..... and I'll be standing in the Hilton Park stand, yes that's right I've named the North Stand myself: |

We get little support coming here as it is so I don't think alienating the few that do make the trip is good business sense as I doubt it will bolster the home support unless we kicked off at say 5pm on a Saturday then people can combine it with a night out.
I admit it's better for some people but I stil think the majority would be happy with 3pm on a Sunday.

A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult”: |

| Quote: Alexs Dad "I disagree there.
The people who will get in for free will fall into 2 camps - those who come normally and pay on the gate, and those who would only come if its free.
If the latter will only come when its Widnes and free then they're of no use anyway and the efforts spent on getting kids/families in instead, whilst the former could lose the club up to £10k in gate receipts.
Hammering our cashflow against Widnes is financial suicide especially when we've next to no income for 2 months during summer.'"
I agree the widnes game should not be used as a massive discount game,the time to get them interested is building upto the next home game sheffield.As you say the widnes game is the one were the club should get a natural rise in attendance.
Its a pity we don't have regular home games now[sods law] but the club should not rely on away support ,any we get ,should just be counted as a bonus amount.
Maximise our home support first,like maurice said encourage schools with deals for the sheffield games whilst the time frame allows us and I think the family tickets are a golden oppertunity for the club to catch all the lapsed fans from previous years.
The let people in with season ticket holder really doesn't bring in any money

| The problem is with any offers is who pays for it?
Any discounts for the Sheffield game would have to be funded by the club or a sponsor, any for the Widnes TV game is funded by the Co-op.

Would they have a choice? Barrow play Sat evening.
Also, we had a 25% increase at the Batley game which was brilliant - what we don't know is what the crowd would have been on a traditional Sunday 3pm KO. Was the increase due to it being Bank Holiday or was it due to an evening KO or was it simply 'cos we are playing better?
I really think a Sat evening would be the best option (probably 6.30).

But also there’s something to be said about making your 'biggest' fixture even bigger.

| It's on a Thursday evening and should both teams remain in good form we should be looking at around 600 travelling to Leigh. If it were on a Sunday afternoon that would be a 1,000.

| Saturday evenings however - have a look down your street at the number of people who are indoors then as opposed to a Sunday afternoon.
Sunday afternoons presents far too many reasons why not to bother. Super Sunday on Sky, Christenings, Fathers Dad, sunny days out with the family etc, verses 80 minutes of RL is always going to be a problem especially for the floating fan.
Saturday evening as a start of a night out with either the family, mates, or the wife is a bobby dazzler.
There is a reason other clubs do it and it's not because they dont like watching Thex Factor.

| Not bothered either way myself but wasn't there a poll done a couple of years ago which resulted in the majority wanting Sun afts?
I'd prefer Fri night but thats a personal choice for weekends away.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| Changing the kick-off times and day mid season is defo not a goer, as I'm a season ticket holder and work Sat evening.
I would therefore want a refund and there would be one less plus my kids from the attendance.
