Quote ="meast"If warrington weren't going Well this year i doubt even half those fans would have come, it was certainly the biggest turnout of wire fans I've ever seen, but like I've said i dont think there's much more barring a grand final or challenge cup win,that our club can do to get bums on seats'"
Meast you are probably right, if the wire were mid table playing inconsistent rugby, we would have taken fewer fans. Looking at the Giants as a club they are well placed in the SL, have a great ground, a cracking season last year 3rd in league and runners up in the cup, plus you have been to the final twice in recent years. Surely you have done enough on field to attract supporters.
The offer of cheap season tickets albeit a good deal to begin with may backfire for you guys long term, how will fans react when they have to budget to pay more for their rugby? Even cheap tickets for adults and freebies for the kids couldn't entice your regulars yesterday. I'm afraid there's no easy fix for the problem you may have to look how other clubs have been successful at attracting support. Unfortunately the worst thing that may come from yesterdays defat is that the paying supporter may decide not to bother next week or the week after until your form improves again, same things happens at the wire and probably most clubs unfortunately.
