The biggest problem with RL outside SL

Also new stadia make it even worse with only 2 stands in use

What is needed is all the clubs to sit down together [ without any RFL presence ] and discuss how they are going to make the competitions they are playing in attractive to fans

A ' leap of faith ' is required by the clubs directors , if they dont have that in them then professional RL outside SL will wither and die

The idiotic response of a fool..............May I be so kind to point out that the LSV attendances are in actual fact everything to our future !!

Does anyone know if the free u11's ST's are included in the figure posted on sporting life? If so I would say it's rather worrying.

As it happens a regular member of our group made the decision that todays game did not warrant £14 especially in todays non P&R environment and stayed away, he did meet up with us all later on and the scoreline did actually support his judgement.

As Matt stated 1,300 is purely and simply not sustainable. A huge concern I am sure.

come on, its almost impossible to produce a bouncing atmosphere with less than 1500 of us in a 12600 stadium, with no away fans, in a one sided romp. I personally was not looking forward to today's game, as i hate predictable games, and today was one of those games, but the lads did their best to entertain us, and i for one was entertained, thought we played really well, and in the past we would of took our foot of the peddle, but not todsay they kept going and smashed the skolars, as all good teams should do when you have a team on the ropes, what ever the club did or did not do they would of been struggling to drag many more fans in today, so well done lads, and i hope they don't feel let down by us, because as a fan of 30 years i am sure i can think of shed loads of times i've been let down by my team.

I think people aren,t being realistic about todays turn out.

With respect to Skolars they aren,t the most crowd pulling of opponents for what most Leythers would expect to be a rather one sided game.

Its still a couple of hundred better than last time we played em. I think I,m right here, but maybe not, Corporate attendees aren,t included.

A few seasons ago the biggest club in the world (HKR who else) were attracting similar crowds for League games.

Provided the team play attractive rugby I for one think crowds will start to increase game on game. Even more so if we put a string of wins together.

Pray tell us oh knowledgable one how anyone on here can alter what has been, and what YOU have done to boost todays attendance - not that it matters one little bit as what has been has now gone, if people weren't as bothered about prematch boozing rituals and more concerned about really helping thier club then hey we may be a SL team in 3 years, now what was that about being a fool, but like the saying goes it takes one to know one

Their club put 70+ points on the scoreboard and people are still whining.

Who's whining?

Totally agree, also don't think folk are that ar$ed about the group stages of this comp......

Agreed and I don't think we'd have had so many on at HP.

I 100% agree. Thankfully then, I am somewhat reassured that I don't actually know you

Heres a better one....750 Adult ST's 400 freebies to u11's, another 400 concessions/12+'s equals more than the gate declared, so did anyone buy a match ticket ???? In which case what have we to lose.

I know lots who for one reason or other did not go yesterday but will be at the Haven game.

Why get concerned about a crowd for a match that means nothing in a competition that most do not like, if we only get less than 1500 when the league starts then you can worry.

The rugby played yesterday was excellent and so what a few passes went astray,you expect this when the lads tried to keep the ball alive, I'm sure they won't do the Harlem Globetrotters bit against better teams.

I enjoyed myself and been to Leigh games recently when the crowd has been 3 times bigger and hated the game, its whats in front of you that I'm concerned with not how many sit at the side of me.

Its a long haul and weekly analysis in detail of whats negative and positive are tedious , I for one think this messageboard is getting like a soap opera, the same old tripe week in week out.
