Quote: Birkbygiant "It'll be a low turnout for the game by both clubs, akin to the Wigan game tonight, loads of empty seats.
There are too many clubs in the play off's and clearly the games do not bring the 'punters' in, we've seen it year after year. This week we get 2 games where it's not knock out, so really who cares. At half time Eddie and Stevo are saying will Catalans bother second half as they might want to save themselves for next weeks game!
It's about time the Superleague think about how they market this better, time for them to earn their corn, grow a pair and come up with a smarter end of season format, that brings the supporter in.'"
Not to mention the fact that it's not cheap to support a your club home and away every season so televising the games just gives fans another reason not to go. The last away game at Wire sent me into my overdraft for the first time in 10 years.
I wouldn't miss the Hull game for any amount of money but, having had to find the cash to renew my season ticket this month as well, it might have been prudent for the club to extend the seat renewal deadline a bit.
