moorside roughyed Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Crowd was less than 900.Very poor,interest in the game is on the decline.It's going to be interesting to see what state the game will be in 10 or 20 years time.I wonder when a roughyeds v hornet's game was so poorly attended. And yes the crowds are ageing, you don't see enough kids taking an interest in the game.Personally, I am of the opinion we as fans should be concerned about the future of the game.

Big Doug Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 9 hours ago, the old nine ole said: And to think I was feeling a collective togetherness ... I understand Bradford ... but Dewsbury are well run club ,,, no debts .. we own OUR own stadium!! We are sustainable !! Surely a role model for how to survive in what is a difficult environment I truly believe the true heart of the game clubs should show some solidarity ... If more clubs were managed more like Dewsbury ... then perhaps we would not have some of the shenanigans that is so prevalent within the game at the moment!! Ah but you are missing one small detail you are from Yorkshire. Enough said. I HAVE NEVER GONE TO BED WITH AN UGLY WOMAN.

You are correct TS. Since Kelly arrived there they have been transformed with basically the same team. It just goes to show what a difference the right coach makes.

I couldn't make the game today because of holidays but I've been to Oldham v Hornets " A " team games in the past with bigger gates. You only have to look around in the stands to see the game is ageing. What the answers are I don't really know. For me the move to Super League has been a failure. The logic was for us to produce teams to beat the Aussies. We're no nearer to that now than we were 25 years ago. We will never beat the Aussies while the Super League teams are full of overseas players. I HAVE NEVER GONE TO BED WITH AN UGLY WOMAN.

Super league has been a failure for the game but a success for the teams in the super league - they stole our game. Hard to believe they wont have the fixtures confirmed for the super 8s until wednesday - how are the team at home next weekend expected to sell those games at such short notice. They could have had the fixtures organised in terms of which position plays which at whose ground and when well in advance of the end of the season and then once the final positions were confirmed everyone would know the schedule of games.

glemiln Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 IF the same format is used for the 8's as that for League 1 - it's deja vu all over again for round 1 on 30 July: Hornets v Oldham Swinton v Bulls Batley v Sheffield Dewsbury v Toulouse. Cancel your hols! And our others in the 8's: Eagles A, Batley H, Bulls A, Rams A, Swinton H & Tox A. A very tough 7 weeks ahead. Will we have to win again in France to seal it?
