953.jpg 2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg |
|
| We had a disappointing crowd of 1800 (about 70% our league average). Should our wealthy neighbours worry when only 40% of their league average turn out for what was the last home game of the season for them.....just 6700 at the piedome. I think there was less than a thousand at Keighley also for there semi

| Said it before - crowds don't justify a four week series. Problems are that most of the games are midweek and at short notice.

| Most games that are not included in a season ticket seem to struggle to get the same crowds. Plus TV have an effect on attendances. I for one am glad we won't be on Sky next season, I won't miss Thursday night matches at all. Have to say the crowd at the piedome was a surprise. Maybe the pie eaters took it for granted they would win and are saving their cash for next week.

| I don't think that there will be many more when they play SAints if the rumblings are to be believed. People are not happy with the £25 and £19 for concession prices and they are the cheap seats.

Wigan have already shifted 2,200 of their 2,800 allocation in fairness - it's £20 behind the sticks (£3 more than the league game, as it happens).
Far too many games in far too short a period. Add in the fact that season ticket holders won't be used to paying out for so many games on the bounce and it's inevitable that crowds will suffer.

| Last four Wigan, Saints, Leeds, Warrington, no surprises there.
Top teams playing each too often, so apathy setting in.
Sky TV has too much say.
No relegation interest in super league.
Door closed for all clubs outside super league.
Too much preoccupation in trying to develop the game in non RL areas. Always doomed to failure.
No wonder crowds are on a downwards spiral.
Unless there is a fundamental change to the way in which our game operates then RL will ultimately rank alongside synchronised swimming in terms of being a minority sport.

| Well done the RFL - just waiting for them to say 2011 was the best season ever for SL, crowds are on the up again !!
HA HA
Pies crowd for their 'do or die game' v Catalans was about 50% of their average league crowd this season.

| The sport is dying, cheap season tickets now people won't pay to watch the biggest games of the season. Any lengthy RL fans amongst us take yourselves back to 1990/91 season the role of honour is below :-
Lancashire Cup
Yorkshire Cup
Regal Trophy
League champions
Challenge Cup Winners
Premiership Final winners
Oh and a 3 game test series for a full blooded Aussie test tour who also played the top 8 teams from the previous season.
The test matches were played at sell put venues Old Trafford, elland road and a great crowd at Wembley not to mention sell out crowds at the club v touring Aussies.
Most of the above got full media attention and personally I went to most of the above. It's the sort of season that got me fully in love with rugby league......, fast forward to 2011 and we have two events to try and get media coverage.
Oh and I forgot to Marion despite a 30 or even 40 season fixture list we came within a whisker of winning the ashes.
Oh well apparently all is rosy in the SL garden!!

| Top 8 out of 14 teams for play offs don't help. It was ok how it was before with top 6.
As for W1gan - it was a walk in the park in most peoples eyes it appears, and they was right.
Together with ST holders not willing to pay, which is the same in football especially if its a game that is expected to win too.
