I respect what your saying,but its more than just 80 mins Rugby these days. Pre match entertainment,events never mind extra security all come at a cost.

i know what your saying,i pesonally dont get it.pre match not really interested myself.if you go to the cinema the price is the same if the film last 90 mins or 180 mins.when skyfall came out people were queing outside for days,the price stayed the same.we have now played three prestige or whatever you call them games and none have been anywhere near a sell out,and i doubt wigan will be either.there are reasons people stay away,the club should be interested in finding out why.i would love watching my team in front of a packed lsv. up the comics.

Hi Ste hope your well, i think that the example you have given isn't the best one to pick, simply because for many years Salford have struggled to attract regular big/decent crowds. People used to say "Salford is football and not Rugby" and that was at the Willows. Now i'm led to believe no Salford fan could walk to the ground, but i do agree that the sport in the main seems to be on a decline regarding numbers attending matches. Personally i think the scheduling of the games and then re-scheduling of said games has more to do with the decline than the price.

sorry I must be missing your point, wasn't the OP about expensive tickets on a Thursday night?
The Salford v Wakey game was £10 a ticket and played on a Sunday....

good points,i went to the game.its a good stadium,they have a good team who are playing well.at £25 a seat & £5 car park its not cheap.i work in salford and people who used to go to the willows say its hard to get too,and its too pricey.worryingly i did not see many kids,so it dont look good for the future.

& Jon_t, apologies, I was in a flippant mood rather than trying to be rude, much of what you say is true, however cutting the ticket prices would not IMO result in massive increases in attendance.'"
No Worries Pal ,I am just losing heart with the game at the moment, seen the situation we are in all too often at Leigh ,High hopes early in the season turning to disappointment towards the end .I just hope we are not the team in that Million Pound game if its at HKR ,as I can see them coming straight back up at the cost of one of the bottom 4 in Super League and at the moment ,if we don't sort things it could be us . Too many of the players that were going to give us Sl success have spent most of the season sat in the stands My Sister will be there tomorrow she goes to every game ,every year with others from the family ,so I will be represented if I can't make it

Either of those three teams would beat Wire at present. Still a few twists and turns left before the 8's.
Sixteen players I recall out for one reason or another last season at one point.Wasn't the case come the 8's.

Spot on, think we learned a lot of lessons from the season previous where we burned out - see a similar pattern this season

That's a good enough reason for you to be where you are, when Hull KR knocked you out of the cup like them you were suffering from injuries but maybe their injured players' were not as influential as yours were, if you can get most of your players back in time for the middle 8s' then there's no reason why you should be worried about any of the championship clubs or the other 3 SL for that matter.

Same Hull KR that beat us at LSV. Also, we also narrowly beat Bradford at summer bash last year.
