Northernbloke. Do you not think that Broncos SL attendance figures are not affected by the number of away fans attending our games.
I will accept our home fanbase has never been massive, but our away fan numbers have I believed declined for may reasons.
The close proximity of the Super League teams in the North makes away fans attendance to games easy within the Yorkshire or Lancashire groupings.
Inflating crowd numbers, these insular fans can watch an away game and be home in time to take the whippet out for a walk.
Sure St Helens to Hull KR is a bit of a stretch, but it is all Motorway between the two. An easyish day out.
Fans used to come away to London games and make a weekend of it. Now Catalan is seen as a better option which is quite understandable.
Catalan is possibly a cheaper weekend than a London weekend in truth.
Home fans is London Broncos problem for sure. Not enough of them and the club also does its very best at times, to pee off some of those that they still have.

We will attend some games but not all. We are going to hold off on membership at least until Bradford game and make a decision then on what we do this year, We will probably attend bradford game (if allowed), but not with my dad as want to take a view of the public transport trip as can't park there.

I think tbh we won't bother with membership and pick games we attend (25 for ticket + 20 for train / bus dad would be 18 ticket). I can see us going to bradford, halifax, tolouse,york,widnes games at max (not going to fev game if on public transport, they have a lot of great fans, but they also have an undercurrent of supporters which I would not like to be stuck on a bus with).

Now if it was 15 or 20 a ticket, I might have been persuaded to go to games like Oldham, Worky, Batly etc but not for 25GBP + travel costs....

Will know better after Bradford game

One thing that might have made a season ticket attractive this year was retaining your current seat(s).

Can’t if not at trailfinders

Well exactly, we won't be at Trailfinders.

I'm hopeful to catch a couple of home games this season and maybe squeeze in an away trip. there again if the streaming takes off and isn't excessively crap I may just sit on my fat round butt and enjoy more beer at home, lol. Bookies have us 4th to 6th they say, but quite frankly I'm looking at the Championship and can see almost anyone winning it and almost anyone going to League 1, lmao!

Bosty not sure what the point is. Sorry i got the numbers wrong its actually 3400 and a bit. Catalans are about 8300. Crusaders al be it only over 3 seasons sit at about 3900.
All i was doing was highlighting the figures

The point being made (quite rightly) is that our SL attendances are more influenced by away fans than other clubs. We used to be seen as a good away trip (perhaps when the club made more of an effort to have a matchday experience). So not only has the home fan base steadily dwindled but the travelling fan is now showing up in fewer numbers.

You are absolutely right jbuzza.

Brentford season ticket works out at 17 quid a game so it isn't that bad.
Unfortunately due to Wimbledon being just short of 2 hours away it's game over for me as well.
It's wests warriors for the moment now.

I'm really excited for this year my dad bought me the adult half membership.
living here in Ireland it will be great to watch the games on our League. Even if it is just a two camera setup with with whoever doing commentary.
Far better for me then bias local radio. Apart from the time I was listening to us vs Cas.
Luke Dorn intercepted a pass Cas commentator "he's a poacher he's poached it that commentator was good craic. Dorny even got a chant off it which for us lot is unheard of.

The crowds have been shocking for us for the rugby we've played the last 3 years has been brilliant.
On a budget and mostly in the champ but the games in general were never boring.

I do feel sorry for those that traveling to Wimbledon just doesn't work. But new plough lane does feel like a good move.
Plus it'll be great to see the lads back on grass.

The challenges for this season are big the budget being slashed. Young fresh team but Danny and Jamie's recruitment has been pretty faultless.

So in them I trust

I hope that it all works out as well. Right now until we actually make the trip once we don't really know if its dooable or not, hence we will wait until after Bradford game and make a decision then.

However I think its very unlikely we will go full membership, but if the journey turns out not to be that bad we might go for teh 1/2 membership option...

We stil supporting the club where we can, even if we dont go for a membership this year, I've bought the away and academy tops, to go with the home ones we get from the club, and my brother also has got the academy one.
