Every club in every league has "target" games. Wigan have it with The Big One and there are others too. Most clubs could probably do more but the fact that Rochdale were prepared to have a go should be applauded. They got a decent crowd, more than double their average, who witnessed a fantastic game and an excellent performance from Hornets and they raised a good deal of money for Mencap.

Consistency. Consistency is what more I want. I just don't like the fact that we hear nothing from them then suddenly this 10k thing comes out of nowhere. Why not take a more consistent, long-term approach towards growing the supporter base? rather than looking back at a graph at the end of the season and seeing a big spike in crowds in the middle, only for it to fall away as quick as it rose.
You guys are right by the way, I was being a little bit harsh on them. But I just hope they keep up their efforts and haven't already put the cue in the rack now for the season now that this Workington match is over...
