We all know its the Giants fault the crowd was low, lets look at the key reasons.

1. Warrington charged £5 for coach travel for the game on Sunday, outrageous!
2. People had to pay for a game £20 is a joke
3. The game was on TV, so why would you go. I mean look at old Trafford when Man UTD play and the game is on sky, the place is practically empty.

So to conclude, it is the fault of people of Huddersfield that two of the biggest clubs in the country could not even half fill a stadium that that the giants play in! Congratulations on filling a ground the size of wakefields (no disrespect to wakey).

Quote: Clearwing "6k-ish diehard fans per team isn't too bad, regardless of distance travelled. The near-absence of neutrals is what the RFL should be seeking to address. The local village near where I work (locationI kind if agree, and even if neutrals aren't a legitimate target, surely casual fans from the community.
Have the Rugby league clubs lost touch with their local communities?

As far as neutrals go, there could have been offers for Leigh and Huddersfield ST holders to attend the semis cheap (or even FOC?), its not like they were short of space.

That's actually a great idea. If we can assume that the competing teams will bring up to 6k each, allocate them space at each end of the ground and fill the rest with ST holders with a free pass. It's better for the game to have bums on seats and better for the hosting side to have fans in the stadium. Maybe a few years down the line we can think about converting that to a nominal ticket charge for ST holders.

How many season ticket holders do Hudds and Leigh have?

rlApparently Hudds sold 5200rl
Assuming half that number turned up to the semi,not only is it an extra 2600 on the attendence and buying food and drink, but stick them all together - for insance in the top of the away stand above the Hull speccies. Curved stands like that look spectacular when full.

Perhaps they should have aslo looked at a couple of double headers in the quarter finals?

I do think 6pm on a Sunday was a big reason.

There's no reason it couldn't be opened up to surrounding teams' ST holders too. Hosting fans get in for free, others at a nominal charge, all under the banner of rewarding ST holders.

Edit: having said that, that might risk alienating the fans of the competing teams who may feel punished with full price tickets! icon_confused.gif
