With all the uncertainty over if/when people could attend games, It's no wonder that S/T sales are down and with our current form, selling just short of 4000 tickets to home fans is quite a big ask.
In normal times, there are only around 4000 home fans.
I wonder how many KR fans will have found a way to get hold of tickets ?

| It is massively frustrating. Personally I have been desperate to get back into the ground to watch matches. I don't have a ST as I do struggle to get to all of the games but I was in the queue at the Ridings shop on Saturday morning at 8.45 ready for them to open so I could get a ticket and do my bit to support the team.
So many folk moaning about the performances and the quality of the team but not willing to back the club with buying a ticket and helping us get some much needed funds.
I understand that people are not happy but staying away is going to make things worse, not better. Replacing the coach only helps if we have a team left to support, and not going to games is going to put the future in jeopardy.
Do your bit as a supporter and get behind whatever team we put out. Actually I think we're not far away from a win and the vocal support that we can give might just make the difference.
If you haven't got a ticket yet, but can do so, then do it. The club needs your support, the players need your support.

| Bump into many an old wakey fan on my travels and get told the same old answer when I asked if they are still watching the game ,and that is that they gave up watching . You only have to look around on the terraces and you don’t see the regular faces anymore that stood in the same spot for years. I personally used to take a boat load in my mini bus to games home and away and now there is my son, grandson and me ,even the wife who has been going for over 20 years can find other things to do . They nearly all sight poor performances for their lack of interest and cost of watching . The only way to arrest this sad demise it to get a winning team on the park , people don’t want to watch a team of tryer’s losing all the time . Get the product right on the field and people will come back it’s not rocket science it’s that simple . I’ll keep going but lots won’t and aren’t as you can tell by the tickets left . Make any excuses you want about the ground ,social media ,for lack of footfall but get a team that can win more than they lose and people will come .

Chicken and Egg though isn't it?
How do we fund a better team that has more chance of winning? By getting fans through the gates
How do we get more fans through the gates? By winning more matches
I get that it's a tough sell, but those regular fans that are deciding not to go are only making the situation worse

If they could get hold of tickets it could be entirely possible.

The product gets worse year on year, we don’t produce world class players to create interest at an international level and there are too many one sided games. People have got interest outside of the game and this shows by falling crowds and the level of people playing the game at amateur level falling. Cumbria as a game on its backside, Hull area struggling, Wakefield area struggling this creates not enough good quality players to go round to create an intense, exciting competition

| Obviously not with covid, but for a lot of people over the last 5-10 years it comes down to, am I being entertained and getting value for money, compared to the cinema, theatre, a meal out etc. A lot of people just can't afford to do multiple activities can they, so something has to give. I know quite a few who used to stand near us, at least 10-15 who haven't bothered in the last 5 years say, which is a shame 'cause they missed out on 2017&'18, which were 2 of the most enjoyable and entertaining seasons in the 30 odd years I've been watching. I can honestly say though last season and so far this, no matter the ability levels of the players who take to the field, the entertainment value is not very good is it? We are boring to watch, it's predictable and tedious, and eventually people vote with their feet.........I changed jobs 2 years ago, and now have to work flexible hours, so can't always make games depending when they are played, so haven't got a season ticket for the first times in God knows how long.
