| Quote Alfie Langer No2="Alfie Langer No2"True.
The way round this would be ST holders swap their voucher for a match ticket and for each match ticket sold/swapped, the ticket price is forwarded to the RFL. Your club would therefore act as a bank holding the cash in advance and paying it when required to the RFL. Any ST holders who don't swap vouchers for a match ticket for whatever reason, say they cannot attend, are entitled to a discount in the store by a certain date. If not used by say for example, new year, this value is lost to the ST holder.

Dont buy this idea. Clubs could be worse off by getting into the playoffs. Season ticket holders are already gambling in advance the season isnt a washout and aint gonna wanna pay even more for the bank idea.
The only sensible solution is to make the playoff games worth paying to watch

No clubs will be out of pocket due to the money taken in advance and only paying out to the RFL on who takes up on the incentive but I take your point. You can make all the offers, incentives, etc in the world but if the product is crap, people just won't buy it. |

What was so special about the Hull turn out? We've taken more to their place the last two seasons for league fixtures.

| Quote berro's best mate="berro's best mate"well said, the fact that a team that was proberbly going to get beat and still took 2500 to an away game 3 hours away shows how big fc are, a sleeping giant, one of which looks like there on the way up after afew years in the doldrums...
the overall attendance from wire was little short of embarrasing to be fair, for a team who have won the cc this year and are a favourite to win the gf it pains me to see the state of rl at the minute, granted £26 on the door is an utter scandel and one in which the great club of warrington need to address pronto...
big team, yes, big club- no im afraid...until the mentality of certain glory hunters changes, that will always be the case....'"
We got 2000 more than you in week one though. Plus three hours isn't that long a journey, run-of-the-mill for a football fan. |

We have. And we take 4000-4500 to Wigan every single year. Plus 7000 to Saleford for the CC semi-final and then 25000 to Wembley for the CC final literally last month...and they're getting giddy about 2500 as their biggest away following since the Grand Final they were in six years ago. |

You brought about 1200 to the KC in Feb, so less than half than what we brought to your place on Saturday. Also Wigan is about a 15 minute drive for you, our closest game (barring KR) is 1 hour away (Cas) FWIW we took over 4000 there this year, 3000 to Wakey, 2500 to Hudds, 2000 to Salford...you get my drift. Well done on your big turnouts at Wigan n Saints though, games you could probably bike too. |

I'm sorry but that is so wrong it's laughable. |

Got to be fair to Hull, wasn't that 2000 just the difference between the amount of away fans that attended each fixture. Plus if the tables were turned, which week 1 play-off fixture do you think would have got the biggest crowd - Hull FC v Hull KR or Warrington v Huddersfield?

That was because 2500 of the drum-banging 'Barmy Army' went to Sydney for the Wire - Souths game a week earlier, and half of them were still making their way back from Australia. Call 3 hours a long trip, try 22. |

I didnt say it was a bad turnout, far from it, just pointing out that you didnt bring more than 2500 to Hull for the league game as one poster seemed to believe. |

The problem with this playoff format for me is most fans( in the top 4) will budget to attend week 1, 3 and the grand final. Also Week 2 does not appeal as much as they are expected to win so people don't mind missing out. Personally i have ran out of holidays at work so have to rely on shift swaps which i thought was unfair to try 3 weeks in a row so i missed out against Hull.
