Rhyl Football in the Community aim through a wide range of initiatives, to encourage people, particularly children, to participate in football and other sports.
Not sure I buy the logic of that Away table. Take out the attendances at Belle Vue from Bangor and Prestatyn's away averages, and would they be ahead of Rhyl ? Rhyl also have bumper away browds at Llanelli, Prestatyn and final Druids game to come.
We have the best supporters in the league without doubt; and we do have a tremendous influence on the team, home and away.
Part of the reason we sometimes get bad press is that other clubs are just not used to having vociferous travelling fans at their grounds, and therefore tend to over react to this unfamiliar scenario.
I admit that some of the chanting is perhaps a bit 'iffy' at times and we really do need to moderate some of it for the sake of the club's standing and well being.
But in fairness to Rhyl supporters they never cause trouble and do bring a tremendous atmosphere to all our games. Their support is worth a great deal to the club and to the players.
It is my personal opinion that the dedication and passion of all Rhyl supporters contributes a great deal to making our club what it is; the best in the league.
