Far too expensive, reflected across at Saint as well, 20 pound is all well and good maximizing proits at Headingley but its too much. While the RFL set the prices for these games I raised an eye-brow when it was mentioned that this would be the standard price next year too or our gate, I would suggest a re-think.

20 quid for Rugby League is certainly pushing it, I would like for us to see us at half the price, extra bodies in the ground and making up the shortfall on the extra funds you would generate in the per head spend a la Huddersfield.

Although we would probably need more lightbulbs in the loos.

i think you are all reading too much into last nights attendance, yes 4000 wasnt great but at our game at saints there was only at most 4500 saints fans, it looks like the play offs is suffering the same problems the cup is and that only time people seem interested are at the semi stage, for what its worth i cant see us getting many more next friday against catalans, maybe 5000 if we are lucky, do think the pricing policy for these matches needs looking at though, it always seems when the big games come around us the fans have to dig very deep, which at this moment in time is very difficult finacially for a lot of us, yes the die hard fans will do there best to get to the match, but the average floaters wont.

I agree it was a rip off. Up the prices because they know not many Catalan fans usually visit, but then we lose a decent amount of flipping home fans. Also, the sooner we are out of Belle Vue the better, if we don't relocate ASAP we will lose our firm place in SL. Would our crowd get into the average marker in the lower leagues

hmmmm.

Quite right but you can only generate that extra income if you have the facilities to enable you to do so. Thats were Belle Vue falls short.

and we are all fooling ourselves if we think we use someone elses ground we wil get to keep beer sales etc etc etc

barnsley and doncaster are no brainers for me, whats ther point??

sales pitch to new barnsley trin fans ???
hi were here for a year or two then we are going to move to further away than where you wernt bothered about coming previously???

While it may be ok for those in cars, for those who use public transport to get to games, the extra time for travelling, especially on a Sunday, would be a nightmare.

I'm sure Barnsley FC would love us there, just for the cash!

When we are talking about our poor crowds - going on with what somebody else said all the play off crowds are bad look at Wigan tonight

who don't? the fans? the ones who do turn up dont deserve to be in superleague because many 'fans' dont? strange logic !

The club.

Think it was partly a play-off quirk. Wigan only got over 8,000, and there looked to be a couple of thousand Cas fans there. So if you assume that Wigan only had 6,000 of there own there, we didn't do too badly, as there were only 20 Catalan fans there.

The Oakwell debate is a matter of timing alone. We can't move out of Belle Vue until Stanley is a definite. If Stanley falls through and we get a franchise out of Oakwell, then we have to stay there, and there is no longer a rugby club in Wakefield. If Stanley is a definite and work has started, then it might be an option just in case work is behind schedule.

On the other hand, if Stanley is under construction, I would rather see a few more games at the old lady of Belle Vue than go to Barnsley.

Wouldn't we also lose a franchise point as well at Oakwell for not filling 40% of the ground, plus the loss of the community stuff if our base is no longer in Wakefield?

surely the club and the fans are intrinsicly linked?
