Don't quite get some fans to be honest. I understand people's financial situation can vary but I managed to get to the semi-final v London on Saturday and my Dad and I traveled up from Coventry. I would say there was a maximum of 50 London fans there. I would love for them to stay in Super League and for us to have a strong team in London, but lets face facts, their performance on Saturday was embarrassing and add into the mix 50 fans showed up its shocking!

Sorry London fans but its time to knock London Broncos on the head.

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!
