I have now had chance to get over yesterday and can reflect and say a big thank you to all concerned. At the start of the season if they said we would finish top and just loose by 1 measly point in the grand final how many would have expected it. It was a good day yesterday vociferous crowds some entertaining rugby and the surreal experience after about 30mins, plus the sda news about Terry Newton To put things into perspective, we lost and the history books will show it was a close game. Looking at the positives regarding the following we took, yes it was our cup final and there were a lot of once a blue moon fans present, hopefully even if 20% of them return on a regular basis it will help the club. What more do the club need to do to increase attendances and bring in the revenue. We have a sucessfull side that play some excellent rugby. a hard working committee that must tear thier hair out with attendances of less than 2000. A manager who is very enthusiastic, knowledgeable who motivates his team, a back room staff that is the equal of Super Dooper League, facilities that are beyond recognition from a few short seasons ago. We have supporters clubs that raise extra finance for the club. lets kick on from here, redouble our efforts, gets the fans packed in, win handsomley with good rugby. Thanks to all those concerned with an an excellent season, let us mere fans help keep the momentum going, give your ideas for revenue to the committee. Roll on 2011 season and up the Rovers

very interested in the comments on how we missed a trick. However to purchase a ticket you had to sign a disclaimer. This disclaimer contained your appropriate contact details. I am quite sure that the club will utilize this information for promotion work to keep the " Final " fans informed about season tickets, events at the club house and countless other opportunities. Regarding the club shop shop not being " manned" all the time we must remember Graham is an enthusiastic supporter and volunteer for the club. He cannot be present all the time. The stock available is limited at present due to it being the end of season, most of it being sold on Pontefract Market. The marketting of the the "Flat caps and Tee Shirts" at the point of sale was brilliant. Well done to all concerned.

Another marketing masterstroke

Cracking night last night, good result and a good crowd. there were many behind the sticks last night that were not real regulars which is excellent news all round. I hope they come back next season. It was a good atmosphere all round last night especially in the bar after the match. Hope the bar takings were "staggering". Thanks to all concerned for what has been a remarkable season

Am i correct in remembering it was flat caps on the terraces and Bullough ( excuse spelling) and trilbies in the main stand ? Could be wrong going back to when i wore short trousers. Soon be kick off.

Getting really wound up at work today, unable to really concentrate. Looking forward tonight. Good luck to all the players in Rovers colours. I watched the bit about Rovers from the 60's the other day my how things have changed for the better

What a great event it was on Friday. A very professional event which says a lot about the direction of the club. Thanks to the Joint Supporters for all the hard work and effort that went into the night and throughout the season

Had the pleasure of attending yesterday afternoon. What an incredible experience it was. Lots of folk enjoying themselves. The players and committee out in full force. It really opened my eyes as to what has really happened to the club over the past few years. Well done and a big thankyou to all concerned.

just having a pot of tea in my " Champions 2010" pot. Enough said, we have a "Champion team

Well i have now settled down after the victory on Sunday and its implications. I would like to pay an immense thank you to all the team, the Board of Directors, the back room staff, coaches, club shop bar staff for a brilliant season so far. There have been sweeping changes over the past few years and this has reflected in the professionalism of the club both on and off the field. Thanks again and good luck for the remaing few games.

saddened to read of his untimley passing. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. Your addition to the hall of fame will be a fitting tribute to the contribution you have made to the Rovers and the game.

Tried to watch but decided to watch paint dry instead. Even the crowd were not excited and the powers that be be wander why attendances are falling. Bring back promotion and relegation adds a bit of spice into competitions. Winners and loosers promotion and relegation. sorry is that swearing. I consider my wrists slapped

For the old uns amongst us who remembers the song "My name is Macnamara and leader of the band". Sounds like he has blown the wrong note. Whisper has it that a certain Mr Noble could be in the pipe line for a return according to a certain section of the Bulls fans

Brilliant, was it a wedding or a Babtist Christening. 2 for the price of one. Causing a lot of laughter in the staff room.

Alan was there as well

Following Raoul Moats attack on a fish and chip shop all chippies in Northumbria will be closed until he is caught. There'll no more fishes on lttle dishes til the Moat comes in. So Robin and Frank you will both be safe

No liquid refreshments

That would be telling! but they were putting money into the club.

as you say Robin we are there for the beating, of C@s and Wakefield. There again we might , just might cross over.

Saw Stuart at the match last night, first time he has been all season, first crowd shot guess who was on yes you have guessed. Its that man Stuart, or was it his twin brother. Last time i saw him was at a graduation ceremony at Leeds Met some 5 years ago. There were also a lot of new faces at the match last night. hope they make a habit of comming to the Big Fellas Stadium. Also present two Super League coaches.

1 to 17 all played as a team for each other. Stand out performances by Briggs, Dickens Hardacre, very closley followed by the rest of the team.

I shall be on my usual perch outside the club shop to give out sponsorship forms, standing order forms and to collect your jars for the spread and save. Dont be shy come and pick up a form or just say hello

Whilst i agree it was not our best performance we can only play as good as the opposition allows. Thought defensively we were on top. However we coughed a lot of the ball so the completion rate would have been down. We did lack a bit of go forward, possibly by trying to rush. Perhaps we could have utilised the wind and slope more, there again i am only a fan and did not play. well done to the team. Man of the match Briggs Kain Dickens

Plans are going well for the sponsored walk to Batley. If you are interested in participating in the event contact Frisa via email at FRISA@live.co.uk. alternatlively send me a PM. Sponsorship forms are also available from myself at the next home match or via email.

i have had three interesting conversations recently with fans ftom superleague clubs. A cas fan said "we are in Super League sod the rest" A Trinity fan said there is no promotion or relegation, we are terrible, no point in going to watch it is meaningless. Not going again this season. A Leeds Fans wants promotion and relegation back so all clubs have to be competative. This makes the games better quality and attracts the fans. He is looking forward to Featherstone being back at the top league again. Can you see the FA not having promotion and relegation
