Quote: jon_t "£25 is a lot of Money to me and its hard to justify £50 for me and my Wife and travelling after work from Warrington on a Thursday night , which means I may miss the start of the game, but my thought is its better to have 10000+ at the game than 6000+ and I think a lower price would encourage that on a regular basis.
I know its not 1917, and no longer get to too many games, as my life's changed since I used to go regularly, but I did do 20 years every game home and away in the dark years when week in week out we wondered if the club would survive, I did sponsored walks to other grounds to help save the club etc so im not just someone who pops on here to cause problems, I just have an opinion like the rest of you.
I think All SL Clubs should look at pricing in relation to the amount they get in crowds. The Higher the crowd ,the better the atmosphere, the more likely you will sell more merchandise ,drinks etc ,which then brings more revenue into clubs.
I see every week on TV clubs that once had near 20000 crowds scraping 7000 if they are lucky and full stands empty on TV, because teams decide to keep them closed ,to save money ,which makes the game look like its on its backside ,which in reality at the moment, I think it is.
New rules and the quality of refs is making the game boring, teams full of muscle men with the same moves every game, wingers the size of prop forwards ,makes for a one dimensional game ,where its 4 runs up the middle and a kick which more times than not goes straight to the opposite full back or winger.
The games rules need to be made simpler to help the refs, and players need to be given more free reign by the coaches to do their own thing and put more flare into the game. In most teams I can almost tell you who is going to take the ball after the next tackle, as teams are so regimented ,Warrington comes to mind . That's why Castleford are top of the league as they are playing exciting off the cuff rugby like Leigh did in the lower division in the last few years and makes for a more exciting team and game and less penalties.
sorry for the long answer but that's how I see the game at the moment.
Cheers John'"
But cutting the price from £25 to £20 or even £15 wouldn't really add many more people to the gate though.
looking forward to it come on you leythers
