Bet the crowd is shocking on saturday. I will be there like allways apparently not a great day given, leeds are playing at a similar time UTD of course. Our game is televised on bbc.. Dear prices. Cant see it been good at all. It is a proper shame the boys deserve much better!!! Im going for a optimistic 4400.

4799

Wigan are bringing that many

Lets be fair no one in Wigan watches the football team away

Is there a football team in Wigan??

Wigan will bring around 500 no more. I can't see anymore than 3500 being there.

4000 if were lucky and im ashamed of that

No need really, you can't make people come.

If we get to a semi we'll no doubt find a few more though.

if this rain carries on expect 2000

nearly howling it down

Think the best thing that can be said about our attendances is that we go for quality not quantity

Yes but as a SL club drawing one of the biggest NAMES in rugby league, for a cc round we should be getting more and no doubt the trolls from nearby wil tell us we should be getting more, which imo we should.

Its a real shame, every man and his dog you talk to in the pubs and clubs of this fine city are Trinity fans apparently. If they did a servey of the locals the new stadium would have to hold 300 000.

A great team and a great club deserve much better.

Due to unseen circumstances I can not make it today may get the last 15 minutes on TV if I am lucky.
Wakey by 4
Gate 4275

Oh yes, so whats the answer Jason, how do the club get the fans to BV.

Lets face it another 2k every home game would make a BIG difference, but how do we do it?

This is how i see it Jonh

This is why i appreciate Wigan & Hull fans they get behind there home town/city team in Big Numbers

Drop entry price, it's almost £20 to watch a team that looses more than it wins in a crap stadium!! it's a lot of money to a lot of people. It probably won't make any more money for the club, but charge £15 and the gates will increase and give better figures for the club and a better atmosphere.
If were gonna need 10k per game in the future, start now, look at Huddersfield, they are being bankrolled somewhat I know, but they could well be the next club to seariously push the top two, increased attendances bring more benefits than ticket money alone.

Don’t buy this bit

But you are right it’s being pathetic and if it continues it may cost us our place in SL come 2012

For me it’s down to poor marketing and high prices on the gate and the lack of any real incentive to buy season tickets

Taken from the web site adult ground ticket £200 x 13 games +£15.38

Example of poor value
Barnsley FC Ponte End £270 x 23 games £11.73 per game
East stand upper lower £340 x 23 games £14.78
Kids under 12 £25
Kids free if with a paying adult

Huddersfield Giants need I say anymore

£3 off match day prices may work but i've always felt the missing fans spend more than that in the pubs and clubs on match days. It may help attract more famillies if we reduced the price and thats the area we need to target IMO.

Cost of stewarding would rise with higher figures so that would need to be offset, no easy answer i'm afraid.

If you reduce the gate price you have to offer better value for season ticket holders?

3,245.

The Challenge Cuo early rounds like the FA Cup are dying on their s attendance wise. Even with the good offer the Club have put on for this the lazy, apathetic Wakefield public wont get off their lard s to support their Club. Very sad really.

Hopefully if we get a new stadium this will change but i have my doubts as Wakey is no longer a Rugby League City.

Agreed al, but we seariously need to address this situation, we are a community team, hopefully going to play in a new community stadium, I think at £18 we are not giving the community what they want and they aren't coming ( I know that it's not that simple!!)
The comparison made to Barnsley FC is a good one and it shows what value can be had elsewhere, that is what we are up against.
Whilste I believe RL is a superior product to football, we don't expect to pay close to the over inflated prices that go along with it.
Huddersfield Town offer cheaper season tickets than we do and you can take a child in free with you.

also long overdue that the club made some attempt to tap other potential fan bases like taking a decent home game on the road to Barnsley
one like Bradford or maybe even Quins

yea they will come out of the woodwork. THis is a big game get through this a decent draw for quarters then we are in the semi finals again. Come on peeps sort your self out get down and support the team !!!! I certainly wouldnt mind another semi final somewhere

aslong as its not Huddersfield.

Yep, i work in Barnsley and theres a lot of interest in RL, 1 guy's already started to come over with his dad to BV and we may just find a few more fans if we did this, even if we lost money on the day it may well be worth it in the long run, and if the new ground gets built at Stanley its only a short hop over.

Plus it would bring back some great Memories at Oakwell

Thats the problem, we all make the effort on here, it's the one "off here" that we need.

Maybe if we offered them free membership on RLFANS that may work
