| If they made the ticket prices 10 quid for adults and 5 for Concessions for this game tonight there would be 14,000 plus

My husband just said the same if it’s anymore than that it’d be a shock to be honest

And take less money than they're getting now
And set the expectation that attending a match is only £10

Yep, I remember that period. We didn't know if we were coming or going.....the players must have received 'shell shock'.

A schoolboys final at Central park years ago drew over 16,000. I have a pic of it from back then . It was either the 1930's or 1940's period.
It was for the Daily Despatch shield.

| Firstly, I was one of the 5k last night. Thursday nights are horrible for attendances, no kids due to school the next day, match on Sky etc, and games where season ticket holders have to pay for are usually poorly attended. This is the first year where we have had to pay for play off games.
But the main factor I feel is general apathy with the game, not just at our place where the rugby has been very poor for the last half of the season, but across the league. Just watching the televised games isn't as entertaining as it used to be.
Out of interest, what are they charging at your place for the game tonight. Last night, Wire were giving £5 off for season ticket holders. So for us in the south stand it was £17 for adults, £11 concessions. But non-season tickets holders aren't going to pay £22 for that. Seating prices will be even higher.

| Felt good about our crowd tonight till it was announced as 9,200. If that’s right then we must’ve had less then 7,000 actually on the ground on a few occasions this year.

| About what you'd expect for a play off game unfortunately but what an atmosphere, by a country mile the best all year.
Cracking effort from the Salford fans.

Decent effort

| What about giving season ticket holders a voucher that gives them free entry to one playoff game? Tough for fans to pay out for match tickets 3/4 weeks consecutively.

If on average each adult paid £10 less and each child £5 less then we would possibly have brought in around 80/90k less
We would need to have had nearly 18/19,000 on at those prices just to be level with what we got tonight!
Yeah, great idea!

Horrible is correct mate, Cas sold 751 tickets which is magnificent the way we have been treated
We have had 3 home games switched to thursday nights this season and 6 away games. Its ridiculous to expect fans to keep coming over the pennines for these games.

So we would be around 200k down on receipts tonight.
Hows that going to work?
How does that make things better?
Hiw does that incentivise people to spend money on tickets further down the line when you've basically give them something for free and then ask them to pay £20/25 week after or 2 weeks later.
Here's a novel idea, let's get more people in paying the same amount of money.
