| Quote: WARRIORCRAIG "Atmosphere doesn't pay either ours or Crusaders' wages, that's why. Nothing to do with feeling superior, but 4k at a tenner each is better than 8k paying nothing.
Soemthing has to be done to get these figures higher, though, I am in complete agreement with that. RL fans don't seem to like paying out again once they've purchased their ST, which is why we see poor crowds across the board in the early rounds of both the cup and the playoffs.'"
Or havn't the money spare to pay out for one sided practise games |

Was in two minds whether to go, tickets , petrol, golden gamble, programme, food, drink etc must have been £35 for 2 of us, will be £60 this Sunday, if last Sunday's tickets were not discounted I doubt whether we would have gone.
Thought the players were very professional with their performance, but still came away with a bit of an empty feeling, not sure if there is an answer.

For me, the only answer is to make the games more competitive. No one's going to pay over the odds to watch a walk over. The only real shock of the round was Fev and shocks like this only come around once in a blue moon nowadays. I don't think there was a single person in that ground yesterday (the Crusaders fans included) that thought the result wouldn't be a Wigan win by 60+ points.
The gulf in class was truly astounding. It was men v boys for 80 minutes.

Fine in theory, but how do you propose to do that? The lower division clubs have to come up against a top club at some point. |

Its what the cup is for so that lower division clubs can dream of playing the big teams. Look at some of the shocks that have happened in the past even with amateur teams beating lower division teams.I also dont think £10 was over the odds or £15 full price |

That's what I mean. I don't think clubs pay enough attention to the little touches that can make a big difference. I always think when I see cricket grounds in warm places with those grass banks and picnic blankets that it looks well worth going. Not that we'd get far with that particular method in England! ... but you know what I mean. Cheerleaders and stuff are fine for what they are, but they're not the kind of thing that make people go to the game. Never underestimate the subconscious power of good food and drink! Put it another way - imagine if beer was banned - attendances would fall as a result.
