There is nothing the club can do on its own to get fans through the gate. It all comes from the top the rfl, call me out of date, I saw my first game in 1954. Uncontested scrums, has the ball played the man, holding the ball with one hand who wants it, opposition takes it off him a penalty. No promotion relegation all reasons why people have stopped coming. Players like Palisena were a joke 10 min wonders then puffing and blowing for 30 mins. last Friday was a classic example of why I'm considering packing it in, not the the fact we were well down at half time, but the game and the rules we now play to. Those in blind folds may say the games on the up, it's dying on its feet. Chap at work went to Newcastle last weekend for a stag do, they couldn't watch a game anywhere. If this is how those in charge want the game to be played, then let them get their supporters in, its not mine.

Mr lobby,very true words

Our game as changed for the worse over the years

The rules get tinkered with every year we have no identidy anymore


Back to what tipster ste asked.....if the club is 40k short on current attendances are they not halfway there with lisa 15k and touchdown 5k making it a 20k shortfall.

Now a quick reckoning by me means over the next 28 weeks the club as to find 714.28p a week now split between 4 directors[do we have 4? it works at £178.57 a week per director

Stick a pound on entrance that should sort it keith

2

Nows the chance for them to get more borad members,tell them they have to invest £200 a week and get a nice shiny jacket and a pon of lobby thrown in jobs a good un

At Warrington we have a 'friend for a fiver' voucher in our season ticket book which can be used at the games which normally attract smaller crowds, worth a try?

I'd go for this if the club had a 1000+ season ticket holders

If that was suggested at the LSV , the SMC would kick up a fuss about not knowing which match they might turn up for , it was the same with my book of tickets idea , " What if they all turned up at 1 match ? " , yes , disaster we'd have 5,000 in the ground

, cant be having that , the place would look untidy

There is nothing to play for, that is the reason for low crowds and no matter what you do they are not going to get any higher. Don't blame the club, blame the idiots running this game. 2015 is a watershed for this game. If they don't reinstate P&R, which I fear they won't, then the Championship is dead and it will become the reserve league for SL clubs. Any youngster in the Leigh area wanting to watch RL will be watching Wigan, Wire or Saints. This has always been their agenda, unfortunately there are only a handful of clubs in the Championship who voice their concerns, the rest follow like lambs to the slaughter.

While you are correct to a degree Graham , it is pointless worrying about things you have no control over , all you can do is do your best to expoit what you do have some control over , I'm sure at some point in your business life you were in a similar position , did you give up , or did you find the solution ?

We have to exchange the voucher 24 hours before the game, though tbh I can't see it being possible. I was on the phone to the marketing bloke from Hull FC a few weeks ago (long story) and he was saying that because the KC is owned by the SMC they are very limited in the types of offers they can run.

I suggested a very similar idea to the club 3 years ago
