Can see real benefit in this for all non team related matters. On behalf of myself and my other half, I have duly completed and submitted it. That's 30+ minutes of my life I won't get back!

However, the cynic in me worries slightly about the timing of this initiative, as it will deflect fans attention in the short term from team performance issues and provide some breathing space for the board and the coaching team.

Filled the survey in and realised there is apparently more to the matchday experience than watching the great sport of rugby league, supporting Rovers and singing Red Robin!

Pity there isn't a 'suggestion box' because I would like to lock the half-time games in Room 101, and replace them with on-pitch interviews with fans, sponsors, players, coaching staff, a Board member, ex-players, etc., discussing the first half and speculating on what will happen in the 2nd half. just a thought.

Good idea - ridiculous name. Why not call it fans survey?

Re: The Big Listen : Wed Jan 27, 2016 4:25 pm  

Chris Chester and the board need to listen. All we have ever had is inexperienced coaches. Look at Leeds at Wembley, they showed how a smallish team can defend. Their marker defence is well coached, every tackle the first marker took care of the dummy half, the second marker followed the ball to ensure that the next tackle was completed. Their defensive line never stopped coming forward, all the time we have been in SL our defensive line has been the same. Three steps forward and stop and then wait for the ball carrier to run over the top of us, then a quick play of the ball, our markers don't get set and then give away a penalty. Then whichever of these novice coaches that we have had complains about the penalty count. KEEP THE DEFENSIVE LINE MOVING FORWARDS UNTIL THE TACKLE IS MADE.

half time games? i presume you mean the youngsters who look forward to playing on the pitch maybe once or twice a season? these youngsters that would one day hope to emulate their heros' on the pitch, (either kr or fc), take that opportunity away they may lose interest in the game

no reason you cant do pitch side interviews etc and still have mini leaguers playing

There should be more mini-league games.

I was on about the daft games they do at half time so I will take mini-leaguers out of Room 101
