Great win yesterday and a great turnout from our "friends" in Leeds.
However, the Trinity support although great, is still well down on last season and prior to that.

For those who'd had enough of Chester and stopped going, what will it take for you to come back.
Certainly the 4 games under Poaching have been a breath of fresh air and some decent games.

The wins against Wire, KR and Leeds are worthy of some more support.

Come on Trin fans, let's be having you !

I think it's expensive at £25 a ticket and no junior tickets on line.
Its a bit too late to be thinking of offers with only one home game left, but the club should consider a number of offers for next season.

Yes, I suppose everything now has to be towards next season.
Have to say ,I didn't know that you cant buy junior tickets on line. Certainly something that needs looking at.
The £25 is a tough high but with all that's been going on, it's just great to have some quality live sport to watch.

I think the officiating and constant rule changes have had a big effect. Six again needs to gonASAP.

This. The reason fans are staying away is nothing to do (majority) with Chester and never was. It’s 2 reasons:

1. Pandemic wiped the habit off people’s agenda for 16 months. In which people were forced to find other things to spend £100-300 a month on. People have simply found other things to do and fallen out of the habit.

2. Rule changes six again, scrap scrum and strip. All brought in to speed up but it makes the game messy and highly difficult to enforce for officials consistently. It’s boring and autonomous. Drained most off the cuff play/set loves away.

Getting fans back will be a slog.

I think the basic problem now is fear of Covid because all we have heard for over 12 months are details of the number of deaths and those contracting the illness. With many of the Wakefield support I would guess being over 40 they have had to endure nothing but warnings about the impact and how it is best to social distance coupled with the further complications of mingling with the unvaccinated.

A winning run will definitely help.

No question that many, many folk are nervous about getting out and about again but, in terms of dropping crowd numbers, football and the recent 100 cricket dont seem to be as affected as RL.
Maybe this is partly because we are almost at the end of the season and people have got used to doing other things, plus, the ever changing days that the games are played doesn't help.

However, if we had the proverbial magic wand, what would get people back for the Hull game and then to return next season ?

I know that as fans, we've really had to endure some rubbish on the field and our numbers were already on the slide prior to covid but, a new era, new coach and some positive results and who knows, maybe something happening with the ground , there ARE reasons to be positive about the future.

They nearly lost out on me and my son coming yesterday. He doesn't normally come but asked if he could and then I couldn't buy tickets online. Only adults and concessions online.
Fortunately I found out that I could buy a junior ticket on the day so we both came, but it nearly cost them my attendance. I'm guessing there are/were other people in the same boat

You can bet your life on it Fordy. I'm not the best at on line stuff and generally prefer to do things in person.
I couldn't find junior tickets so asked my daughter to check.
When I looked on the Leeds ticket site you could buy junior tickets.

The good news is that the boxes and corporate were sold out, this is a good earner for the club. The team responsible for corporate sales do a fantastic job. If by some miracle we ever get a stand upgrade or new stand then looking after the corporate sector must be the main priority and increasing the number of corporate guests we can cater for is essential . I don't know how the club is supposed to survive if all anybody wants is cheap tickets, special offers etc etc, £ 25 represents good value.

The problem is you are dealing with the fickle Wakefield public who couldn't give a damn about live sport.
No doubt some will come out of the woodwork if we get the stadium sorted (Big If!) but generally the Wakefield public would not support Man
Utd if they played at BV!

8 can think of loads that stay away for verious reasons, when you add the people who used to stand near me the number doubles to at least 20.
Maybe the club should concentrate on trying to get new supporters through the gates next season.
I'm 100% convinced a winning team would see a significant increase in attendance.

Fingers crossed there will be no more disruptions from COVID come next season. A good structured marketing approach complimented by some non-rugby attractions will hopefully bring in an extra couple of hundred through the gate.

Not seen it in a while but what happened to the u19’s playing before the first team, would often go down to watch some of the younger lads play and I’m sure it was only an extra quid,
