Rather glad I didn't spend £50+ and 4 hours on the train to watch that rubbish.

Huddersfield are a very good side. Chatting with their fans after the game, they believe that this year they will easily make the play-offs and I have to agree with them. Very big, but mobile pack and great handling by everyone on the park.
We were bad on Saturday, but I have to say, I think Huddersfield would have beaten most teams playing as well as they did.
As for Thaler...the man is an incompetent idiot. He marched Hudds down the pitch for their first 2 tries and although his stupidity didn't affect the outcome of the game, he really was terrible.
On the thorny issue of attendence, 2,500 is a disgrace and something has to be done NOW not later to sort this out. Regardless of where we are made to sit, we really need to be getting 4,000 HOME fans to every game. I think Thursday will see a sub 2,000 crowd

which, regardless of time and day, is disgusting, embarrasing and shows up the lack of activity in marketing the game. I don't care about community awards and coaching Kids, bums on seats are what is needed.
We are currently averaging 3,560 a game....down from 5,407 compared to the three games last year.
It is no longer acceptable for the club to keep saying everything is OK.....because it's not. As long as the management of the club refuse to spend any cash on above the line marketing, then we will struggle to fill even the one stand.
The club have had offers from me and other people who are far more experienced then me, to assist with the marketing of the game, but to no avail. Simple little thing, done properly and with enthusiasm and passion will get results, but I dispair at the patent lack of activity ABOVE THE LINE.

If its so embarrassing why do you bother? You cant compare the two sports. I find it amazing the amount of people on here that moan about our attendances but dont actually make the effort to come to what amounts to 13 or 14 home games A YEAR. You are the problem, not the marketing, uncomitted fans who claim to love RL but dont follow it up with the support that the club and the sport deserves and needs so much more than most. You just come on here and moan about niggly little problems and justify your dumb reasons for not coming to games.

With fans like these......

Get your head out of the sand. There was 1900 people there on Saturday.........FACT

Saturday was chosen by the club because it attracts the best attendances..........FACT

Comparative attendances on last years equivalents are 2000 down on last season .......FACT

Nothing has been done in the last 6 months to address this........FACT

No Super League club can survive on such dreadful crowds........ Suspect this is a FACT


As for me, this is not about me. Sadly I have yet to be able to come to a match this season even if I had wanted to, the first option for me is SUNDAY 17 May which I will attend. I DO NOT GO TO GAMES ANY LONGER BECAUSE I CAN'T !!!!! And it appears that I am not the only one unable or unwilling to go this season.

I live 60 miles from the ground and have travelled to most home games for the last 5 seasons, sorry that you blame the likes of me for the clubs plight. And I have to apologise for expecting the club to have marketed the sport, how could I possibly have blamed anyone other than me for that. My season tickets lapsed and nobody from the club has contacted me from that day to now. You may think that is OK but its pathetic.

I am also very worried that you see our crowd level as a 'niggly little problem'. You are just the sort of fan the club needs..........well done !!


You keep your head in the sand and keep that belief that the current direction doesn't need to change

The club should always aim for sat 3pm kick offs as they are the best for all. BUT playing at the same time as the weekend's major national sporting event is foolish.
None of this season's games have been played at a sensible day/time. This club has far too many lapsed fans and getting them to come back should be key.

Browny's cracking up, he's cracking up.

It is your choice to watch football.....

FACT



I guess I cracked at being told that the reason the crowds were poor was nothing to do with clubs marketing but actually all down to the likes of me who dare not to go any more. Biggest tripe I've read on here in 5 years

Are the crowds not a concern then ?

Absolutely, they are awful.

Crowds don't go up - clubs fault
Crowds go down - people who don't turn up's fault

How many quins games a year clash with your bl**dy soccer clubs home games? 4? 5? You could go to every Quins game AND 90% of your soccer games! You have no right to moan about attendances when you dont even make the effort to go to the games. Why cant all these fans that claim to love the game support the only fully pro-club in the south. 'I had to turn my back on the club'...'I cant be expected to go to every game when they clash with my soccer club'. If you're an RL fan and you love the game youd get yourself to Quins home games. End of. I go most of all cos i love watching top level RL.

I have no interest in the views of someone who openly admits that watching second-rate soccer is their priority.

I don't care about people having an interest in soccer, but bleating about how they can't go and watch RL because they want to watch soccer is a joke.
