    Rallying call!

    in Workington Town

    Posted · Edited by WTRLFC WEBSITE

    On behalf of the club we'd like to thank everyone who attended on Sunday. 

    The crowd was 899 and that consisted of 170 children of which many were supporting the Broughton Red Rose takeover day.

    🟢🔴 It was great to see those kids on the pitch and it brings such a good vibe to the matchday. 

    It's healthy that there's plenty of discussion on this forum, when the comments stop, and the phones don't ring then we have a huge problem. 

    From the club's perspective tthe most frustrating thing can be comments like 'I won't be back' and 'absolute rubbish' on the wider platforms when we are clearly making progress on & off the pitch.

    It wasn't a great performance, but the games lost this season against opposition in our league / 1895 cup have been by 2,4 and then 8 points on Sunday.

    We were punished for mistakes as discussed by the coaching department in interview. On the loss itself, we weren't played of the park like the we did to Swinton in spells and Keighley away for even longer.

    When we get it right we are an exciting watch, the challenge is consistency and we hope we can receive that in return from the fanbase. 

    It's sport, there are 2 teams and usually in RL there are winners and losers, not many draws and we'd just hope that a fairer, wider view of what we are doing is the message delivered from all our die hard and consistent Supporters, as you are our best advert, you are on the streets and in the pubs, talking to floating fans who still have an interest, we know the interest is there locally when bigger games are here, hence 3000 v Leigh of which 600 were Leigh fans, 2400 v Whitehaven.

    These are not the games that hurt us, it's the league programme where consistent crowds are needed which help us plan as we strive to improve the club, these crowds are needed to allow us to keep improving the overall quality of the squad, which would help us reduce the inconsistency of performance. 

    The team is not far away, 3rd in the league, been top at 1 point, and a winning run of 6 in a row shows that the team has the ability. 

    We ask you to be our voices of positivity in defeat, however difficult that can be and especially in a season of real progress, a club on a upward trend that takes time to fully build and to not forget that we were rarely above 6th last season and to keep encouraging others to come and be part of the journey accepting the ups and downs of a sporting clubs results. 

    The current league programme hasn't been helped by Cornwall pulling out so here's a quick heads up of how things are shaping and how we have put together the next month or so. 

    We play Swinton away next on the 15th June, if you can't make that trip the Ladies are at home v Illingworth Ladies that day, 2pm ko and then it's 2 consecutive exciting home double headers, these are great days, showcasing how far the club has come in just over 2 years. 

    22nd June. 

    11am - Workington Town Ladies v Fryston Warriors ladies

    1-2 Takeover day. 

    3pm - Town v Newcastle Thunder 

    5pm - Daley Rogers in the marquee! 

    After that 13th July - Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team charity fundraising day and another double header, get spreading the word and banging the drum! 

    11am - Ladies v Wakefield Trinity 

    1-2 Takeover day. 

    3pm - Town v Midlands Hurricanes 

    445pm - The Johnny Morton Show 

    530 - Charity shirt auction! 

    Thank you and UTT

    The thing is the floaters pay to watch town win. If they came today they won't have been very impressed. I heard someone on the way out say they'll be lucky if there's 500 next home match. Sad times.

    Not sure what people expect or realistically want. 

    Won 6 in a row.  = 594 crowd - including 200 points for and 60 against. 

    Lose 1 out of 7 - lucky to see 500 here next match?  

    Absolutely baffling to me and the hard working board , a true community club, we have done many things that a community sports club should do 

    It's disappointing and disheartening but as ever we will keep working hard.

    Hey Townies, this was a message we put on social media for those of you who don't use it. 

    👇

    ⏩Presales are low which usually indicates a lower crowd at the weekend.

    If we’re serious about challenging for promotion we need everyone to come out to support Jonty Gorley and his winning squad. 

    It's over to you guys! We'd really appreciate you bringing a mate, bring a family member or 2 along. 

    Early bird tickets are available until 6pm Saturday

    Is Jonty back? He's been on holiday too 🙈

    When we spoke initially with Jonty he told us because he had no plans to coach in 2025 at all that he had booked a family holiday which is happening now.

    He has travelled late to join his family so could be with us Sunday V Goole. 

    He has fantastic assistants in Deano & Carl and they have prepared us well.

    We’re doing good things on the pitch; help us kick on off the pitch.

    As we approach the half way stage of the season, on the pitch couldn't have gone much better! 

    We sit 2nd in the division, have been top and we’re on course for a top 4 finish and a place in the Super 8's which will give us an opportunity to be promoted into the Championship. 


    Jonty and his team have won 6 games in a row, scoring points, exciting tries and defending well with a determination to be successful and defend our line.

    The business community has supported us, the advertising opportunities are being snapped up and everything we're doing is to prepare us for Championship rugby in the not too distant future. 


    We have had 2 great crowds against Leigh Leopards and Whitehaven, both great occasions and worthy of keeping fans engaged. To kick on we need as many people to join us on this fantastic journey!

    After listening to feedback we have provided:

    ·         FREE matchday entertainment in the Northern Competitions fanzone.

    ·         FREE admission for children 16 and under.

    ·         5000 season tickets for kids delivered to schools with the fixtures on.

    ·         Takeover days and accessibility for local community clubs to play in the stadium and a thriving Community Trust that gives back to it's area

    ·         Early bird pricing & savings for Adults and Concessions to save and commit to the game and help us plan to improve your matchday experience

    ·         Student rates to help students with costs 

    ·         Age 17-18 rates to help with affordability.

    We’ve listened to the fans and are hopefully delivering:

    ·         A WINNING, DETERMINED TEAM

    ·         Affordable admission

    ·         Entertaining players and gameday

    ·         After match entertainment

    So this is a rallying call. We need more support to come over that bridge if we are to realise our target of being a sustainable Championship club.

    Please bring a friend or two or family members and help us all realise our club ambitions. 

    Those early bird tickets savings are on sale for Dewsbury Rams on Sunday at www.townrlfc.com and the club shop is open 1030-430pm Friday too. 

    Cu there!

    Any Idea when these kits will be available 🤔

    These are pre order items that will arrive before the game on 13th July, they are currently in production with our kit providers Ellgren. 

    We hope around 7-10 days before the game.

    We'll be announcing a couple of bits of cracking club news in the Northern Competitions marquee after the game. 

    So we've got some great Oasis Britpop music with Lee M Gallagher lined up and 'some might say', in fact we think all will say that some great news has come your way by Sunday evening!!

    I've just managed to get an early bird ticket. What a faff

    What was the issue exactly? 

    I've used the system and don't have any issues, but if there's a way of improving it, then we'll speak to the platform provider.

    Thank you for the kind words, everything we do is as a team, from the boards vision to the functionality of a matchday. 

    We still have many things to improve on, we are aiming to do everything with sustainability and consistency and we are going well, but we must keep the mindset of every day, wake up and try and make the club better. 

    We hope our progress under Jonty is reflected in 2 strong home crowds v Goole and Dewsbury, early bird savings are available now at www.townrlfc.com TICKETS section and we continue to let children come in for free as we aim to solidify our top 4 position and grow a fanbase to support those aspirations. 

    We need the wider fanbase who attended v Leigh and Whitehaven to consider getting behind everything this club is doing and back our vision to make this club one you can all be proud of, unfortunately I've spoke to a few saying they're not coming as they're watching an already won Premier League fixture and celebrations, that's disappointing for us, we've a great product, on people's doorstep and a locally based team in the top 2 and as a club we're on the up on and off the pitch. The future is a very bright blue and white. 

    We thank those who are coming, you are our best advertising, please keep banging the drum - bring a mate or 6 and let's keep it rolling. 

    Oasis / Britpop tribute act in the Northern Competitions marquee after the game! 

    You gotta roll with it.

    Brad left us and signed for Widnes, was in and out of the team and was loaned to us and Haven. 

    He then left Widnes and signed for Mackay Cutters in Australia. Had a great year there and scored plenty of tries. 

    He returned to the UK and signed for Keighley for 2025.
