This has to be a wind up I think it`s a long time since you saw all of these at Bradford on the pitch, well that`s with the exception of the third one down of course.Yes there were clowns in abbundance the other night from what I could see on telly.Oh and yes your right they were a spectacle all right

I hadn't even really thought about donig it for away supporters in our league but you could certainly extend it to them. I can't see us losing out on too much csh from doing so as hopefully more people would be willing to travel.

I was thinking of it more as an offer for Super league clubs supporters. We have already had 2 Bradford fans saying they would go for it and I think you would find others that would too.

Does anyone know if the players are go into local schools on a regular basis? Now is the point we need to start increasing attendancies for this season. 2000 today was poor really with how we have been playing

Agreed, and it's could well be less than that next week as I can't see Gateshead bringing as many as Donny.

A lot is made of the players having to play too many games over Easter but the spectators have to fork out for 3 games aswell and maybe some decided to give today a miss to save some cash. Some people will get paid next week (i know i do.....thank god!) and will hopefully have a bit more disposable income and come down to watch next weekend.

a day out to seaside etc with family.

I wasn't there today I must confess

I thought people were suppose to come when its nice weather....fair weather fans and all!

Anyway I might e-mail the club to see if they think its a good idea.

weather can be too good, then they come under pressure to do other things with the family.
