Quote: craigizzard "How much of this is down to the franchise points format, in which regular season attendance counts as a big tick, leading to discounted season-tickets to bump up the numbers but a devaluation of the "value point" of a game as spectators become accustomed to paying less.'"

I'm sure that has to be a relevant factor WRT poor play-off attendances. The fans do not value the SL product at £20 a game or more, and at some SL clubs the fans don't value the product at £10.

Quote: craigizzard "£10-£20 should be a bargain for even a mid-sized sporting event even in a recession (though it would still obviously exclude some spectators), but if your ST is £100 it doesn't seem that way.'"

When the business model involves maintaining a customer base of loyal season ticket holders paying between £50 and £150 for an adult season ticket, it's difficult if not impossible to turn the tide. Once they get used to paying at Poundland, they won't be keen on paying Waitrose prices for what is still a Poundland product, particularly when the play-offs are then seen as perhaps a one-off and unnecessary impulse purchase that they can well do without.

Quote: FlexWheeler "What about reigning golden boot winner kevin sinfield? Or worlds best winger ryan hall? I ought to attend tonight. After all, it's one of those rare meaningful games where the winner is a mere 80 minute performance away from a Grand Final appearance whilst the loser has their season terminated. Additionally, it's a game which could go either way, though I still think it's around two-thirds in Leeds winning favour in probability terms.

Unfortunately, I'm in the habit of not attending and habits are difficult to break. If only there were some genuine star player attractions that could tempt me... alas...

So you criticise attendances all over the forum, yet don't attend.

Good one!

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif



Shame you missed a cracker for your team. Was played in the correct manner, intense, some great play, some forced errors and all down to a drop goal in the end. Maybe next year you will buy a ticket, but then next year maybe you won't win. So opportunity missed.

So I decided to take on the nightmare that is the m1 on a Friday and go to the game. The thought of a knock out pay off excited me. For me the factors are
Play off format
Weaker teams uncompetitive
Last minute arrangements
Economy

Personally I think the format is most to blame. Top 8 is just not feasible. The gap in quality is to big. Hull vs catalans just doesn't excite. The format is stupid and clubcall is a gimmick that adds nothing. Only a certain grip of teams could win it and that is the top 5. The other clubs are just filler.

Think that the games are not died until 5 days before doesn't help. It's not enough time for people to be as free as they are when they buy regular season games.

Money is tight for some, and a payoff game at shortnotice is not to priority for some, especially when the game is on sky
