TBH , I think it was a poor showing from the Hudds fans after what Davy has done for the club in the past.

May be a rethink is needed. The Rugby League usually markets quite well especially for Wembley, Grand Final and Internationals.

For starters I'd revert to a Top Six Play Off, as 7th and 8th are nowhere. I'd then market the initial games for £10 leading up to Old Trafford. Defo time for a change though if Wigan v Saints can only get 12,000.

I agree. Davy is stumping up a fortune to keep attendances 'artifically' up at the Galpharm. Make you wonder how long he will keep it up.

Until he's dead at a guess, then they're fooked.

Costing him over £1m a year isn't it?

Whats the old saying?...you can lead a horse to water...............

Crowd at Wigan looks pretty poor by usual standards.

Att 6,790

Embarrassing, really.

Jesus. We got 6235 against Oldham in the cup

Dont forget they have an expensive day out in a couple of weeks though.

That was my point. We got almost the same for a game we were always going to win at a canter. Time for the RFL to recognise our potential and tell the refs to go easy on us. If nothing else we would get some major numbers through the turnstiles in the unlikely event of a play-off win. It will have been 5 years between play-off win drinks if that were to happen in 2012.

had we beat leeds last week and gone to wigan today and not catlan, you still there would had been still 6,790, i'd had said maybe 12,000 to 14,000

We have just said [iexactly [/ithe same thing. A strong Hull FC brings pots into the sport. There'd have been 14k easy if we had played at the KC today, to say nothing of the potential away support would put into other club's coffers. The seeming RFL downer on us simply doesn't make sense financially.

They need to get Lord Faulkner a bit more hands on at the RFL chairmen meetings. Got more about him than most of the other put together.
