johnmatrix Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 It's just common courtesy, and most amateur clubs struggle with their own budgets etc but still find the money to provide basic hospitality especially to those teams who have made a significant journey.

Exactly. With this actually being a prestigious professional competition I think minimum standards should apply. It's as if no one could care less as there was a rugby union game on at 2.30 and all they were bothered about was that. It was also the contact in the run up to the game very slack and very disorganised on there side not knowing when and what time they could accommodate us. No fault of the chap dealing with it on their side he was waiting for the an answer himself. This isn't a pop at them particularly just I feel the RFL should put more in place for one of their competitions. On 2/1/2018 at 11:29 PM, MidlandsRugbyLeague said: Where does it say they have to?

Will be the best side we've played in a long while so certainly give us an early indication of where we are in the grander scheme of things for the season to come. We'll warm up against Hunslet (formerly Hawks) RLFC this weekend......seems odd playing a semi pro side to prepare for an amateur side but honestly believe Wath Brow are a tougher proposition. Maybe not this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunsletgreenandgold Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Sure they will mate - we'd never underestimate a Wath Brow side. Be no excuses from us if we don't win - near enough full strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team who has never visited you before are coming a long way to play you and you don't even meet them or arrange after match refreshments. I don't think it needs a lot of working out. What are they learning at this University? It's not good manners. You do know Loughborough Uni is renowned for 2 things - right?

How do they think an amateur club finances their day to day running, boils my pi ss we've never had anything except the odd few balls when we joined the RLC and they soon dwindled to now't. Get off your backsides and raise some cash like to rest of us have to.

neutralfan Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 When I played the Home team put on the food after the game and it was accepted that the home team went round with one or 2 football cards to help pay for it.Is this still the case?That was in the Pennine League in the 80s and 90s!

All of the amateur clubs I have visited in the last several years have run a raffle in the club after the game, of course there may be some that don't I just haven't visited them. I also believe it is a NCL condition of being part of the league that they feed the teams after the game. 100% League 0% Union Just because I don't know doesn't mean I don't understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Smeaton Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Yes, in the NCL the home team have to provide 25 meals to their opponents plus free admission and 20 programs although the latter seems to be ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BARRETT Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 One club offered us 17 'tokens' for food - which only covered the players. Made a complaint that clubs are supposed to have 25 tickets so that the coaches and other officials have refreshments too. The woman replied "if you think we're feeding the waterboys, you can forget it!". Another club asked me to show them where it said in the league rules that clubs have to give 25 refreshments to the visiting club. Generally though, there's usually lots to go around :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
