Although I am a season ticket holder, I haven't been to the last three home matches for a variety of genuine reasons. I received a phone call from Headingley last week asking me why I had missed them. This appears to indicate some concern over renewals come the end of the season if they are bothering to phone individual season ticket holders.

I can't believe you didn't ring them first to get their permission not to attend.

Question: When was the last time Leeds had a sub 10K crowd for a home league fixture?

Answer: 25th July 2003 (SL8-20) V London Broncos 8,231

(incidentally the next home League game was V Bradford Bulls when 23,035 crammed in)

Question: When might be the next?

Free coaches to Warrington from the club right in the middle of a fall in attendances from us.

Canny lad that Hetherington.

I think the phone call also indicates you're not the only season ticket holder who hasn't been turning up to games. The club have picked up on what they consider to be a disturbing trend. It doesn't take very long for non-attendance among fans to become a habit.

Remember season ticket renewals come out in July 2016 - and those with 12-month payments will start in Sept 2016 -
