Quote: the artist "haven't seen the championship attendances yet, how were they? some pretty tasty looking games in there'"

I only know that Widnes v Leigh was 5,866 as I was there in the away end.
Ore sales for Leigh were 700+ & there appeared to be approx 1200+ in our stand !

Also worthy of note regarding all games is the weather factor ! A beautiful sunny day for the majority & so you get the more occasional fans more likely to attend especially if they have a job that allows the extra days off !!!

JESUS WEPT :WALL: HOW MANY TIMES????? £20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000. The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover. There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them. :BEAT::d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_76030.jpg



Quote: Ste100Centurions "FTF ... "nobody is at work the next day" ????
Not being funny as I generally agree with most of your posts but what world do you live in ?
Who provides the services you use when you are not at work on bank holidays ? Bar workers, bus drivers, emergency services, shop workers, NHS etc, etc !!!'"


I still don't get it?
Fans of the self described GREATEST GAME aren't prepared to book time off/take holiday days/swap shifts etc to get to games and in this case, Derby Games between sides maybe 10 or 15 miles apart, but fans of association football don't seem to have the same issues?

Easter fixtures, like Magic weekend are easily prepared for and yes, Thursday fixtures to present issues, but if (a)they are fans and (b) it is TGG, then there should be no excuse for not attending games.

Huddersfield following against Leeds was good. Toronto do not even play at home , they are a complete waste of time for R.L . All they do is offer a retirement home to has beens and never beens

Quote: fun time frankie "Thursday night is no excuse for a local derby when nobody is at work the next day and nobody has to travel'"


Except for Cas fans who have to travel to Catalans for a game 4 days later meaning they have to pick and choose flights to save money and/or have to save their money for that trip instead.

Quote: Fully "Except for Cas fans who have to travel to Catalans for a game 4 days later meaning they have to pick and choose flights to save money and/or have to save their money for that trip instead.'"

1/ Castleford were at Home on Friday, so there really is little excuse for not attending.
2/ The game v Catalan was announced when the fixtures came out, so if you stuck a quid in a money box every day since then you'd have had more than enough to cover flights and hotels.
3/ If you're a fan, you always find a way.....bottom half of the table Brentford v rooted to the foot of the table Ipswich in the 2nd tier on a Wednesday night got 10,039.....that's 106 below the average for Brentford all season.......Fans of other sports seem capable of turning up regularly, but RL fans, although they profess to love the Greatest Game, seem more adept at finding excuses not to attend?

Times are hard, but the reality for a fan of a Superleague side is that other than London and Catalans, there is little excuse for not at least trying to get to 9 away games a year. Some, maybe 2 will be on a Thursday, some on a Friday, but the fans of Salford and Castleford have Saturday afternoon KO's to get to this weekend, whilst Wakey, Hudds & HKR can be on the road home by 6pm at the latest on Sunday and tucked up in bed by 7pm as all three away trips are under an hour by car!

BTW. On the topic of away to Catalan. If the cost of visiting France is the equivalent of visiting the other 10 SL teams, surely as a FAN, you'd skip France and take in 10 extra games a year......
