The money from all play-off games and the Grand Final go to SLE (with a % taken out for hostng the game). People can complain about the format and the ticket prices but getting full grounds isn't actually the objective, strange as it sounds. This is quite literallly the business end of the season, the viewing figures are more important than the attendance, though that still makes a nice profit.

Warringtons last game probably netted circa £150k, but probably had around 220-240k people watching on Sky. It's the same reason why Magic Weekend is deemed such a sucess, some fans love it, some hate it, but enough turn up to watch it. More importantly, lots of people tune in to watch it, the broadcaster (and the game) can dominate the channel for two days at minimum cost.

The ideal would be massive attendances and huge viewing figures, but invariably you can't have both.

Leeds had nearly 4000 there last night and about 3500 the for the league game a couple of weeks back. For whatever reason the huddersfield fans stayed away in large numbers and there's no doubt handed us the initiative. When the leeds team ran out the players looked over and started applauding the away support, the huddersfield players probably felt like sh**e and responded accordingly for the first half hour. The huddersfield team deserve better support than what they get.

Well firstly the league has already been decided so many fans will have lost interest in the end of season playoff tournament, also this year it clashes with the World Cup so maybe people's attention is on that rather than going to watch the 'greatest game'.

Wait for it...

What do you mean? Surely their agenda is to get people in the ground, shouldn't our agenda should be the same?

Stick an extra £20 on season ticket prices which gets you in the PO games, if we don't get there, PO vouchers can be used as a £20 discount on renewal season tickets or the new seasons shirt.

Never had this problem when we were crap playing in a dump with no atmosphere.

Give me today's "problems" every year.

Similar problem for me. Last Friday cost me £18 for a ticket, £48 for petrol, add in the essentials (beer) and it's an expensive weekend. I can understand season ticket holders not going to all the play-off games because of the additional expense, but in our case next Friday is the most important game that we've had for years, so I would expect a sellout.

This.

Deary me
and the Worriers have the cheek to have a pop at OUR ground having empty spaces

they was bursting out the dw today all 6790 of them

What was our lowest attendance at home this year?

9,958 against castleford.

They should move to Orrell clearly The DW is too big for them.
