The season ticket gives practically zero value for money for the WCC, the Challenge Cup (bar a home fixture in the 4th round) and the Play-Offs. With clubs increasingly tossing it off during the Regular Rounds it surely calls in to question why anyone - except those that always have and always will - would bother to make the required investment?

Quite.
As I'm not anticipating any changes to the ridiculous play-off format along with the regular round tossing it off with the likelihood of the 4 same teams in the semi finals again next season - my attendances at any SL games will once again be extremely limited.
My focus will be on attending the World Cup games instead - as many as possible. |

Maybe not wins but a competetive team on a weekly basis would suffice and should odd blip aside be a given imo. |

“You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”:1230.gif |

It saddens me to have to admit this is the case, the ability to pressurise and break down defences is a quality rarely seen in recent Leeds performances

Given it only allows entry to the qualifying competition (the challenge cup freebies are gone and the other benefits can be purchased for the price of one ticket which includes one free ticket) then the performances in the qualifying competition are the only judge of value for me, the conclusion for me is not to purchase |

Don't worry about avoiding temptation.
As you grow older, it will avoid you!

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

| Quote: Richie "I really don't give a f*** about the rest of the season if we win next week. I would far rather us win the GF after an indifferent league period, than win every league game by 50 points and not win the GF.
If you're asking for both a GF and a spectacular league season, you need to reset expectations.'"
Sadly the bulk of the revenue comes from the regular season where punters - especially corporate want to see top class rugby for their money. As this season has shown winning the GF is no guarantee of retaining your crowd. If the crowds continue to fall then you will struggle to fund a team capable of winning the GF. |

How low do you think the crowds need to be for the club not to be able to afford a salary cap level squad?
As a some time sporting corporate, BTW, the idea of "top class rugby" or whichever sport is pretty much irrelevant. The profile of the team means far more, and that comes from trophies. |

He's entered 6 comps, reached 4 finals and finished 5th twice |
