The play off system is definately a factor. In two weeks time we could play huddersfield again at home if Hull KR and Hudds win their next games and Leeds decide to play Hull KR again. So that would be for two adults £72 in a month without petrol, programmes etc to see the what could be the same game twice in one month! Saints fans knew either way there would be another home game either next week or like it is a week after. I expect a far better turn out for eliminating games.
I only think Leeds' attendance was so good as they bought the league leaders shield home and there appeared to be a lot of Hull KR fans there. They had the same problem.
I think the reasons for a number of people not going
1. We have seen some poor efforts from us lately
2. It was "All Pay". In my case over £30
3. Game clashed with other things
I didn't go due to Point 3. However due to Point 1 I would have watched it on Sky if I wasn't doing something else, but my children my have gone if they were not with me. (Same thing if we play on the Saturday next round)
If we had been putting our full effort in and I was able to go, I would have done. I can accept lack of success but not lack of effort
