we dropped prices last season and ken davy still wasnt happy with the average crowd and no where near where he wanted to be at.

forgot to mention also so world cup is HUGH for super league this year and us.. of the country grabs hold of it gets big viewing figures it could introduce a whole new generation to rugby league and huddersfield, crabtree should be playing and he could become an even bigger icon for us

I meant on the day prices - there were a lot of unhappy people last year who didnt renew their season tickets based on what happened - cant blame them - and its people like these and the casual floating fan who may fancy a game or two who cant afford the walk up prices.

Unfortunately we dropped prices last season, got crowds up then had a dog of a end to the season, and that's what people remembered

Coupled with a doubling of prices...yes prices had to go up, but given the results they maybe went up too much

I agree about tickets- twice I've had a spare ticket and haven't been able to give it away.
Don't agree about wire- after their CC win they got an extra 2000 - that nber extra would be great for us!
I also know of a few who haven't been this year following last years disappointment- one who's been watching longer than me! We need to sustain this good stsrt- get into the final rounds of CC - then I think people will start to drift back- a change in the weather won't go amiss to helping neither!

Yeah I know half a dozen folk who might come for the occasional game but baulk at the price, £21 buys a lot of alternate entertainment when the weather is rubbish...maybe with improving weather crowds will lift

Think your right there Code13, we've had an £8 hike on ticket prices in the 5 years since the recession started, thats obviously played its part as well as lack of success in pot form.

Nice to see the vitriolic comments from the green duster brigade.

Please feel free to send any freebies my way.

who and where.?

The town fans on the comments section of the page.

I don't see what the big fuss is. If the attendance is only down 20% then surely with the price increases this will actually see an increase in revenue for the club. Not bad considering the extremely poor value for money that fans got last season. If you want to sell a product then it needs to be up to standard, last season it wasn't so Did Mr Davy really expect anything else this season?

Pretty much sums it up

Brown should have been given the boot much sooner...

I will Durham- but it's often not till late in the day that we know we have a spare ticket.

see another who cant even give a ticket away to come watch the giants.

think we just have to go with what we have got...which will mean we are going to have to lower our expectations from the team and ken davy when players start leaving we cant complain

This. All day long.

Plus people tightening belts, if you've suddenly started forking out for an SL ticket, its going to be one of the first things you cut the year after. If we would have made the playoffs on the back of a decent 2nd half to the season then we would retained quite a few of the new fans, because there would have been optimism and hope for the season after. What did actually happen was that we were finally put out of our misery and left with despair and little promise of anything better.

I've a sneaky feeling and a hope also, that we can get in a final and win something this year, and its either that or at the very least another 2-3 years consistency thats going to get them back and nothing less unfortunately.
