There used to be a bookies a way back, which became the tat shop, I think Is. The vape stall now.

In the south at least

maybe all the great footy on TV kept some of the big warrington fans away from the FIRST home game of the season.

Yep, football took priority for me.

I don't think that this is strictly correct.

I didn't stay, but, left the stadium by that corner and the 'guy with the music' was advertising cheaper prices, they certainly began with a £2. Perhaps it was £2 70, maybe a gesture for the first game or two to put it out there as an option, or perhaps it was a supporter with no authority looking after things whilst the real bloke in charge of pricing went to the loo?

I didn't stay as I had other plans anyway, they were really banging the music out loud when I left, surely it would be better to tone it down a bit so people can talk about the game...?

Maybe an idea would be to put re runs of previous games on there? Either classics or previous recordings of non sky matches as I know the club record all games....? You could announce in advance which game would be shown to try and build some interest.

I'm not sure I would have wanted to hang about in a cold stadium yesterday.
Maybe after a wigan/saints victory in warmer weather maybe I would stick around and savor the atmosphere. But it was baltic yesterday so it was a very brisk paced walk to the warmth of the pub....

I did actually ask him at the last fans forum regarding pricing and he did actually say it was going to stay at £3.70 as this was already a reduction from the last time prices were higher.

I'm not saying that you were mistaken or hadn't got it from the horses mouth, but, the chap did say two something as I walked by yesterday.

Decent crowd I was surprised on how small Hull KR's support was for thier 1st away game and it was a Sunday fixture.
I think the fans bar thing may take off a bit on a Sunday afternoon or Friday evening when the weather gets warmer, as has been already said it was freezing yesterday so people where bound to make a beeline for the pub at full time.
The Wakey game is a slight concern crowd wise, Friday's aren't everyone's first choice and I can't see a huge amount of travelling support.

Crowds are falling because the game isn't as entertaining as it used to be. It's all drive it in take the tackle quick play then the same again. When was the last time your saw a move or someone running an angle. Alex Murphy said last year it's getting boring.

They should have that band back on that they had in the Jack Fish stand before the Leigh Cup game, and on the pitch pre-match before the pies game.

What absolute nonsense

Sorry matey but if you can't spot the moves and angles you have a problem. The game is more complex now with so many dummy runners. Alex was a great player with so much pace.

Moves are more prevalent now and the game is more structured with everything stressed about retention and high percentage plays.

Where the game used to be more entertaining was is in the individual, off the cuff moments.

i think he been watching wigan on the tele
