He didn't forget anything. What he knew, as does anyone connected with the "local" game, is that kids play at 10, 11 and 12(under 12's, 14 and 16's) thus offering them and there fathers the opportunity to go to the Stoop for 3.

Its the open age games that clash

Unless the fathers play the open age game as well

The fact that a clash exists at all is still a bit stupid when you are in dire need of increasing attendances in a city with a small target fanbase. Keep exluding sections of it bit by bit all seems a bit mad to me

Just my view though

Maybe that isnt the only target. Not many fathers play league past 30

wire quin some of the u12 have been played in the afternoon making it difficult to travel to the stoop for a 3.00 ko. There is a clash at Junior level, I know since I have a lad playing.

Listening to Clarky on the TV he said Brian Mac had watched his son play earlier in the day and im sure I saw him at the game last night.

As last night was 6 pm KO and the RLC hasn't started yet, what is the reason for the small crowd. Surely some of the players would have attended last night to see a top 3 team, boosting the gate. Are we to expect a drop in crowds in 2 weeks?

Seriously dude - why are you constantly banging this drum of stupidity?
The club needs to work with the community to bring people back after years of disenfranchisement/chasing around town/not being looked after.

It's called a 'community marketing development program' - they're not coming at the moment! It's a program that develops consumers of the future. It's a long term project that hasn't yet been done properly and you, like the club in the past, are being knee-jerk!
