welshmagpie Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Spent an afternoon at Hurricanes today for their game against Swinton, a great day of rugby league in the Midlands. A bit of advice for any fans travelling down to support their team… There are two bars at the ground, one in the clubhouse next to the toilets and one just as you enter pitch side itself. It is the latter whereby all proceeds go to the Hurricanes themselves, the bar takings inside go to the RU club that is hosting them. Sadly, many Swinton fans weren’t aware of this and most of them went back inside for their drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrewxi Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I was there too mate! Did you try the doughnuts; my god! Swinton looked pretty good I thought. Got to be one of the favorites to go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to be one of the favorites to go up. A tray of donuts for me and the wife in front of the tele once home (still some spare don’t worry) and a burger, which was incredible. Will introduce myself if you’re at a future fixture. Swinton did all they needed to. Looked like a championship side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robthegasman Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Well hopefully now this has been brought to the attention of fans from opposing clubs,let’s hope they see this and as such use the latter bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left wife and kids at home, and took four donoughts home as a bribe . I'll message you next home game I plan to get to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 16 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I totally get why you've directed visiting fans to the Hurricane's bar, but there's a potential downside in that if the host union club don't make what they targeted for. RL clubs need to be the primary tenant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm sure you agree that our club, at all levels, should endeavour to be the main tenant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it works out for them and, as you say, they can put their stamp on things as the main tenant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langpark Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 As the weather gets warmer, people will probably naturally opt for the outdoor bar anyway, which is great for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalMrC Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 The club made more money from this game than any game last season. The ground may not be as good but the chances to increase revenue make it completely worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
