Or if there is anyone like that they'd be looking to 'score' down Lumb Lane.

Young Lawrence isn't going to this game, the semi final should we win, and the final!
He's the first to moan about people not attending games, but makes no effort to attend himself! Poor show Lawrence, very poor!

It's because of declining numbers that the RFL in conjuction with the clubs came up with the free 4th round entry for super league season ticket holders in the hope of getting bums on seats but i don't think even that has really worked,as whilst you might get a decent/reasonable attendance figures in the 4th round for a top all super league tie,after the 4th round the figures just drop again.
In general it seems that a lot of season ticket holders throughout the game,not just Leeds will chose not to give up their hard earned cash to pay for none season ticket games.
In todays climate and given the cost of many season ticket packages then this apathy towards the Cup prior to the Semis/Final will continue unless the clubs/RFL take further action.
This year they even set a cap for all clubs ticket prices for the 5th round but even with that IIRC the 'glamour' tie of the round between Huddersfield and Warrington only attracted circa 6000?'" I agree with everything you have written. My post wasn't a criticism of Leeds fans simply an observation that you don't have to look too far back for evidence that there isn't the demand for this game (for the reasons you highlight) that justifies the wailling and gnashing of teeth about the crowd reduction.

Anyone fancy joining me on the concourse on Sunday? I'm taking a cricket bat, set of stumps and a ball to try and get the pre-match entertainment called off.

Its the same with the play offs.
Everyone has to pay and attendances are down compared to a league game apart from maybe the final eliminator(s)
I wonder whether there will come a time where a season ticket gets you into every home game no matter what competition?? If it did how much would GH/RFL bump up the season ticket prices given that no one gives anything away for free.

They would struggle scoring down there, they moved from Lumb Lane years ago, driven out by the locals who used them more than the non-locals!!

I'd go for an idea like this for certain. In my view, there should be two season tickets available one which includes every home match and one that just includes the weekly round matches.
Obviously there are so many issues that need to be thought about. Fans who bought the premium ticket would be rather disgruntled if they didn't get an extra games due to the teams poor performance and even more so if this was due to bad luck (always getting away draws and the like). What's the likelhood of clubs working together to get entry to home and away play-off/CC games included? Pretty similar to the 'reduced rate ticket for another club for season ticket holders' idea that's floated around here a few times.
Then you've got to think how many people would be likely to buy the premium ticket given the risk. It does seem like one of the only ways to get a large crowd along to all pay games. The big draws in the 4th round have shown this (Huddersfield apart).
Another idea that is probably more workable is a loyalty system. Say for every home game you attend, you get 5% or so off your ticket price for each play off match. Say an adult goes to 10 home games paying £20 a pop, they'd get each play off ticket for half price (£20-(10 x £1)). Gives an added incentive to go to regular season matches too which I'm sure the club won't mind. Season ticket holders could get 5% of their season ticket price off each play off match (and possibly off CC cup matches as they'd know their discount upfront). £220 season ticket will get each play-off match ticket for £9.
Any thoughts?

I detest people who use those kind of 'smiley faces' on the end of their sentences. Just so you know.
