RFL Match Centre is showing us playing Bedford Tigers at 17.30pm on Sun 14th August. Nothing on the Borncos site but this suggests a possible double header with the Workington game.
If this is a double header, then the club need to fill the stand, if not the stadium.
As far as I can tell, this is 1st v 4th, with 2nd playing 3rd the day before (Cardiff v Army) and could be a cracking game. WOMEN'S sport is on a bit of a high at the moment (can't put my finger on why) and this would be a HUGE opportunity to fill at least one side of the stadium with NEW fans.......I'd open the gates for free from 5pm and place an advert in the local free sheet, get on the local radio stations and shout it from the roof tops......offer a tenner on the door for the mens game, free kids with an adult and 4fuxache get someone in the Buck and Dusty outfits....book a band.....get a couple of food trucks in (no charge to them) and give it a whirl......and whilst I appreciate the huge distances many fans travel to get to home games, if we have 600 there for the Mens game, then let's hope at least 400 stay for the ladies.
IF the ladies win, then they SHOULD get home advantage....meaning we will play Cardiff or the Army the following week either after or before the Batley game.....I know we can't guarantee results, but if there were a better chance to get a new audience to potentially see 4 very good close games with a real chance of 4 victories, then I'd like to know it.
Lastly. SPONSORSHIP. If the new guy can't flog the double header on the 14th to someone, then he needs shooting now..........and the Final (should we host it) should be our biggest gate of the year!
