2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg



2009 - 3 games on the Saturday - attendance 29000

2010 - 4 games on the Saturday - attendance 26000

I make that a drop of around 33%.

About as surprising a post from you as knowing Leeds would win the match in last minutes again. icon_surprised.gifops:

Anyone know what Ryan Hall said that Eddie apologized for ? Didn't catch it

Oh you flatcapper.

It will take just a bit longer and then we will see attendances improve.

I just wonder who came up with this idea not to mention franchising and 3 divisions ?

Its a free country, we all have our opinions and we are allowed to express them. All you have expressed are your views of me. What are your views on the reasons for the huge drop in interest. Ideas might look good on paper, but the proof of the pudding and all that.

Just imagine how much money Leeds have lost on this venture. They would have had 15000+ for this fixture instead they effectively had 6500.

Incidentally it was a question LL. Those figures suggest the fans have lost interest, therefore I think it could be classed as a flop.

Come on LL based on the evidence, do you think it is a flop or another success for Rugby League, simple question

I apologise I mistook the "icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif " as taking the P. In future when I see it I will know you are just expressing your own views and are not happy about it afterall. icon_wink.gif

If memory serves me right these fixtures are additional so Leeds wouldn't lose money on a lost fixture, and again (correct me if I'm wrong) the RFL get paid some money from the Edinburgh/Scottish tourist board for this event. If this arrangement doesn't happen anymore then not sure we should do it anyways.
As for reduction in crowd, lets wait until after tomorrow when the average or total can be compared. Though all sports are feeling the pinch at the moment.

Personally I have no respect for the RFL as there is no transparency, so yes I was laughing at the RFL. Your statement of clubs not losing money is, if you don't mind me saying, excellent spin which could almost have come from the RFL. Money from the tourist board?? have to say I wasn't aware of that. As for feeling the pinch...10% or even 20% could be put down to the recession, but 33%...even you have to admit that is a big drop in interest.

Tomorrows figures will I fear confirm the trend as there are only 3 games tomorrow. As a marker last year there were 4 games with an attendance of 30000. Lets hope the people of St Helens/Wigan/Cas/Huddersfield/Hull KR oh and Catalan turn out in force. If 33000 turn out for the games tomorrow then I will apologise on here to the RFL

Correct on both counts. I think the biggest scandal is that Ceefax has listed the Leeds game as Wakefield winning 30-28, so I've had the wrong score for the past 2 hours icon_biggrin.gifOH:

Don't they pay their players then for the extra game, and the Hotel bills for the players and officials of the club

Players would be paid anyway, would imagine the RFL assist with the accomodation and transport costs.

Think this will be the last magic weekend as we know it. Nothing's been planned for next year and some coaches are now questioning the reasons for having it.

You can always tell a smart ar$e but you can't tell em much.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_16267.jpg



Who gives a S*** anyway icon_confused.gif:

I can't believe the RFL get away with this if I played for a team who'd got a decent home form why would I want to play in a stadium thats a third full max FUBAR'ing your form, this could cause a down slope in your season.

Yet again this is my opinon, I wouldn't want to spend my hard earned cash on pleasing the ar5eholes in Red Hall icon_ass.gif
