You not got a ST this year meast?

I might be in a minority but I'd be fine if they dropped match day prices for certain games - if it puts bums on seats

Take the Bulls v Leeds derbies, they got massive crowds on the back of massive publicity, super cheap tickets and more importantly aggressive marketing - like actually going into local workplaces and direct selling...

Say in the buildup to the home game v Leeds or Saints having the marketing team (academy squad, fringe players etc) going into each shop & office inside the ring road to offer tickets for a fiver or tenner or set up a stall in Kingsgate to sell them at cut down price to passing shoppers

Then all we need is the team not to mess up like they usually do in these situations lol

Then again, this might be the times that we are limited due to resources :/



Fwiw if we'd have won at Wembley I am sure we'd be on the 10k mark now.

i think the major thing is prices, £24 to watch the big games yes ok can put up with that but to watch games like london widnes salford they should be lowered as there not plum matches and in recent years have just been walk overs

Yes, if we had have won at Wembley we would have avegered 10,000 - we were regularly getting 8,000 + and the cup win would have done it i think.

This is exactly the sort of thing that should and could be done to sell the Giants. It should also be linked in with volunteers leafletting and promoting the club and inviting NEW people to the club to spend money rather than just trying to get extra money of the committed supporters who already spend a lot.

I hope that the players are using the lower crowds as a source of motivation instead of letting it drain their enthusiasm. A bit of an up yours for the folk that have decided that they're not bothering as they think we'll fade after Easter.

It really is a pivotal time of year. I reckon if we maintain the form, keep winning and the sun comes out we may well see the numbers go up and perhaps the noise levels increase. I'm sure a small piece of all of us is waiting for us to start drifting!

If any spare tickets are knocking about, I know three season ticket holders from last season that can`t afford it this season and havn`t been to a match this season because they can`t afford it.
They would like to go but finances will not stretch.

I will bear that in mind if it happens again- it's been the day of the game when I've known there's a spare though.

Oi i asked first

no jools not got a ST.
i didn't used to get one as i had the kids at weekends,now i can't afford one.

i agree about the agressive marketing etc, it worked for bradford,although we detested them for it and still do loathe them for it,it got people talking and more importantly going to the bulls! they hadn't had much success until '97/98 but still got the crowds in and it helped to extend that success.
i feel this is one area we have failed in, lots of people know about the giants but how many actually talk about them? maybe the odd few people who know i'm a supporter but on the streets of town etc there is nothing.
my work is a good example,i can talk rugby and fartown with most of them,a lot of them have a passing interest and usually ask the score or mention it if they know it,but out of all these people only 2/3 have ever been to a game,one now comes fairly regularly with me, but apart from that there is little incentive for me to try and get people to come down.
maybe,just maybe some aggressive marketing,advertising around town could get people talking about the giants and that,along with good deals on tickets might just get them along.
it's no good really just charging £24 for a game when the only people who know about a game being on are the people who are fans or who are going to the game.
i suspect however,as we saw earlier on in the season that there could be a lot of resentment from season ticket holders who feel they have got a raw deal.
it's catch 22 really.

What is frustrating is being stopped on the way home and asked by passers by what the score was!

Clearly interest but it needs to be kindled
