Jughead Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 1 hour ago, Just Browny said: Warrington offered 500 coach places for a quid each. Those appear to have gone so they have offered another 500 places, again for a quid. This sort of thing needs to be done more in the game, especially these televised games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josef K Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 With football having trouble with a few idiots throwing things at players, whilst others have decide to invade the pitch dragging their family with them. I hope this doesn’t happen with our games throughout the leagues. Is it actually against the law for a so called fan to go onto the pitch, is there a fine. if there is id heavily fine any supporter who try’s that.

Every SL club should see C4 as a lifeline and chance for game to prove its worth for commercial partners and capture a new generation of fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man of Kent Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 The thing I like about the ad is it’s almost as much about the fans as players, and the use of raw emotion seems designed to appeal to yoot mandem. It’s saying: ‘This is a tough, skilful sport with passionate players and fans’. Which is exactly right. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think for these TV games there should be extra affort, kids go free, drums, flags, marching bands, cheerleaders, fireworks the lot! The game of RL needs to unite to make this a success, Super League and Championship clubs alike unite to help support he game and its partners especially Channel 4. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree although I think it’s more important the home clubs promotes the games/puts offers on/gets a good atmosphere that comes across on tv, it really does add to the tv viewing experience.

There's real potential for this to give the game a bounce which combined with a successful WC could improve our fortunes. We need new fans and terrestrial coverage is the vehicle to get there. 2 I was born to run a club like this.
