Unfortunately it doesn’t. The question I asked was why they were still relatively so poor. Not as an absolute. I have no doubt that Fev have done well to get decent facilities for a semi-pro community club. They don’t have poor facilities for a full-time SL club, they just simply don’t have the facilities of a full-time SL club. They simply aren’t there.
Clubs are proving time and time again that they can’t compete with average attendances bigger than the fev stadium holds, how are Fev going to compete when they haven’t been able to afford to get in place the facilities and infrastructure to even hold the amount of people they need? Are we hoping Mr Nahaboo and his friends just throw money at the club in perpetuity?
So you are stating that we need to raise our capacity then our facilities would go from poor or okay?
I think you are being pretty harsh on the club, when you compare us to say:
- London Broncos (where are they playing next year?)
- Castleford Tigers (Years of 'planning and sky money' but similar level)
- Wakefield - What have they done since 98'
What else would you like to see the club do facility wise?
A lot more has gone at Featherstone than just improving facilities in the last 5 years. It's had to improve it's infrastructure, youth development, media & commercial departments.
As the club positively moves forward then we'll see even more progress through all departments.
