Lets not forget that from the late 70's to the early 90's Huddersfield as a club were nothing - crowds well below 1000 for most of that time meant that a whole generation of fans were lost, we didnt have Dads/Grandads etc passing on their love of the club to other family members like most other clubs did in this time, we have literally had to build a fan base up from 4-500 people, with no success to people who had no idea there was even a RL club in Huddersfield.

I think we compare pretty well with other clubs who have always had that steady fan base to pass on to others, and if reducing ticket prices gets people interested then why not.

Quote: knockersbumpMKII "Firstly Hudds haven't gotten anywhere close to increasing crowds 100% (or doubling as you say) from ten years ago, to the 2012 season it was 63% increase on the 2003 season. That the 2012 season was artificially high due to the £50 season tickets (u12's free) makes that increase not so valid. The increase for 2012 over 2011 was only 10% which given the giveaway prices suggests Huddersfield isn't really interested in RL as a whole.
They have also gone from also rans getting heavily beat when they first come into SL to a team that got to the CC final by 2006 and have continued to improve no end yet still can't manage 8k av with giveaway season tickets.
This season they average 6420, an increase of just 36% on 2003..
So, as I was saying, lowering your prices whether for a season or one game, or indeed letting fans in for free as per Hudds 2008 leeds game which got 12k+(then 6150 against the league leaders the next match) shows that doing so does jack all to helping increase the attendances/income further down the line.
So you were sayin'....'"


You only have to go back to 2001 to find Huddersfield with an average crowd of 3,554. Their fanbase has increased, more than can be said for such clubs as Bradford and Castleford.

To be fair its both clubs that need applauding, these prices wouldnt be available if Leeds hadnt agreed to them too so well done both clubs for seeing sense.

Still no evidence to support giving away free/reduced tickets to increase a clubs fanbase..
10 years or 12 makes no difference at all, when you take into account success and Hudds getting into the top flight it is clearly a natural progression in increased attendances as I stated previously, it has nothing at all to do with making tickets cheaper in any shape or form. The stats are pretty clear on that.
