Quote ="Teessidewire"Is that the first 5,000 from Huddersfield, or both Clubs? From what I can remember, last time Huddersfield had a home play-off game they drew about 4,300, last year I think we got over 8,000. If we gave that sort of discount we would have to fill the HJ to be anywhere near breaking even.'"
But instead of a damp atmosphere from a half empty stadium, you get a packed stadium, so better atmosphere, and all the extra drinks/food/programme sales that come with the additional punters inside the ground ...... and as (IIRC) ticket sales go to the RFL to be shared amongst the playoff teams, these on site revenues are what the home team actually benefits from!
