Several players looked as though they were even less interested in playing for the club today than they had done for most of this season (and that is saying something). Maybe that is why we have not signed a large proportion of them again for next season?

In that case getting some cans and bottles across wouldn’t be a bad option.

I think this has been discussed before but why can’t the club sell a better choice of beers and lagers in the South stand? Carlsberg on Sunday was rank.

A good article IMO... https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/jul/24/dewsbury-rams-batley-bulldogs-local-derby#comments

I I think Ned’s comments are right. half or more of the team are just going through the motions.

When we only get around 800 people attending then those stewarding costs seem pretty extreme. Especially when the stewards are only interested in people’s big toes infringing on the yellow lines and little else.

Not sure what the players are paid but would the £1200 saved on stewarding per match pay for a couple of Anthony Thackerays?

That’s one of the best obstructions I’ve ever seen! Makes the win all the sweeter!

The game was a good entertainment. Much better than last years game. Hopefully we can kick on now and stay clear of the relegation scrap!

Had a superb game (dropped kick off aside).

It does seem difficult for the club to attract new supporters to watch the Rams. However imagine if we had moved to any other part of Dewsbury other than the Shaw Cross area when we left the old ground. I’d imagine we wouldn’t have a club to support by now, if we had moved anywhere else in the Dewsbury district. One positive about the club at the moment is the off field developments such as the 4g pitches. Whilst It is difficult for us improve on our crowd numbers (we have had a hardcore of around 700/800 for as long as I have watched). Could the club’s off field income streams be expanded to further support the rugby side? Could some of the land remaining be used to build something to generate further income to invest into the rugby playing side? Do the bars and function rooms still get hired out for events? What else could the stadium be used for during the week? There is still plenty of land left that could be utilised and still have a large car park.

I could see Toronto opening their cheque book again before the middle 8’s commence. They have recently signed another NRL forward who was at the game today. I hope they get promoted to give the game the shake up it needs.

Anybody at liberty to divulge why Moore has left?

We are both out of cup. So could be rearranged for chall cup weekend

I think it would be a good idea if all squad builder members who contribute monthly to the fund also get a link to the game highlights too.
