Eh?

I think they probably called it a marketing promotion rather than a scam in house and is no different to what other clubs have done in the past.

Encouraging any extra supporters through the gates of Knowsley Road should be applauded rather than ridiculed, it can hardly be an easy sell with those facilities and a team full of proven GF chokers.

So you buy a fancy TV, sky HD (broadcast in 720p not 1080) and buy the beers and people come round to watch it?

Is my TV lying to me when it flashes up 1080i then? (The Japanese whore)

wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a season ticket?

I once paid a Japanese whore to flash me but that's probably not a story I should share on here.

No way, they bring there own beers!

get to sit in the warm, chill on my sofa, drink cold beer, dont get home at silly o'clock able to talk to others about the game and not shout, can have a dump during half time in the comfort of my own bathroom.

I reckon I been to over a million Rugby League games and not once, NOT ONCE, have I ever needed a dump yet you reserve your daily turd for half time…?????

There’s nowt as queer as folk.

I was desperate once as i was suffering from a bad case of the Tom Tits, so I had to make my way down though a packed South Stand to the lovely luxurious toilets underneath. Once I reached the toilets to let rip I made a tempory toilet seat consisting of appox. 100 pieces of toilet paper, after destroying the toilet with a large deposit to my dismay there was no paper left. I then had to make my way to the cubicle next door walking like a crab. True story.

That’s dedication for you – having a case of the squits but still turning up for a game.

Phil? are you reading this?

i did that but used my knickers.then left them behind the cistern for the cleaner

Form is temporary, but class is permanent.

TVOC, Could you do the maths without the warrington game in the calculation to see what the average home crowd has been at Gilbert Brutus?

Thanks fella

Your figures tie up nicely with [url=http://www.slstats.org/Home.htmlRL Fans[/url but the RL Fans stats show half the teams with 14 home games. Are the figures for pure home attendances or do they include the Murrayfield Magic Weekend for the home teams (Wigan, Hudds, Wakey, Catalans, Hull & Salford)?

Just checked Wigan's and they are for the home 13 matches. Sorry too annoy you.

What do the Giants have to do to get more fans

- top 3,cup final and didn't they have some scheme this season where certain season tickets for adults were under £100.

Result +1%

To be fair any positive effects of the cup final will only show in attendances for next season.

I guess any increase is a positive step in a way but it is a shame the success and the offers didn't do more to get new people into the games.

Les Catalans in SL:

2006 (Finished 12 of 12) Aggregate 91,594 (14), Average 6,542

2007 (Finished 10 of 12) Aggregate 105,707 (13), Average 8,131 (+24.29%)

2008 (Finished 3 of 12) Aggregate 108,888 (13), Average 8,376 (+3.01%)

2009 (Finished 8 of 14) Aggregate 119,061 (13), Average 9,159 (+9.35%)

Excluding Warrington in Barcelona

2009 (Finished 8 of 14) Aggregate 100,911 (12), Average 8,409 (+0.39%)

Biggest home attendance: 18,150 20th June 2009 V Warrington

Smallest home attendance: 4,197 24th June 2006 V Harlequins

Or something like that

I tend to agree with that too.But what strikes me is that NEXT years prices there even include easy-payment schemes and some fans there could pay less than this year.Think approx £60/£70 on easy terms is unreal.If they cannt get a significant increase on 5500 season ticket holders then Ken Davey is beating his head on a wall.Which is a shame considering how they have improved.
I do think that Huddy is trying to get on top of the franchise feature of percentage of capacity and ensure they are gaining merit points where they can.I feel its a shame they dont deal with visiting fans prices too.As a %age of gate revenue visitors pay a overly high part of total match by match revenue,if you break season ticket prices to a per game price and do the maths on a good visiting fan number.

Taking the average crowd stat the crowds have still increased then, who said it would never work down there!

You'd think some sort of club official might know this rather than relying on a enthusiastic statto fan of another team...............

I hope they increase it, and even if they keep on building slowly but surely its positive and probably more sustainable in the long term.

The offers they have are great, you do have to wonder if enough is being done in the area to ensure that everyone knows about the offers and that is why the take up is relatively small?

i think it will take a few years yet for fartown to build up a bigger fanbase
they have been down and sometimes almost out for a lot of years.
playing like they are and a bit more success i think they can attract a bigger fanbase

Huddersfield should be applauded for adding 1%

We are the largest club in Super League with the biggest fan base, we have won the LLS and are favourites to win at OT in October yet we are nearly 7.5% down on last year attendance figures.

A 1% growth in the current economic climate is much more than most companies can boast this year.
