Your staff and fans... : Sat Feb 03, 2018 12:22 am  

Just wanted to mention what a great experience me and the Mrs had at HKR tonight, every member of staff from the gateman to the bar staff and stewards genuinely went out of their way to be welcoming and helpful. I got a couple of HKR fans approach me at the end of the game to congratulate us on the win too. The stewards even treated that young Wakey fan who went on the pitch well and let him back into the stand to catch the last 10 mins.

Really impressed, genuinely not felt more welcome at an away ground in 20 years of watching RL.

Good luck, think you will go ok when you gel a bit more and wise up to some of the dark arts of SL rugby.

I have to agree about the staff and fans
The Car park guys were getting some grief but handled it well.
My dad has a stick and trouble walking and the staff helped him straight away giving him a quick way through.
Fans were loud and in numbers.
I reckon you'll see some success at home. Just takes a bit of time to acclimatise to SL.

+The "Fan's Liaison", who came on the coach before and after the game, was a nice touch - very friendly.

-The bar staff simply could not cope with the demand - did no-one mention that we had sold over 900 tickets?

+The CH stand is pretty nice, good view...first time I have visited HKR since this stand was built...

-But, it needs exits out of the back - everyone having to get to that side gate was a mess.

+Enjoyed the "busker" under the stand - another nice touch.

Overall an enjoyable visit - but we won, so I guess it would be. HKR well short of SL quality, but will surely improve as the season progresses and will no doubt cause some shocks along the way.

Good luck for the season, apart from when you play us again!
