So why did you make reference to HMRC when commenting about attendances? Deflection doesn't correct the misconception.
Jesus.

A very old misconception. The club is a limited company and pays taxes accordingly. The days of the "sports tax" ended many years ago, so the attendance figure is of no concern of HMRC.
Generally, clubs don't announce attendances simply because they are embarrassing. Batley take note.
Of course BSJ. All limited companies pay the appropriate taxes. Just ask the bosses of many of our most famous coffee houses.....

Looked an OK crowd yesterday, however I notice that no figure is given in today's League Express. Anyone know what it was?
Hope we haven't gone down the disappointing route taken by Batley and some other clubs of no longer giving out attendances. It's a very amateurish look.
Might look amateurish but must help when dealing with HMRC !!

An annual topic I admit, but who would you like us to get in the 3rd Round ??
Draw tonight on BBCiplayer .........from 6pm I believe
As a dreamer and a sentimental oldie, I'd love us to get Bradford at home and avenge the semi-final defeat of '73 ........
(I know we've played and beaten 'em in the CC since then, but it's the 50th anniversary ..........and it'd be a decent crowd !!)
Stanningley at home would be good but am fully expecting a trip to Cumbria as per tradition

No disrespect but I'd like to think that we will provide stiffer opposition that Cornwall and Hull Dockers. And if we can't then we have massive problems.
Famous last words…….

Anyone else noticed that Salford have nicked our kit? Apparently it was their first ever kit so maybe we took ours from them? All news to me. BSJ will know of course.

Another new signing announced today is winger Simon Frewin, seemingly a convert from RU.
Details are on the club website.
Looked good against Bradford IMHO.

Great result away at a team tipped to be play off contenders. Can't remember last time we scored that many points.
Think it was 1981

Great win. Cracking start....

Anyone know what the story is with Connor Davies? Was really looking forward to seeing him in this division after his exploits with Wales in the World Cup. Thought he was stand out for them.

A last minute change.
What a sad state of affairs. Really feel for those who had booked accommodation and were making a weekend in North Wales of it. Shame the RU boys didn’t know they were playing until just now or we might have had the decision to change the venue in time to save such inconveniences

I see we will be playing Ashton Bears. I wonder if it'll be a Saturday or a Sunday.

In the last 10/15 minutes the Bulls had taken off all our first team players and the ones left are mainly from the academy.
Obviously, but we still started to play a different style of rugby. Reckon we didn’t have the confidence to do so until that point

Well. Think we found our best 13 today. The lads that were on the pitch for the final 15 mins.
. Not sure what happened but suddenly felt I was watching a different team; one that wanted to offload, pass and back up.
Liked the look of Simon Frewin. Only on for a short time but looked to have that spark we often miss.

I’d say it’s very doubtful looking at the weather forcaste.
Def going ahead. Too much brass at stake and it ain’t exactly monsoon weather. Even the Ship Inn isn’t under water yet

Can anyone remember what exactly the relationship the Club announced with Shaw Cross at the beginning of last season that resulted in the massive attendance at the Widnes game? I ask because my nephew has just started his 2023 training with the Sharks under 15 team and is having to travel to Bell Vue, Wakefield ....Seems a bit strange. Surely this is the sort of thing that we could be helping with??? Half those lads live just around the corner as do their parents..

Think it's one price in this season whether you sit in the Northstand, or stand on the Beaumont Terrace
That’s my point. I can sit now for the same price as it is to stand. Perfect.

I suggest if your going to the game, go to the online page and buy a ticket, the more that is sold, the more chance of the southstand been open, it's a no brainer really you save £5 on entry, and also convince's the club there is a hunger to see the southstand open for the Bradford game and future games
If your going.. Buy a ticket
It's win/win situation
Ain’t fussed about south stand being shut this year. Makes perfect sense financially and the club have done the right thing by letting people sit for a reasonable price. I’ll be standing happily behind the sticks (for one year hopefully
)

Think it depends on interest, tickets have been made available in advance for £10 I believe, sell enough and I think it will open
If I was a betting man (which I'm not been a tight ar$ed Yorkshire man which I'm proud of)
I'd bet the southstand will be open for the Bradford game
I see the online ticket is a good £5 cheaper than paying on the gate....£10 is a great price, lets hope it does attract enough to open the South Stand. That said we managed quite nicely without it for the Huddersfield & Hull KR games last winter.

If only there was a local club offering adult entry for £10 and kids free... oh hang on
Great idea. Hopefully we’ll be doing the same
with little away support time to try and tempt the locals in.

Enjoyable and informative with a good turnout - a fair bit of cash raised for AR together with a reminder of the benefits that Squadbuilder has brought to the club.
Boxing Day fixture was confirmed - 12.00 at Mount Pleasant.
No other friendlies could be confirmed until final agreements have been reached with the other teams involved.
And we got to see BSJ in the flesh...Looked much more jolly than I imagined..

Attendance figure
in Dewsbury Rams
Posted
Thought it would. As I've mentioned several times there are a few members of my family who'd turn up more often if it was a tenner. Full marks to Batley for trying it and I hope it pays off for them.
