  1. Oldham are chucking a bucket of cash at it aka "The Toronto Model" - we all know how that ended Word from the sheds is that they're going full time next year Good if you have bottomless pockets.
  2. There are some teams in League one chucking buckets of cash at players. Some are doing better than us - and some decidedly worse. Hornets have always done the best we can with whatever we've got and I don't see that any different now.
  3. Serious question: what is it about the match-day experience you don't like? Hornets holds up well against every other club in League 1 and as good as some in the Championship. No club in this division has money to blow on pre-match/half-time 'entertainment', so I'm not sure what you expect from match-day. I don't know what you think is 'rotting' - but the club's in as good shape as it's been for a while. What would you suggest to improve things?
  4. Historically: Apisai Toga. World class. Modern Era: Paul Crook. Captained Rochdale Hornets to two trophies and equalled the club's points record.
  5. We were at the game last Friday and seriously contemplated standing on the hill and watching for nowt. Our observations were that there's absolutely nothing around the ground, so don't get there early. And the floodlights are embarrassingly poor.
  6. This. Legroom is worse than Old Trafford - and that's worse than Ryanair.
  7. I saw us thrash Dewsbury last weekend. They were awful. Haven for the win.
  8. Worky by 30 Hornets by 18 Crusaders by 8 Whitehaven by 12
  9. Abingdon is also in the running for the lowest capacity stand in world Rugby League.
  10. I went to the inaugural game, and been to a couple since. It's absolutely fantastic - a great RL day out, and a genuinely well-conceived/designed stadium built with supporter comfort/viewing in mind. The new Sydney Football Stadium is pretty close too - great sightlines from everywhere.
  11. Best for sightlines/facilities is CommBank Stadium. Best for authentic RL heritage is Henson Park, closely followed by Lidcombe Oval, with Bramley a close third. Best for Atmosphere was Central Park when it was rammed. Best for a day trip is Workington or Whitehaven: drive through the lakes, bit of lunch lovely. Best for a few days away = Edinburgh Worst for sightlines/facilities = Whitebank, Sheffield, Wentworth Park (just move that bl00dy greyhound scoreboard) and, since the development, Shark Park Cronulla: all the General Admission views are compromised. Worst for authentic RL heritage is either Salford Community Stadium or Sheffield Worst for atmosphere = Alexander Stadium, Birmingham or Stade Ernest Argeles in Blagnac Worst for a a day trip is Barrow. Worst for a few days away = Blackpool
  12. Dewsbury by 40 Goole by 6 Haven by 12 Midlands by 12 And Hornets to win the Andy Mazey Derby by 14
  13. Their end-game will be to merge all teams west of the pennines into a massive regional superclub. Similarly all the clubs east of the pennines, and the three cumbrian clubs. Midlands, London and Cornwall will all be merged into a Southern superclub - and we'll have four massive clubs playing each other five times a season in some massive National Four Regions competition until we all die of boredom.
  14. They were out at Manchester Rugby Union, if my ailing memory serves me correctly. I have one of their hoodies in the wardrobe somewhere.
