Well Gazemous.....the club is always looking to save a few quid.

Why don't you drop Dicky Wright a quick email and tell him to save a few quid by not building an away supporters side to the new stadium as 'you' the voice of RL' doesn't think they either an important or intergral part of our game.

In fact the Cas fans would prefer to be in a ground by themselves.

C'mon surely your having a laugh!!

How am I the 'voice of RL''? Simply put, it is the club's responsibility to build their own fanbase, not rely on other clubs bringing fans.

As for contacting RW, away fans do come to games whether they're important or not, so having space for them is worthwhile. That said, I'm not aware of any 'away supporters side' at Wheldon Road...

Do you have a similar gripe concerning Salford and Huddersfield fans who bring a small following to our ground or is it just confined to the 'expansion' clubs?

The emphasis is on us to have a stadium that appeals to all fans but more importantly, the 'stay-away' home fans.

Granted Salfords away support could be stronger, and Huddersfields isn't bad in my opinion. Both of which is very different from being non-existent as it is with the expansion clubs.

Do you honestly think that the Probiz Coliseum ground 'puts off' further potential home supporters (to the tune of 3 or 3,500) coming to the game?
