Quote: Trojan Horse "If you’re using the likes of Hull KR as a barometer then you should judge them on their return season and not this season. That’s very unfair.
In KRs first season return to SL I think they sold around 4000 I saw it reported recently. It’s taken a few years for them to double that with success on field.
If we get around 4000-4500 then I would consider that something to build on.
As a few posts rightly mentioned, we have a good number of walk ups who buy tickets on match days. The most important thing is that we improve upon the 5,500 or so average this year and show growth.
A lot of that and the singular most important thing this season will be on field results. We need to be somewhere within touching the playoffs or in it to really generate positive momentum for growth beyond 2025. I would also say the match day experience needs a bit of focus, more local bands, more of an event feel to match day.
KR wouldn’t have had the growth they had if they weren’t competing at the top end of the table.
Ellis will know that it will take a few years of investing before he sees a return of the same value.'"
One thing that is sure to help with attendances in SL is the increased number of away fans.
In the Championship, generally speaking, we saw relatively small numbers of away fans, with the exception of Fev and Bradford.
This will be massively different in the top flight, It maybe a little optimistic but, we should be targeting the 7500 figure.
IF we can become a club that is challenging for a play off spot, there is no reason why not.
