I disagree finances do make a difference and definitely have an impact, I think a lot of people had an eye on next week when they have to travel to the game and all of those expenses that go along with it, and whilst it is great that some people don’t have to worry financially, some of us do even if we do earn a reasonable wage this weekend was uni start weekend and dropping of 2 daughters, supplying food and paying for accommodation I for one certainly didn’t have the spare cash to go and see a game that was on sky even though I was 3/4 the way there from Norfolk, I would have loved to have gone, if the prices had been dropped it may well have made a difference to my decision as even £10 less a ticket would have offset the extra petrol cost and helped changed my mind.

It's like the Sopranos on here today.

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.

NOT a true fan
