Oh dear. Shrews you are right at the top of the running for Worst Joke of the Season

Maybe a bit naff but, as the board appreciate the history of the club, how about a minutes applause 1876 minutes into the game ie between the 31st and 42nd mimutes

Just to bring a little balance I checked AI for figures for last seasons Championship, the level below Northampton, Leicester, Saracens, Bath etc. In the 23-24 season the average crowd across the season was 1594 with a highest of 5047 (Coventry vs Nottingham 26/12/23) . So it's not that bleak. Price wise I checked Bedford Blues prices; Adult ground entry £20 and Stands £24. So it's pretty much apples for apples. However Oldham has a huge part in the history, and, hopefully, future of RL and the club must be at a loss each week and the fear is that the board lose heart. All the ideas so far have merit, lots of it. Tim will you volunteer to collate the ideas and take them to Bill and Mike at the London match? One last thing , and I know I've said this before, when I go to watch Northampton RU I see people taking selfies all the time. Now I'll hazard a guess that these are off on social media to friends not at the game. We can all create a bit of FOMO in friends and family, leading up to the game with social media posts; Monday "great game yesterday I'm hoarse from cheering the boys on" , Tuesday " watched the Yeds highlights on Roughyeds TV you tube channel. Jumah is awesome" Wednesday "only four more sleeps before the game.....you get the idea. Game day selfies of 1895 bar etc etc. Create FOMO! .

I was talking to George on Sunday and said that he may as well have just given them the mic and gone for a brew. Can you imagine Chapelhow family parties?

Hope you do. Things like that should stay with the family. It seems to me that Bill and Mike are keen on the heritage of the club.

I hope you both make it sometime this season. I really miss you both. Yes it does feel different, lots of new faces. There's a part of me that still misses Whitebank and Bower Fold when we used to get the crowd changes rather than the team changes But it's good and exciting too. Clifford I've just re read Roughyeds Kitbag with its pictures of Herman. Actually quite interesting to see how low some of the crowds were pre war too Chin up both and, hopefully, see you soon.

Can anyone tell me where the winning number for the Golden Gamble is published please?

Not yet!

Probably the best we could have got

I heard that too. We got a mention in Hull KR's game on Thursday too saying what a story we are

Just about to leave for the game and bringing future son in law with me. He's a total Rugby League virgin. Keeping fingers crossed for a good game and a great atmosphere for him

Rervers normally play Friday nights. Makes for a good atmosphere and they now do a light show where you put an app on your phone and hold it up and you become part of the light show

Didn't we get one try before half time? Then fought back up the slope and hit the upright with a very late drop goal effort. Brian Noble was standing with us on the terraces. I think the fightback started after we sang If you're all going to Hemel

He's not a Yorkie then?

Hoping the Post Office delivers my League Express earlier than the Friday they delivered it last week!
