I'm constantly thinking of reasons, probably like everybody else, why was the crowd so low against Catalans, how can it be prevented from happening again.
There are obvious reasons which we can all name, and the small, unpreventable, reasons, I.e. no away support.

But now that its Leeds, lets say we'll attract 14k, that means close to 1 in 2, wasn't here against Catalans.
All that's needed are a couple of survey collectors, asking a few questions to the ones that didn't turn up last time, i.e. too expensive? Working? Any other please specify.

They can then rectify the majority of the problem. But that's where my opinion is, I reckon the RFL will be too nervous about the outcome.

I hate people sometimes.

A lot will think "I'll save my cash, I'll go if we get to the final but if we lose, I haven't lost anything"... then (if we get to the final) they'll be there decked out in Cherry and White acting like superfans.

Probably straight on the website buying tickets at full time as well.

Pretty sure the main reason is financial, rather than the comp structure. CC games are straight knockout, and not all televised, but are also poorly attended.

We'll be there on Friday, just not buying a ticket in advance. Why should we pay an extra couple of quid "booking fee" when we can walk up on the night and get them for face value? If it looks like heading for a sellout, we may pre-buy, but otherwise we'll take whatever seats are still available on the night.

Been season ticket holders for years, but this year, circumstances dictated that we couldn't commit.

I'm sure there will be plenty others in similar situations, so I won't worry too much about sales of "only" 7k.

They'll probably get better seats too.

Fans choosing which games to attend shocker?
