of parents and in our case grandparents from attending these games .We are doing our bit to steer our grandchildren away from going down the football route as 2 out of 3 play football and RL on a regular basis and the other too young for either . They love the big hits and the length of field tries and of course big dave and kelepi .IMHO we as a sport are being very short sighted by not allowing the lifeblood of this game a chance to watch ,and in the grandkids case grow to love the sport on a more regular basis ,something which we have done for around 50years .However we look at things going forwards as a sport ,it’s the kids of today that will hopefully be the supporters of the future ,if we can make it more accessible than it is at present .
