Nobody is accepting that.

Every journey starts with that first step.

We have a great coach a good side playing attractive RL and excellent facilities.

There is a tipping point I feel and if we qualify for the NRC Final who knows ?

if we win the final more fans will come! them bandwaggon ones will return

For one game

Yes they are frank

TBH it's going to be very hard to attract more than 3000 fans in this league unless we spend a shed load of money advertising and reducing ticket prices (but it's something we can't afford to do)

No , that isn't what you do , but either way if you accept we will never draw any more fans then we are a Championship/1 club and will remain so forever

ok, how would you increase the gates? a decent priced family ticket? or would you use the 'skull dragging' technique?

Do you own a car ?

Did you buy it without driving it , or one like it first ?

How many people in the borough [ pop around 60,000 ] have never set foot inside the LSV ?

2006 NRC Cup Final when we absolutely battered the biggest club in the world - unexpected was not the word because the fans didn't back us that day in numbers. It was live on telly of course and looked great on TV. the week after same old crowd turned up against our bitter rivals Haven (a crowd puller in itself you would think). We played worse game ever that day but the punters wasn't to know that had they turned up.
Perfect example of our fickle fan base at the moment. Bread and butter crowds (weekly rounds of league games) are what is important not one off games that may not happen to be used as examples. Our weekly averages are not good enough now, and they was not good enough before "the draw bridge was lifted" either.
The fact we are expected to beat Dewsbury by the stayaways sums it up when trying to convince them to go and support us to get to the final. We don't have a given right to beat Dewsbury, just like we have found out so many times in recent past against similar opposition.

Yeah i do own a car and i drove one similar, before burning a big hole in my pocket! But how would you persuade or sell a ticket to somebody at random walking through the town centre?

and probably about 55 thousand of them if not more, it annoyed me 1 day last week when we were in a taxi (to break the ice i talk about rugby) taxi driver said, were do they play..........i wanted to slap him round the face

You have just answered the question

how would you personally persuade the other 55 thousand then? would you target the younger generation

The kids are the future.
All ages too from High School down, then the students at the college.

We live in a much more dynamic world now. When I was a kid there was nothing else to do on a Saturday afternoon in Winter than go and watch Leigh. No TV to speak of and no computer games. We couldn't go anywhere we couldn't walk to so any other sporting event Man U or Bolton W etc. was out of the question. Now kids get driven everywhere, so for kids to go to Saints or Wigan is no more difficult than it is for them to get to the LSV. The only possible weapon we have is proce. If we can entice kids in with their parents cheap, it might just swing it. It's too late now for many of tyhe old fans to come back. To many have lost interest completely and are disillusioned by RL in general. Although they still watch SL in the pub.

So who goes into the schools? is it duffy and the community department?

we should send the like of RHP into school to do some of the talks and coaching (high schools more) Parents allow them to go with their mates and all that!

What about if the school can sell more than 50 season tickets, they get a free signed leyth shirt from this year or a coaching day for their P.E department
