Fewer.

Awful attendance. Team deserved more on the night, but mitigating circumstances - finances, weather, on tv.

In the style of the comic book guy .... Worst thread ever !!!

...dire performance the previous week. I know of at least two 'non-regular' supporters who went to the Saints game and were put off attending the Cats game as a result.

Let me guess...

Assam and Ehab Allam.

Way too much time on your hands

Yes. With us missing 6 or 7 first teamers too, suspect most expected a grim defeat.

I think that the awful Challenge Cup performance, backed up with another dire effort against Saints was just too much for some people. The game was also priced wrong, tickets should have been £10.

Additionally, as others have stated, people have started to pay out for 2014 season passes. We bought ours so have already spent £510 this week. Maybe the passes should go on sale slightly later?

Why buy them now? You have until 26/10/2013 to get them at the reduced rate so that doesn't wash .

Hardly a shock, last weeks performance, crap weather, on tv and against a team that were never going to bring any. A lot of my fc mates never went, probably reflective of yhe game as a whole really.

The giants get this constantly. Especially when we win (quite a lot this year ) if attendances is the only thing other clubs can pick to have a go at you then it means the rest must be decent! Anyone that thinks Thursday and even friday night playoffs at this time of year are a good idea are crazy- and it looks like both our teams are going to have to do Thursday again. We got just over 7000 - which is just above our disappointing average for the year and still got slated so it really doesn't matter.
The RFL are doing attendances no favours but as long as sky have them on a chain it won't improve. Our club have offered a refund of £15 for any game moved by sky for next years season ticket holders as that was the reason given by many who didnt renew last year- it's got so ridiculous.
At least now I hope it means we will have fewer trolls on our board about attendances in future as we can count you out.
Hope to see a few of you down at our stadium Thursday (unless KR can pull off a shock). But with Thursday night kick off it won't be easy. Supporters can be just as loyal whether they attend or not- it's what's in your heart that counts.

Ps you can't win either - because I took my two primary school aged kids on Thursday I'm apparently a bad parent!

Because I wanted to be in all of the Challenge 10k prize draws.

I and those I go with are regular attendees and Saints was the last straw to put us off, even though I fancied us to win. I've also been to watch rugby in worse weather than last night (I don't think anything will surpass West Hull at a snowy Boulevard). It's not really about the winning and the weather for me, it's about whether or not I feel I'm being taking for a mug or valued as a fan.

I agree with Mrs B that the team deserved more there based upon that performance, but then it's more a reflection of how people have felt about the season (and recent years) as a whole, and on that basis it's pretty understandable to me. Maybe we've finally reached the tipping point where enough fans just aren't going to/in a position to keep handing money over blind-faithfully without seeing enough in return. Possibly a bit of a culture shock for the club needing to actually earn a crowd instead of taking it for granted. I don't think they can grumble about that, it's taken 5 years to reach such a point so we've stuck by them, it's just high time they started to repay us, the relationship between team and fans is supposed to be reciprocal but has leant too much in one direction for a while.

The prizes? The earlier you buy, the better your chance.

you know your club's doing something well when there are threads full of other teams fans clutching at straws to criticise on a weekly basis.
