While this could mean a couple of different scenarios it could also be someone else coming in to replace Richard as one of the directors and dealing with the recruitement side of things.'"
Yes he definitely said that , it wouldn’t surprise me if there was some changes in that department.

The great flaw in that argument is that you HAVE TO PAY rent/mortgages, gas, electric and yes even lurpak (lol) but going to a rugger match is optional. It's tuff dragging fringe fans through the gate as it is but now it'll cost £44 for a couple for a day at the Shay, 50 quid if you want to plonk your backside down. Hey I know that depresses yer but hey ho I'd say "you're having a laugh". Notice that Keighley have had decent crowds charging £15, a big difference .... the same couple would have change to buy some pints in spoons. Just saying as I see it ..... DOOM DOOM but look I ain't a misery - see:

The club also HAVE TO PAY rent and overheads.
Going back a number of years every BoD have been acutely aware of how tough it is the get fans through the gates and the main thing that does is a successful team.
Is there any evidence that reducing admission prices increases the crowds to a level that maintains or increases that particular income stream and helps in producing a winning team?
Not even sure there is a solution with everything the general public have to consider either through necessity if your skint or the amount of other things there are to choose to spend your money on if you have some.
Seeing you mention Keighley, how have they performed this year and didn’t they have to release a few players because they couldn’t afford to keep them?
As before I agree the admission prices seem steep to me but they seem to be upsetting and depressing you more than ListenUp.

The great flaw in your argument is that you look at everything subjectively, the rent , electricity, water , and general cost of living has risen significantly in the past few years along with wages including player wages , these costs have to be calculated and covered, if they weren’t I’m pretty sure you and your twin would be on it faster than a negative comment after a loss . I’m pretty sure if we were in the same league position as keighley you would be crying like you were a few hours ago so using them as an example is laughable.

| OK, Chuckle Brothers, (or should it be Laurel & Hardy) enjoy your intimate night out together no doubt talking tripe (as always) even tho' I must admit I struggled to read past your first sentence as it almost sent me to sleep.

You’re really struggling here tony , you’ve gone away for a few hours and that’s the best you can come up with .

Not a big fan of anti depressants tbh , I prefer natural remedies to fluctuating levels of dopamine and serotonin. Your erratic responses tell me you’re not quite capable of managing these areas in your life , I recommend some cognitive behavioural therapy sessions. You can talk to me tony .

Gets asked a perfectly reasonable question about evidence that lowering admission prices increases crowds and maintains income streams and how it has worked out this season for Keighley the team you quoted as the model to follow and answers as above
Who’s talking tripe?
Anyway I thought you were ignoring my posts, you’ve been taking a look haven’t you.

Earlier this week I booked 2 tickets In the stalls for a 2 hour show at the Vicky theatre in town and it cost £63.50 and a extra £1.50 Per ticket for insurance.
£66.50 for a couple of hours entertainment and not a rugby ball in sight.

I went to see a show , it was about a guy called tony , it only lasted two minutes, he ran off the stage crying. It was free too .

| Another reason for staying away is some people are simply not interested in particular sports including rugby league.
Nothing against FC Town and having played at county level myself, these days I have little interest in football and if I got an offer to watch them for a full season for free I wouldn’t be going.

The older I get the less interest I have in sports, feels different now , rugby league is probably my last roll of the dice it represents the working class which football no longer does . No affinity is no infinite support.

Unfortunatley that is the reality facing a lot of our fans next season, besides finding a wealthy backer to subsidise that I am not sure what the answer is. Ive been to less games this season than I have been to in probably the last 30 years or so, not just down to the quality but its the first time in a while where given the choice I would start to pick and choose my games. Pretty much all the people I used to go with has dwindled to the last few due to money constraints and its far cheaper to have a catch up in a pub over a beer than it is to have a catch up at the game especially when there really isn't an atmosphere at most games and you can watch them for free on YT a couple of days later. Add in to that the kids getting older which adds to the costs on match day and its just getting a more and more unrealistic option for families.
God knows what the answer is because I think we can all see realistically the way that rugby league at this level is headed at the moment.
