Nope, I'm quite sure that I said Leeds would beat the "whipping boy SL rabble" of Wakefield and Catalan. I'm also quite sure I said the Wigan game would be "tricky" as it indeed turned out to be, but not impossible. I'm also pretty sure that I mapped out Leeds easy route to the Grand Final from that beautifully crafted position of 5th with absolute precision and accuracy before the completion of Round 27.


Nope, I doubt he'll do that. In fact I know he won't do that. What I do know is Leeds are not providing value for money to season ticket holders with all the dross they serve up during the regular season and anyone who purchases one are being short-changed and taken for a mug. It is in GH's best interests to recognise this because season ticket sales will eventually suffer as a consequence. The team only turning up for the final few weeks of the season will not alter that.

Any loss in season ticket sales would be more than offset by increased tv revenue and merchandise sales arising from winning stuff. Fans overestimate their own importance.

I don't disagree with any of that to be honest. Leeds play the system like a piano, educated by previous failures (03, 05 and 06).

Season tickets? No thanks
Knock out games and finals will do attendance wise, if the players don't turn up why should I?

oh dear. oh dear oh dear oh dear

This is the supreme irony. The attendances for the games which matter... they are abysmal compared to the season ticket based attendances for all the dross during the regular rounds. What was the attendance at the JJB last night? I've seen 8K quoted... surely that's not accurate?

The attendance was 12,344. Embarrassing turn-out all round but particularly from Wigan's supposed 18th man.

Getting their Grand Final tickets early must have had an effect.

Not good but hardly surprising when compared to other Wigan V Leeds play-off attendances.
2012 - 12,344
2010 - 12,117
2002 - 13,157

Leeds V Wigan play-off attendances are better.

I've always got mine very early. It's never been determined by whether Leeds make the GF or not. I'm not attending the GF this year however. Made that decision at the start of the season along with non-attendance for the meaningless regular season dross. The only exceptions have been the WCC, Bradford away (due to the financial circumstances) and Catalan at home (free ticket and an excuse to meet up with a few people). My patronage towards the game shall remain practically non-existent until credibility and meaningful games are restored.

May I ask when this may happen so I can avoid the area wouldn't want to be put of my dinner ! Well done sirs on a great result last night .
