Continuously taking digs at smaller clubs who get a few thousand out of tens of thousands for not making enough effort..... offer nothing but feeble excuses when questioned about why you aren’t tapping into the 3 quarters of a million people who don’t go to watch your club.

Love Leeds fans on the VT

Pointing out that the leisure market in Leeds is a lot more competitive than in Cas and the population dynamics are also very difference is not a "feeble excuse" - they're the facts of the market.

The facts are also that every club, big or small, needs to work harder at increasing their customer base. If you're not attracting new fans, you're losing fans and the reality is that some clubs aren't working as hard or as smart as others in this regard.

Castleford aren't confined to marketing themselves to the population of Castleford. If their crowds aren't growing because the market is too small, they need to expand to another market.

But yeah, petty 'whataboutism' is really what this sport needs right now.

Average attendance to number of people in town/city and Leeds are near the bottom so their fans should never harp on about attendances

Yeah, it’s not like Castleford have to compete with a place that’s a 3 quid 15 minute train ride away...... stop being a moron

The bottom line is that all clubs have to work harder, and I've never said some haven't. But some aren't working as hard as others.

These forums are full of moans about the lack of crowds, the falling participation, the crap sponsors and crap TV deals. Now we can do what we usually do and take the easy answer by blaming the RFL and hoping that Eddie Hearn will save us, or we can apportion blame with where it actually lies - with ALL of the clubs. My point however still stands, some clubs are more culpable than others.

Back to the usual snorefest over typed lines, I actually take it back you might be a politician. What makes you so smart that you know more than club owners whose interest it is in to make a business work ??? Maybe you should buy a RL club or start your own amateur club in an expansionist area and we can all watch as that club soars to the top of RL showing all others in the sport how it’s done ??? I can’t imagine thinking I’m so smart I have thought of thousands of ideas that club owners and marketing teams haven’t whose interest it is in to succeed.

Another spot on post by CTID.

......of the 28 teams in the top tier of our sport, across 2 comps and 4 countries. Leeds are #6 in terms of average attendances. In 2017 8 of the SL clubs would make up the positions 21-28 with only Wigan, FC and Saints bothering......and of those clubs, only Saints have SFA to compete with other than Knowsley Safari Park!
Cheers
God!

Really says something about the RL fan base when you have people of small clubs being critical of how Leeds are run.

too be fair......I reckon most of your fans live in the ground and are homeless junkies and I am thankful that your coach who I slagged off to his face in 2008 is finally being shown to be a fraud.....









If Leeds are a badly run club then there's little hope for any other sporting institute on the planet....eve Wigan would fall over without Lenegan but Leeds are as solid a business model as I have ever seen!



....I need to shower now as I feel grubby.....

Yeah he's only gone on to win 4 GF's, 2 CC's, 1 WCC and LLS whilst you've been on here posting various numbers and stats........you've sure shown him
