...but unless either Leeds or Wakefield collapse, at least one of Huddersfield and Catalans will be playing in the M8's in a couple of months. I'm happy travelling to Sale this weekend and paying to support my own team thanks. Good luck with the exercise, and you'll maybe get some folk to send marketing messages to (I'd use a temporary e-mail if I was interested), but cheap (or free) tickets come back to bite when you eventually put the prices back up to sensible levels.

I fell asleep the last time these two teams played and was shown on Sky. The only thing that kept waking me up was a cow bell that kept being clonked every time more that two passes were strung together.
Product will need to be a lot better on the field to entice the 10k people turning up this time to come back again, or the job will be a waste of marketing time and money.
Good luck with it and keep the Fartown flag flying.

Sales? Really? I thought you were giving them away. Dumb idea. Some people will take anything just because it's free and probably half of those 4,000 won't bother turning up on the night. After all, it's cost them nothing anyway and they'll probably revert to their original plan of watching Portugal v Spain in the pub. And as for the other half, very unlikely they'll pay next time out (seeing that they haven't paid before).

Charging say a tenner is another matter, however. Might only get 2,000 taking up the offer, but will net 20 grand for starters and more likely be repeat attendees given they're paid summat this time round.

Its a shame to see genuine Fax fans slating another club for trying promote themselves/the game and open up to new fans.

..or even entice some of our fans to watch the mighty giants? Nah, stuff 'em!

Doesn't look a great att at Salford tonight either

Shocking match. I wish I'd watched Love Island. A stranger switching this on, seeing the poor quality together with an empty stand and 3 sply populated stands, would laugh if told it was "top tier rugby league". Nay, not just rugby league but SUPER league!

It's about time these 2 jokers stepped aside. They've had their turn and time for refreshing new clubs with keener support.

I note it didn't give the attendance at the end. Less than 2,000 I would say.

If that is the case why don't Fax reduce to a tenner and get 4000 down bringing atmosphere to the game ?
Not a criticism just a comment.

Not sure if any of you on here watch Rugby League Backchat (Journo's from League Weekly/League Express and a freelance) on Freesport on a Thu but they discussed the merits of bottom 4 SL and top 4 teams Championship. Ironically they all agreed that the two who played in last nights game were not adding value to SL and should go. (last nights attendance looked embarrassing and nowhere near the business metrics they rammed down Fax's throat as a fail when Franchise was around) Huddersfield's attendance was poor inthe Challenge cup v Catalan.They also felt that Toronto Tolouse and Leigh were the only ones who would add value to SL. Fax and Fev were dismissed. I also watched the new SL CEO on Sky build up. He can certainly talk the talk! Allegedly£400k salary being paid by the SL clubs for this guy. Seems out of proportion to Whitehaven on public appeal mode; SL attendances at the lower reaches of 2,000 for bottom 4 clubs and Huddersfield giving free tickets away to attract people in.

I listened to that interview on Sky. He rambled on for 10 minutes and basically said nowt! What did come across was he was only interested in SL and he used to work for Everton F.C.

what about the attendance at featherstone for the cup match between leeds and leigh?? 3k for the champions of super league!!

its a rugby league problem

should be over 8k at giants tonight... if some of the 4500 who took up the offer come back again then its been a success suppose, might bring some new fans to the sport of rl which is what we all want

Dream on.

9121 attendance.

Aye.Up The Fax!
