Agreed on Thirs night fixtures, season starting too early and repeat fixtures.

I disagree on Friday fixtures, Fridays to me are the best for us and I feel Friday nights is SL night especially at home, corporate is also bery important and Fridays will always be the best night for corporate clients

We had 14 teams under licensing, it was so much better.
You can now face the same club 7 times. It’s an awful system.

1 Friendly
2 League home
3 League away
4 League duplicate
5 Cup
6 Play offs
7 Play offs again

3 weekends of consecutive storms may also have dampened enthusiasm for an outing to watch some Rugby. Agree that a well run licensing and franchise system coupled with a 14 team league and decent marketing would be a good way forward.

I’d like more of a mixture but know that doesn’t work for everyone.

We should definitely make better use of the new SouthStand facilities. I’d like to see a few Leeds Rhinos Festivals each year. Play Saturday afternoon or a Sunday afternoon with a bank holiday Monday. Have some bands playing after the game. Indoor stage and outdoor stage. The bar would take a load of money.
Events draw people in, that’s how Toronto built their following.

I expect Corona virus to have an effect on attendances this season .I've just heard the cobra meeting today to discuss a possible ban on mass gatherings which if that doesnt happen will still have an effect on attendances

I was thinking about this when I heard that gatherings of 5,000 or more would not be allowed, how many ST holders do we have?

Could they restrict it to ST holders only and you would have to register for the game beforehand and only the first 5,000 registered could attend? it would be better than playing it behind closed doors which they would have to do.

Agree. I think that would attract more kids to the games that are the future of the sport. Late evening games dont do that as much

I know as a lad when we used to play on Saturdays that I couldnt go as I had a Saturday job. When I left school I worked in retail so still couldnt go, best thing that happend for me was switching to Sundays and latterly to Friday nights. Now I don't work in retail I can go on Saturdays. The point being is that you can't please all the people all the time and there will always be people that can't attend on any given day but will go when their life balance allows.

Potential to cause huge cash flow issues within the game I'd have thought.

I run the Prediction Comp on the Wire Board and one of the guesses is the attendance v Warrington (it's the only chance of some of us getting a point this week ha ha) has it been confirmed anywhere?

Well done on the win and thanks in advance

Not at Salford, Huddersfield and Wakefield...

For me it all changed when I had kids. Friday nights didn't fit into my lifestyle and gradually I didn't renew my season ticket and stopped going as much. Luckily my oldest 2 are getting into it and we're going to more games now, but they have to be weekends and there aren't many of them. For me it would be great to get more weekend matches and at more reasonable prices. The 3 of us sat in the south stand and it cost about £70. A far cry from when we got in for free as kids at half time.

Exactly the same - young kids make Friday nights very difficult, they’re tired and grumpy as hell come 8pm, never mind 9:30/10pm. It then has a knock on effect into Saturday, coz they’re still tired and therefore inevitably naughty on the Saturday. So, Friday nights are generally a no go, particularly if it’s on Sky - there’s no benefit to actually going to the game in person in our scenario.

We go to more away games than we do home games - the kids love it, but I do miss the routine of being a ST holder, and really wish I could give the kids the same experience I had as a kid of going to Headingley every other week, standing in the same spot, getting to know those who stand around you..... Will just have to wait until the youngest is around 8
