ChrisH Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 465 is the stated attendance at the Midlands Hurricanes v Rochdale Hornets game. An improvement on the couple of games I attended last season and something to build on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweaty craiq Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Wakey are doing the basics right in the Championship - scoring img points and generating interest. The ST deal was numbers not cash designed with the gamble being they buy a ST in SL, but focussed on family not adults and families enjoy the occasion with the result being secondary to a degree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursday and Friday nights (later kick off for the latter) and Sunday arvo. Sound right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would advise clubs practice their leisure safely to avoid “ST deals”. Especially where families are involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got Thurs/Fri/Sat for the next couple of weeks, then a Sunday, they we have a Friday and a Saturday double header. There is obviously a selection person, not sure whether that's on game attractiveness for UK audience, or based on Sky schedules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ring them at least once a year to see what deals are on offer. They are always very friendly, and I always end up better off (or less out of pocket as Mrs Exiled would frame it). If you have a few minutes to spare of course. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest though all of this is down to a rich new owner. I dread to think what we'd look like in Carter was still here . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek and the Wakey lad probably have a huge thing in common - no point filling in small losses over a long time but winning nowt when you can throw the gamble in a short space and have a much higher chance to succeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, speaking to companies LIKE sky is far better than using their website. It's probably the opposite of most companies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I just cancel online and they get in touch offering a too good to refuse deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
