Then why move to a SL stadium which we can't use for large parts of the season, which has a capacity over 12 times what our attendance is?

Maybe we should look to be in a much smaller stadium then, which costs a lot less, allowing us to have a better team maybe?

We don't know if those are, in reality, the only options. But if they are, Hughes will continue to bring those two things closer and closer together.

Crashmon not got a clue, I don't run the club, maybe it's something to do with future ambitions.

J buzza. Well let's enjoy the ride while we can

Probably an attempt to secure more grading points before understanding how they would be awarded. The criteria award 3 points for the stadium. Cherry Red should secure the 1.5 up for grabs for facilities which e.g. Trailfinders wouldn't have without some investment. However, not sure how they grade use for part of the season only so some points may be lost.

Anything we gained on facilities are likely to be lost on utilisation where we will struggle to acheive more than about 0.1 of the 1 point available since we are rattling around in a 9,200 capacity ground. We wouldn't have got the 0.25 point for prime tenancy anywhere but Cherry Red should give the 0.125 available for big screen. There is also 0.125 points available for LEDs but these need to be on 3 sides.

I can't do anything about it, so like I say I will turn up and enjoy the rugby, wherever it is.

Few things to cover off here.
Firstly. If there were 700 there and not my guesstimate of 500, why not announce the figures? It's not like IMG aren't aware of how few people bother.
Secondly, whilst it would seem that we are at least on par if not a tad better than 2022 attendance wise, it does seem that the larger gates at Ebbsfleet and the season opener are the only highlights.
As for Hughes and the continued demise of the club as a viable option for casual sports fans, the question must be asked AGAIN. why it is that we have failed to engage with the London sporting public who do seem to be willing to attend event games in huge numbers.
Then there are the CHAMPION WOMENS SIDE...who as far as I can see got a "well done" but not much else.
Hoists defeated the Warriors at rh weekend....any reason they couldn't have played prior to the Bulls game?
In 8 weeks or so the 2024 fixtures will be released.....and as I've said every year since 2002, plans should be put in place to leverage a theme for every game, but instead we will get new pricing with gold lounge offers, all of which will be obsolete by July when there'll be ticket bundles galore....
......and lastly. To those who can say "it's out of our control.....what can we do"?.......I'd say close to 4,000 fans have already done something under the current ownership....they've decided to go somewhere else!

Hoists game was a triple header, London origin, Harry jep trophy and SCL final.
As for 700, only giving you my thoughts on actual counting heads from actually being at the game.

The report of the game has said attendance was 1158. It’s either true or not but putting to one side the oddity of playing in a ground where 3 sides are closed, it felt pretty lively and a decent atmosphere.

Depends if they include ST holders or those who purchased the Tickets bundle who did not come to the game, but are still counted as they bought a ticket in advance

Thought there were only discount offering memberships this season so doubt those could be counted. Bundles included tickets for the game though so suspect they would be counted. Crowd was certainly more than 500. The 700 estimate feels about right to me but could have been more.
