Quote: morrisseyisawire "I was amazed when I arrived at the ground and saw the turnout - I would have expected a lower gate at the Saints game where the importance of the match wasn't clear-cut. The turnout should embarrass the RFL and make them take a good look at pricing and the play-off format in general.

Fair play to Hull for turning out in numbers and being vocal throughout - if they hadn't anyone tuning in would have thought pre-season had started early.'"



The turnout showed two things a) the playoffs don't work b) a large majority of wire fans are newbie ST peeps who don't care if we win or lose. I lament and miss the the days of Wilderspool when at least we (as supporters) looked like we gave a fook if we won or lost and sang throughout. Like a morgue and FC made more noise than us.

CHALLENGE CUP WINNERS - 2009, 2010, 2012 17/10/1981 - John Player Trophy - Wilderspool Stadium Warrington 24 Fulham 15........and so my love affair began.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_24099.jpg



Quote: Wires71 "STs get enough effing perks. Some of them are very, very lazy gits who dont go the CC round games or playoff games yet they will be out in force on Monday for their Saints tickets.'"


The 'perks' are what some people get season tickets for. They invest larger sums of money at the start of the year so should be entitled to preference when it comes to cup or play off tickets etc. Including play off vouchers or money off play off games in season tickets may help to swell attendances. I've had my ST since the 1980's and think that I deserve to be give priority over a bandwagon jumper from the HJ times onwards who pick and choose their games.

I do hope you don't count me in that number. I prob met you at the 86 Final at Elland Road, the 89 at Main Road or the 91 at Leeds icon_biggrin.gif

In all seriousness IMO you are only good as your last game as a fan. I don't get a ST as I miss 4 home games a season and the money bit aint a big deal. I do get pi$$ed off if i watch 2 playoff games while STs sit at home and I'll not get a ticket for the Saints game only for them to come out in blue curly wigs and facepaint. 2 Playoff stubs should count equal.

It is not just "Wire" all the play off games have been poorly attended including our own home tie against Huddersfield. The RFL really need to look at it though because it is an embarrassment to the sport when 'Quarter finals' are poorly attended.
Daft stuff like the walk up prices need changing, why should a kids ticket go from £5 to £14.50 on the day it makes no sense and puts off those who don't know if they can make a game till the last minute.

Well played tonight, and a deserved win icon_sad.gif Good luck next week and hopefully in the final.

You are excused as you live 220 miles away. Those who live <= 10 miles are not.

I wouldn't call us all glory hunters . I ave had a season ticket for a lot of years the last 5 in the north stand
. I would of loved to come tonight but as I am disabled and a pensioner and no way (as much as I would love to be able to could I stand for a entire match as is the case of many round me) well the cost becomes prohibitive. I would love to stand in south stand and soak up the atmospher as I did many years ago. Alas as you will soon find time catches us all. If I am at O T you can say I was a glory hunter from the late 40s people have prioritys

You have moved me to action Sir. I'd like to think Warrington Wolves have facilities for disabled people so they can enjoy the game. I shall be writing to Mr Gatcliffe on your behalf. It should not be such that a true fan as yourself be denied entry to the game through disability and lack of funds.

I cannot for the life of me understand why the path to the ultimate season long goal (GF) is so appallingly supported by rugby league fans. We play all these weekly rounds from Feb to September in the hope of getting ourselves in to a position from which we could reach Old Trafford, and then all of a sudden, once we get down to the 'real' games at the end of the year, no er is interested. madness.

Yes money may be tight but I'm simply not having that as an excuse for some 7000 fans tonight who would have been waving their flags whilst we were ting Widnes in a meaningless game during the weekly rounds.

Not just us. The RFL need to seriously look at the concept as a whole and then at pricing.

I was embarrassed for us tonight.

Finances are tight for everyone at the minute and the cost of going to a playoff game is extortionate especially when there are some that dont really matter if you win or lose, the RFL have to have a serious look at the format and pricing.

However the main area that was empty is the season ticketed area which does ask the question why pay to watch the league games and not bother turn up at the business end of the season? everything they have payed to watch is effectively a build up to this? Excuses like expecting to lose dont wash even in the bad years where we narrowly avoided relegation wilderspool was packed and we sang and got behind OUR team yet when were successful were struggling to fill our stadium for the last home game of the season

LOL ABOVE WAS NOT THERE WHEN I STARTED WRITING LOL

You see I'm just not buying this money is tight lark. It's no different now to how it's been for years. The 'recession' gets a lot of media hype, but most of it is just that. Really most of it is just tight d fans. man utd best hope this recession doesn't strike in Manchester or they are gonna be ed.

Tonight was do or die. Clearly the fans voted for what they really wanted. They could have then come on here and started topics about Dunlop track suits in Premier Sports, or how Tony Smith has taken us as far as he can and needs replacing, or 'Same old Warrington'.

I'm really happy for you that finances aren't an issue but not everyone is that fortunate and to dismiss it as a reason is wrong. I didn't go last night or last week because of finances. I didn't go to Wembley this year for the same reason. I won't be going to the Grand Final this year - again for the same reason. I would love to be able to go to every game but when you grow up you will find that sometimes a car repair/ new fridge/ washing machine have to take priority on you hard earned cash.

Ever thought that some of those season ticket holders that left empty seats had moved to the South Stand?
