I think the club are doing the right thing in terms of crowds.

We've given away thousands of tickets in the past and all it has done is cheapen the product we've got to offer and cost the club money. Better to have 5k fans paying full price then 10k getting in for next to nothing. The stands may look fuller and it may make us feel better but if its not increasing the revenue we bring in what's the point? Cheap/free tickets generally just end up in the hands of people who would come anyway.

I also think this push for more marketing is a bit of red herring as well. We've currently got the biggest "personality" in the sport as chairman. He's in every newspaper and on every programme. People know we exist, where and when we play, they are just choosing not to come because we are not very good. At the start of the year they turned up because there was the chance we might end up being good but that quickly fizzled away and consequently the crowds dropped. It's a really simple idea, win more games of rugby league than you lose and crowds will increase.

If we were playing Real Madrid tomorrow at short notice the ground would be full, it's not a lack of awareness that's killing us it's a poor product. If next season goes as we hope then crowds will increase (as they have this year).

Totally agree... does my nut in reading all the bull about transport and access.
Like yourself, I need to travel for every game and believe me, getting from Blackburn (the a-hole in the middle of nowhere) to Barton can be a real pain but still do it to support our Team!!!!

3 people on the bus from Gorilla warfare in Walkden...would have been 4 but I was away Usually a good 10 of us go, but Sat night made it impossible for most.

I thought it was some sort of special offer by the club I'd not seen.

Seems the club may well have read my previous post. Just seen on twitter that it's £10 entry against the Rhinos, did not click the link so am unaware of any T&Cs. Hope the word gets put out and have a 7k attendance. Get done club.
