Hi everyone. I was in the crowd at the Molineux and was excited to see that the half time entertainment included Ultimate. I can second that it was very well received as many around me and in other stands were clapping and cheering both points and layouts. It was just a shame they weren't given a bit longer to play, as it was unfortunately the last game of the season for us and there were lots of presentations to be handed out. It was also great to see Ultimate played from a good vantage point and in front of so many people. I agree that this is a great way to raise the profile of our sport and more teams should look at the potential of playing at local clubs next season. Well done to all those involved, it was by far the best half-time entertainment I’ve seen but I must admit I am slightly biased.
