WARRINGTONIAN! EVERTONIAN! CLINTONIAN!:12094.jpg



As someone else mentioned earlier in the thread - there is no use lamenting those who didn't attend. Yes the attendance was pretty cringeworthy but despite the low home turnout, I thought those of us who did go created a pretty decent atmosphere.

I can see why some gave this one a miss though - Expected us to win easily or get beat, Prices, and we must remember we have played every week of the season this year with the Cup Run and the maximum number of playoffs, and compared to a small club like Widnes icon_wink.gif , fans have racked up a sizeable bill.

Roll on next week. icon_smile.gif

[b:33tg3xj5]Me:[/b:33tg3xj5] I'm still reeling from the news that someone is considering watching the 1st and 3rd game on Saturday and NOT watching Warrington play. It's like being in Shea Stadium when the Beatles came to town and deciding to nip out for a fag. [b:33tg3xj5]knockersbumpMKII:[/b:33tg3xj5] Is it FOOK, you're good but you're not THAT good, jesus you wanky fans need to get over yourselves, Beatles at the Shea in '65 was a once in a lifetime opportunity for some (despite the following years performance), you can watch a very good team in primrose & yellow play every week if you really wanted to but comparing it to one of the very best music groups of all time in an iconic stadia such as the shea is overegging your importance, you're not even the best team in SL atm:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_50086.jpg

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union. www.squadbuilder.co.uk:1883.jpg

Millions, have given it a modicum of consideration.

Anyone catch the attendance at Man United's League Cup game tonight? When the product is overpriced (£45!) footy is as vulnerable as we are.

That wasn't the lowest priced ticket. Reality is that you can get into Old Trafford for £28 for the lowest price seats. Yes you can pay a lot more but ticket prices is not why that game had a relatively poor attendance.

Although based on an incorrect assumption, you're right about vulnerability. On a slight tangent, some bloke said to my old man t'other week "Warrington are dependent on TV money, if TV went away, you wouldn't survive." He's right. It's not just the money we'd miss, it's the exposure that leads to sponsorship which would also drop. We're very vulernable to losing TV income. Then again, so are Manchester United and all football clubs.

Back to crowds - our ground is 80% full most weeks. Of the 11k that go, about 72% of those are ST holders and therefore the cash is "guaranteed". As long as that stays about the same, and the Salary Cap isn't raised too much, and Sky don't do one, we'll be fine. One off drops in play off crowds are largely irrelevant.

Quote: Dropkick Murphy "Haha! There will be half empty grounds everywhere - including at the final if England aren't in it - coupled with limited media interest, and people on here going mad with quotes about how, "We all know rugby league is the greatest game of all" and it's disgraceful that no one else agrees. Those who go the games will be moaning at other RL fans who don't - accusing them of letting "The Greatest Game Of All" down, and those who just aren't interested will say the tournament is a waste of time anyway, while probably having a dig at McNamara (or "McBanana" as they will no doubt hilariously call him) for good measure.

This fume-a-thon will then intensify tenfold a couple of years later when the RU World Cup is played here with far higher attendances - including at games played in the north - and the media reporting that will go with it.

I can't wait.
