Speedway may well keep us going but on the other hand it has also took some of our supporters, especially young families where the kids get more excitement from watching the bikes roar round the track than standing watching a rugby match, so that has to be balanced out.   Many people used to attend both but with prices as they are now they make a choice between the bikes and rugby.   I'm sure that some people that used to follow Haven also now go to the Comets, maybe not in the same numbers but I'm sure it happens.

473 according to the Townies website.

About 20 were Oldham supporters and 4 Haven fans.

a disappointing 473 lindsay. but if we keep playing like that it should improve. That performance  deserved better. i know it will be ridiculed by SOME haven fans but i understand the main reason why that  SOME  are doing that

How about the game Lindsay  did you enjoy it

[Xo-Lindsay-oX]

No :')
It was a slow paced game and pretty one sided in towns favour.

Sorry pal but when you say haven have been poor for last 2-3 seasons ur wrong marra 2 seasons ago when barrow won the league if we,d have won our last 2 games away to widnes and leigh we would have finished top but we never and ended up 5th so last season was the only one weve been poor in in a long time

Lets be honest here, both team have pathetic crowds for a so called rugby league hotbed.

Dear ca28 i think u hit the nail on the head, apathy is reigning and apart from all the friendly banter above I think we do have a big problem at both clubs, a merger just wont work [personal opinion of course] but we seem to be locked in a downward spiral to be fair both clubs results haven't been disasterous but the pressure on general standards and attendances is downwards. The best thing for the srea is when all three clubs are doing well and competition breeds success.
