I think Gutterfax's idea about the hundred quid is absolutely brilliant and I'd go for it. I've got 2 Chp clubs within 20 minutes and i'd definately be up for that. In fact, it's such a good idea I think you should contact the RFL about it.
I'm not the Championships biggest fan but if I had to put a hundred quid upfront and be allowed into any game id do it in a shot, simply to fill up some sundays as wire dont exactly play many sundays.

Very poor I would guess

Something I have been arguing about for a few years now , the RFL do have the money , they offer it to us with strings attached , I'd rather they actually spend it on us than give it to us in a vain attempt for us to find a ' benefactor ' , which just isn't going to happen without P and R

Sadly, the vast majority of people in Doncaster are not interested in watching Championship or Championship One RL.

This can't be true – Championship 1 is the only division where there's Something To Play For. And we know from multiple threads in the past that it's [ionly[/i the possibility of playing for a promotion spot that attracts crowds.

I think a lot of it is the cost. £12 to see a game. For a team that is around non league standard in football its £7.

If you look at a lot of grounds most of them are the quality of non league grounds. Ok Doncaster, gateshead and hunslet have good stadiums.

It also doesnt help having massive gaps in the fixture list.

Hornets' ground is better than most in SL, too.

Really don't think ticket price is the main reason. Near me, it's £13 to watch Histon United in the conference (and £14 to watch Cambridge, also in the conference). Histon's "stadium" is capacity 3000 odd, comparable to plenty of lower division RL grounds. RL teams play considerably fewer games than non-league football clubs, so the total cost over a season is still quite a bit less.

As a thought experiment - if Hunslet (or any other C1 club) had free admission for a game, what difference do you think it would make to the crowd? I think you'd still see less than 1000 people there.

I don't think you can really apply the same solution to all of those clubs. The problem at say Hunslet, Swinton or Rochdale (it seems to me) is one of long-term decline; most of their fans seem to be people who were introduced to RL several decades ago and the problem is how to reconnect to the local community. Even the "expansion" clubs - Skolars, Gateshead, S. Wales don't have the same issues when it comes to building a fanbase. Most people currently watching Skolars are people who play RL (& their families) and/or people from a RL background who live in the south east. Most people watching S.Wales are (I suspect) people who watch Rugby Union in the winter.

Agree that the fixture list situation really does no favours to Championship 1 clubs.

As I said earlier

Marketing is the key , but the clubs have neither the money or the knowhow of where to start

... but the fact remains that the public of Doncaster seem dis-interested.

I think your mistaking Rugby League with soccer.
However, I live 2 miles from the Dewsbury ground and you really wouldn't know they existed if you weren't a league fan already.
