With some of the recent discussions on here touching on the subject of some fans allegedly losing interest in the regular season, and finding games 'pointless', I thought it would be an idea to get an actual picture of how often people attend games compared to 5 years ago.

I've openly said I go to Wigan less often - there are several reasons for this, including a gradually waning lack of interest in some games and a resulting unwillingness to spend as much money on something I'm less enthusiastic about. That said, the other reasons are unavoidable and even if I was as enthusiastic as ever I wouldn't be able to go as much.

Select an option, give your reasons in brief and tell us who you support...

Wigan, less, because I live in Oxford now.

I only go now when I am invited to a Corporate Box.

[uOption[/u: I attend SL games [ufar[/u less often.

[uReasons[/u: Structural changes introduced (14 teams, Top 8 play-offs, franchising) which is a licence for rewarding mediocrity as there are only four half-decent teams. Regular season (and therefore season tickets) rendered meaningless and a waste of time, particularly in the case of top clubs who are guaranteed play-off places without raising a sweat. Reduction in overall playing standards and entertainment value which reflects the lack of importance of fixtures these days.

[uSupport[/u: The game first and foremost. I don't fall into the one-club supporter category.

I personally go to as many wakefield games as I can, home or away and that will not change. however I also used to go to the challenge cup final every year regardless of who was playing and the same for the grand final, which I no longer do as I have no real interest in who wins them and the occasion is not what it used to be.

I also used to enjoy the Cardiff MM weekend, but a weekend in a Manchester housing estate does not have the same appeal, so I only attend the wakefield game and watch the rest on tv.

Go to more games now than previously.
Decent gorup of friends, enjoy the craic, enjoy the game, enjoy Wakefield Trinity.
Didnt attend any of the internationals last season but, already have tickets for some world cup games.
When you compare the sport on offer against any its main rivals, football, union or cricket, RL is far superior, even if the 27 regular games are just a qualifying competition.

It must be difficult for the supporters of the big 4, who are only interested in the "big" games, i really feel sorry for them (not)

This year will go to all Broncos home games, some away, CC final, GF, WC Cardiff and WC semi in London

I used to attend SL,CC,Championship and internationals.
Now i only attend Donny home games. I am totally sick of the way the game is going.
The DR/feeder club scenario leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
I do not like to go to the big games any more because drunken/yobbish behaviour is becoming more common.

After having my interest in the game rekindled just a few years ago, getting more and more disillusioned with football, and enjoying the live experience of some cracking games (Widnes and Saints) - I'm keen to attend games more and more now.

Will go to as many Widnes home games as possible, 2 or 3 away games, and a few World Cup games including the final.

Option: Exactly the same
Team: Wakey
Reason: Attend all home games (had ST for last 15 years) and usually get in about 6-7 away games. Also try and get to at least 1 international and sometimes go watch Fev or Dewsbury if Wakey arent playing.

In fact, probably go to one more game now because of the Magic weekend being in Manchester. Wasn't really fussed about Scotland or Wales.

I attend less.
The reason is the price of petrol.

Tickets are still cheap but with petrol costs oin top no longer an option to attens all games.

Will attend about half of what i watched last season.

attend more because it's getting better and better.
fine there are 3 different mini leagues in the super league.
fine i hate eddie hemmings
fine some games a crap blow outs. (because some teams are just plain better than others)
but the players are faster, bigger, stronger, more skillful and more clever than i've seen(only been watching 23 odd years though). add on to that games like tonight and i would say if you're going less you're missing out.

I attend the same. Only about one game a season mind, when I visit family in hull or watch rovers play away at the stoop. If there was a championship/super league club near me I would be there every week though.

I attend roughly the same number. I am a Hull FC season pass holder and have a round trip of 120 miles per home game. I'll go to as many away games as possible (work and family commitment permitting). Depending on CC and play offs I would probably got to approx 23/24 games each season

i intend to go to more games this season.
travel 3-3.5hrs each way for FC home games, financially quite expensive for me (travel is almost twice the ticket price at times so £65 minimum cost) and Fridays often impossible.
just want to come up more often to support my team

Less, i don't like friendlies (weekly rounds)

I've put the same. but thinking about it I go more often now due to being better of financially.

Less. Not much of a financial incentive to get the season ticket - miss a couple of games and I've lost money on it really. Pay on the gate for the 'bigger' games, watch other games on TV, not necessarily Leeds either.

Fans at the rugby games seem to be getting more and more clueless, appealing for everything just because it's their team. A bit like football, really.

I am a hull kr fan but do not go much because for the last 6 yrs have lived in gosport near Portsmouth, but go to all the c/c finals at wembley and thank Christ for sky TV

I attended two games last season and I don't have any real plans to attend any this year unless it's spur of the moment. Growing up I used to go to matches home and away but these days I'm more than content to watch my team on Sky TV or listen to their matches on the radio. I also watch most rugby league games live on sky.

The joy of attending anything every week for years can easily become joyless and I think spectator sport is like that. I've met people who've attended games on a week by week basis for decades and then just suddenly stopped going for all sorts of reasons.

I'm sure they'll be seasons in the future where I attend games every week like I used to but for now I'm happy with the way things are!

After 3 years with a season ticket, i've not got one this year for 2 main reasons.

1 It basically takes out 2 days where I can work, because I go with grandparents and have to stay the night there, due to public transport, and I need the money
2 Games are less intense and less worth it. If all 13 home games were like the one last night, i'd be there no matter what, but last year the only games that seemed worth my money were against Wire, Leeds & Saints.

I nearly chucked going 2 seasons ago after been a season ticket holder at Hull for over 20 seasons because of the combination of the club been run by Hethrington and coached by Agar and shift work .

In the last two years, I've been to two Wakey games. I catch the amateur game in the South West though so I get my fix.

As an Hull FC pass holder for many a year, I go to every home game and roughly three-quarters of away games. I go to cup and amateur games if feasible.

I always go to the World Club Challenge and international games, providing it's not versus. France, Wales etc. The Grand Final is also a must every year.

As much as I moan and whine about our game, I am still a rugby league and Hull FC fanatic. Watching and supporting rugby league live is just a given.

Clearly more often than most of the posters on the VT.
