Excellent attendance given the absence of away fans and a good atmosphere I thought. hudds/wakey only got 3289 but I can't find attendances for the wire or wigan games so not sure how many they got at their games

7,773 at Warrington v Widnes

8,010 at Wigan v Cas

Shows what an impressive attendance our's was.

Think both Cas and Widnes took around 2000, excellent attendance.

With 4 home left, I'd look to offer a mini pass for the rest of the season.

6 home left

Of course it is, no idea were I got 4 from!

£100 for the last 6 home games is what I would offer.

Mini pass for the play offs. £60 adults and £20 kids. Get people back into the habit of having a pass

Think In paid £90 for the last 7 games the other year IIRC.

I agree that marketing a mini-pass would be a good move, particularly as it includes Leeds and Rovers two of the most attractive home games despite them both being bottom 4.

As for the crowd yesterday, it was a good in the context of Challenge Cup crowds, but I still get baffled by Rugby League fans will pay for a season pass and turn out for 'run of the mill' league games, but ask them to pay on the day for an all or nothing cup or playoff game and even with cheap prices they don't turn out. 1,739 fans less in the ground than when we played Catalan the other week, despite our form getting ever stronger and this game meaning more.

Easy answer, it was on tv. I know league games can be, but pass holders obviously still go to the game

I agree that fans in general seem averse to paying for cup games, but your post seems to suggest that its pass holders who didn't turn up. Have you some analysis to support this theory?

Good question

Actually thought there were over 10k there yesterday. East Stand appeared more full than it does for some home games, likewise the West stand

I get that for some fans it's hard, that's why I'm never critical of anybody who goes to even just obe game or even none..unlike the bag of fecal matter that is Wizeb.
My point was that an extra few quid for the ticket- not £10-£15 as you suggested that would change your mind, if you are travelling and spending XX is a small % increase in the outlay. If match tickets are for instance £18 and they were still £18 for this cup match would that have stopped you going if you attended natches ad-hoc anyway?
As I said I'm not against the gesture, it's to be appluaded, it's just not proven to increase attendances other than on the match day itself, that's all I was saying. Certainly not a ing contest as to how much any one fan spends to get to games just using it to make a point about the differential in reduced match tickets against not.

There was a discussion on the VT about a group ticket thing for WCC, CC early round games, internationals and any other non season ticket matches sold as a package. An away season ticket that benefits those amazing fans that travel to all if not the vast majority odf away games should be considered in conjunction with the RFL.
