After a very successful 5 years providing services to the Premium Rate telephone industry I can catagorically state that 75% of my clients revenues were received from areas that are referred to as CD1's. This social group are more likely to enter competitions and vote in polls using Premium Rate telephone lines, as it is a perception that they aren't actually handing over "cash" to do so. CD1 is the predominant social group in Wakefield.
Secondly, we have seen the massive impact that George Sampson had at the Stoop. Dance days (we've had 2 this year) DO NOT WORK IN TW2! Maybe Diversity aren't "heroes" to anyone, but neither are they of interest to your average sports fan. They might go down well at half time at a Basketaball match....but if they were on at half time at the Stoop, I think the bar would have more people in it than the stand.
Thirdly, as much as I would love to see the stoop full for a RL game, I would not be targeting any particular "class" of people. But I will point out that Twickenham and Richmond where we are based is a predominantly AB area......or put another way, Middle class and therefore an Urban Street Dance Group would be less appealing to the domographic of the people who live within 5 miles of our stadium.

Yes, I bang on and on and on and on and guess what, since I started banging on in 2003 and being ignored (for the most part), the club have managed to add "0" fans to our average gates.

I have never said I have the solution, but I tell you what....those people who have been paid over the 6 odd years to provide a solution have failed and as such, I will continue to bang on.
Sunday 2 weeks will be my last Home Game and as I have posted elsewhere, 9,000+ is needed to just achieve parity with last year. Somehow, I can't see more than 3,750 and that will include a fair few from Cas (average 3,567). Last year we managed 2,112..........brilliant!
Without wanting to sound Like Rupe1 or Stormer and I would never desert my team, I will say the club have provided a perfect example of how to f^ck up another opportunity this season.

I really don't think you can compare George Sampson to Diversity. I can't stand all those talent shows and really don't give two hoots about dancing but when someone showed me a clip of Diversity I was blown away - they are amazing and if they didn't attract a crowd to the Stoop then no affordable entertainment act ever would.

I agree Rupe1 not comparison at all between a group of tallentless chavs and a singular tallentless chav ..... it's your mention of hog roast as proper food where your argument falls down.

so, is the masterplan to have Diversity at every home match, because otherwise anyone who came specifically to see them once would be unlikely to go again. Perhaps we should play all our matches as double-headers with the union team, because on the one occasion it happened our official attendance was 12,500?

What like " Dont eat yellow snow "

You may be right on some points, but you're wrong about us losing our licence. Nice stadium, geographically good, good junior production line. We're ahead of Celtic, Salford and Wakey without pulling a crowd or winning a game.

I recall commenting on the fact that I thought there was a large proportion of kids at the game against Wakefield compared to some NRL games. I was informed by someone on here that it was because they had come to see this George Sampson fella.

apparently is cost us £18,000 for one dance
