| Also re attendance look at the away fans who come, remember when North Stand used to be nearly full, Bradford, Leeds, Wire, Stains, Hull, not anymore, money is tight and at the moment it is a 3 game season, come on RFL sort it out. Get rid of Monday night Thursday night games. The league leaders should be straight to the GF, 2nd and 3rd play off for the other spot simple.

| Quote sergeant pepper="sergeant pepper"Sounds like Hampo is bang on with his comments.
It's down to some of the leeches/clubs we have in this league - i'm pointing a big fat finger directly at Huddersfield Giants when i say that as well.
Absolutely NO AMBITION in that outfit to be the best side in the world. They are more than happy to play a massive role in dragging down the development of youngsters and other truly large sides down to their level. The Giants finishing at the top our league after all the regular games of the season was quite frankly an utter embarrassment to the sport.'"
To be fair to Huddersfield they have improved their academy systems over the past few years. They beat Leeds and Saints at U19 level this year. Maybe they too have "seen the light"

| We win the grand final and I bet a lot if people will come back. After winning it in 2010, if I remember rightly, attendances went up.

I had a season ticket since 88 didnt bother this year as its boring now and id rather spend my time with my family as opposed to the gamebeing over by half time. However my high score on angry birds has taken a tumble as that was my second half entertainment most weeks.
Nothing to do with cant afford it as well im minted like you and also too hate the rest of the peasants!
Can i have a medal also?

At least they can't use the Thursday excuse for not getting a season ticket next year. No doubt the "can't afford it" one will come back out though.'"
What a fookin you are! No season ticket for me and the wife this year due to redundancy, or should I have made a St more of a priority than food on the table?
I now have a job, but still no ST next year due to working nights in this new role. I will be there Saturday if thats ok with tw@s like you as I don't work saturday nights.
More than happy to have a discussion with you F2F by the busby statue on Saturday, lets see if you have the guts to slag off the less fortunate then. Bring plenty of money.... Food in salford royal is rank but maccies is near by and I'm sure someone will go get you some.

Same things happening at most places. At Warrington the biggest drop in attendance is in the away end. Hasn't been anywhere near full all season, even for games against Stains, Widnes or yourselves. People just aren't travelling to away games in the numbers they did - Our (wire) travelling support is well down on the last few seasons. Two of the lads I normally travel with haven't been to any away games this season because of losing their jobs last year. I expect lower attendances are partly to do with stupid scheduling but mainly down to the simple fact money is tight.

Yes money is tight, but it hasn't affected football attendances as much.
Rugby League prices are pretty reasonable especially for kids/students/OAPs. I'd like to see concessions for the low-waged - but how the club would administer that I've no idea.
For me part of the problem is the way the competition has been devalued by the 8 team playoff. The league season now means nothing as Leeds proved winning from 5th and we will prove by winning from 4th. It makes games in July and August meaningless if you've already qualified. The Saints away game was a good example. No-one was really that bothered by the defeat at the time and it proved to be meaningless in the context of the season. At least the old playoff system guaranteed some benefit to coming 1st or 2nd.
So I blame the RFL and Sky for devaluing the league. However, that then doesn't explain why the playoff attendances are so poor. Getting 15,600 for Friday's game, the biggest home game of the season was a poor effort. There will be 30,000 Wigan followers at OT paying about twice as much.
