| After defending the club on the other thread regarding announcing the academy fixture, can you defend the club again tonight?
On a bad night all round I was absolutely disgusted that there was no mention of the superb achievements of the academy in reaching the Grand final which will be played at home on the 3rd of October.
Knowing all these details, why were two dance routines and a pathetic sumo challenge more important at half time than acknowledging their achievements and letting people know they would be at home in a grand final on the said date?
Absolutely bizarre!

| this is a good place to vent your frustrations about anything and I can see where your coming with the academy side, but you couldn't get as much exposure than sky sports when John Kear announced it on Friday night,
very hard not to criticize the club but I do think the PR sometimes loses its way

| Don't get me started ..... I think some people seem to think that the dancing is more important than the rugby - been with our u10's in previous years , played a couple of games but then come the announcements they don't even get a mention

100% Agree. JK did announce it but that does'nt stop the club promoting and celebrating it's success and at the same time advertising the GF for the Academy lads.
No wonder the kids move on when other so called larger clubs come sniffing.

best way is to be like the ostrich and bury your head in the ground

Why, when we have 'Super League's Premier Dance Troupe' do have other groups come along as well?

Yes I accept we should have announced that a couple of times at least.
As for the dancers I have no interest whatsoever. But if you look around at the crowd and see the number of girls/women that come to our games, if the dancers help this then I would say it is a positive thing for the club.

| I would say we are in danger of having more dancers than fans at this rate.

Beacuse it helps to increase the crowd and beacuse we can draw funding to support them as, unfortunately, not many girls play RL.

Agreed - they should have.
I will try and enquire as to why we didn't.
Also - half the crowd had left before they announced that the players would walk around the pitch - which I thought was poor!

We'd probably attract more to Belle Vue by sticking them on the posters around town and leaving those players off them!
