It's not Leeds job to fill every away ground they go to, it's Widnes job to fill their stadium, any fans Leeds bring are a bonus, I bet at least 800 where from Leeds. Probably doubled that if played on a Sunday.

I said on the Leeds forum that Widnes have become a zombie club, typical of any club that James Rule comes in contact with. It'll be sad to see (although I don't think it'll happen), but I wouldn't mind seeing Widnes get relegated as it might wake the Widnes board up.

Absolutely agree, it's not Leeds job to take fans to away matches.
However, supporters are supposed to support and not sit at home on their backsides, pretending that they are "Leeds no 1 fan"

Mickey poor from Widnes fans and equally poor from the Leeds fans.

The real disappointment is just how uninterested fans have become in the Challenge Cup.
Having SL sides come into the comp later on has taken all the romance out of the competition.

Only 4,500 tickets sold for today's Cas v Saints game. They'll be hoping for a big walk-up.

Not going to look great on national TV.

I highly doubt that’s true. There’s meant to be over 1000 of us coming along and there’s no way there’ll only be 3,500 Cas fans. If there’s a game last years gloryhunters will come out for its this one. Also a lot of people will be paying on the gate as obviously no season tickets for cup games.

So I guess I am nota real fan then for not going to a game that at best after leaving work it would be 8pm before I get to Widnes and then park up and get to ground and a seat so again at best miss half of first half. 180 mile round trip for me on a Friday night along m62.
But yeah the challenge cup is in a dire state attendance wise, but playing games on a Friday night is a strange choice and is no use to anybody.

Shocking that is, still can’t get my head round that unless there’s going to be a massive amount of people paying on the gate which is possible of course. They’ve been poor this season Cas fans, shows there really was a lot of gloryhunters.

We played saints in exactly the same stage of the cup on tv on a Saturday exactly 1 year ago and the crowd was about 5.5k. Today's crowd will be roughly 5k.


I didn't bother with the game last year as I was working so I watched it after work. I'm doing exactly the same today. #glorysupporter.

£22 to get in at Widnes and £20 to get in at Castleford. Sadly lots of fans aren’t willing to part with those amounts to watch games. The majority at league games are season ticket holders, paying considerably less than this. It’s the same every year, prices need to come down for the cup games, if we are to get more people at them.

Imagine the outcry if Toronto Wolfpack got an attendance figure this low.

Last years gloryhunters vs this years gloryhunter then

Maybe few fans care about the CC these days? I actually forgot we were playing last night; fifteen years ago I'd have gone.

I really don't like 8 teams entering at the last 16 mark. It's boring.

I don't suppose the announced attendance had anything to do with the home club having to share the gate money with the away club?

what was the leigh crowd?
