Fans Village at Robin Park

[old hooker]

All the money will go back to IL who will then spend some of it on crap championship players

I don't know how I'd manage without the daily doses of sunshine you bring to the forum.

im so glad you are entertained but it is true and you know it

I'd rather the money go to the rugby club than whoever's running the stadium, I've never spent a single penny inside of that ground in 20 years.

I'm sure they've done this before for certain games but if it's going to become a permanent fixture then it's a good idea.

Hopefully we'll see more money going back to the club. I'm assuming the rent at the DW if fixed? If not then surely there's the risk of the rent being raised to offset any losses from not selling as much food in the ground.

It is fixed it is 10% of our gate money. I hope the Fans Village is a success and it generates money for the club. I hate it when we put money into football clubs at the expense of rugby league, the semi-finals at Bolton being a prime example.

The usual naysayers but the idea is right just as long as it is done properly.Decent beer and reasonable prices.

[ancientnloyal]

It’s a positive thing. It won’t be for everyone but will be more accessible than the SS Bar. There should really be no issues with this news tbh.

[southportcdm]

Sounds good to me. I like the idea of knowing that any money spent goes to the club. I'll be there next Friday.

This is ridiculous advertising of this event! No wonder it's never a roaring success when it's only advertised the day before the actual event

God knows what's happened to advertising these things. IL should be all over his marketing department with a great big cosh. It's pathetic.

[fozzieskem]

They genuinely seem to have made an effort but for Christ sake advertise it better,people aren’t psychic tell them and they will come to this sort of thing
