| MC says after some decent meetings in the last week or so with WMDC the fight for Newmarket is as strong as ever,currently exploring how to raise around £10million which would be min. for ground to go ahead. The only thing stopping build is money,has planning permission is in place and has long been there. Trinity are currently exploring ways to raise the £10 million which would be sufficient to build a stadium with a 12.000 capacity to meet basic Super League standards. MC has also issued a rallying cry to fans to get down to watch Wakefield Trinity as average crowds need to be 6500 for new SL standards.

It is "Fifita" not "Fafita"
If you don't know the difference between "there", "their" and "they're" I might get annoyed.

| I think this average crowds needs to be 6,500 is a joke of a requirement. Do we really think that we can get 12 clubs in the entire world of European rugby league to meet this? Certainly currently struggle with us Salford and Huddersfield, probably Widnes too. How many of the Championship clubs could meet this criteria if they were in SL? Maybe Bradford but that is it.

RFL should look at themselves if there not happy with attendance across the board. Poor marketing, poor refereeing, debacles like Bradford, disciplinary inconsistencies, the state of the amateur game, and poor leadership.

| Well lets hope then that this happens.
How about regular bucket collections at games and maybe events in Cats bar to start with.
Yes, I too think the average crowds figure is a litle high. Last year I was keeping a weekly log of our crowd to work out the average. Cant remember exactly but by round 23, we werent far of 6000. It was the play off re areanged play off games that affected this.
My solution for that would be to review Thursday and Friday games.
About champoinship clubs hitting the mark, without bigging them up, Hull KR are averaging 7000+

| I don't understand the 6.5k crowd standard.
What happens if you don't?
What happens if you are on Sky on Thursday and that knocks your crowd down? What happens when you refuse the Thursday game?
It's a good target but not a standard.

What's not to understand about it, its like the covered seating figure its there for a reason !!!
That reason is, we do not meet it but other teams in the lower league do meet it. Hence its quite a simple way for the RFL to manipulate the league to have it consisting of their preferred clubs.
For instance if London were still in SL the 6500 would not be mentioned they would conjure up some other criteria we do not meet.

It does make you wonder, they bring in recommended crowd figures, put us on SKY, did someone mention 10 times this season, crowds are always down when the team or on TV. So 6,500 would be a tall order for us.

| From what MC has said, it's not a rule put in place by the RFL, more an agreement between the owners of the 12 super league teams

i think our average crowd last season was just under 4,900. MC says if regular punters could talk to a mate and get them to come down to match days rather than watching in the pub or at home on Sky, and also lapsed supporters to be cajoled into watching again,the figure of 6,500 is achievable.

I've been exploring how to raise 10 million quid for all of my adult life - hasn't happened yet.

I guess it's *slightly* easier to raise money when you're offering something in return such as community development (government investment) or marketing opportunities (business investment)

| It's dangerous though, because it encourages season ticket deals that become unsustainable, like at Bradford and us in the Glover years. They'll knock out cheap membership deals and incorporate all those people in the gate, whether they attend or not, and start including mass pre-match dances.
Initiatives to help away fans is a good start. How about a simple one: cross-Pennine games on Sundays only.

| Just wonder if Toronto had shifted 5k season tickets whether the figure that seems to have been plucked out of thin air would have been 5500?
