I agree which is why I think them letting in kids from local junior sides in for free is a fantastic idea because:-
1) In the short term it might tempt paying parents to bring their kids to watch the real thing as it's more affordable
2) They're obviously already interested in the sport because they play, so letting them through the door for nowt to watch us over the Super League clubs might have them be loyal to us for the rest of their lives giving us a future fan base.
I don't think anyone is under any illusions that the new board and the staff at Cougar Park have got their work cut out to get attendance levels to be considered a club the size of Fax, Leigh, Widnes etc nevermind aspiring to Super League. If the can keep growing it as they have (up 23% last year) we'll get there eventually.
