This post mite get moved but here goes, i like many was appaled with the size of the crowd last nite just over 12k against the 3 times champs why have the other 6k gone, it was more important than the bradford game yet lots of empty seats.

Play-offs never get big crowds first game, fact of life. The 6k are missing out. What a game we saw last night.

I can't believe people are so shocked.

1. Kids ST work out £1 a game, so last nights game cost at least £8
2. People would have saved some dosh for the game in 2 weeks (had we got through last night)
3. 11K home fans paying top dollar isn't all that bad

seems that the club haven't learned jack about why so many fans were missing as they are employing the same ticket prices for Fridays game. I do fear for the attendance this week, HKR will bring a few more than Leeds but I still dont see the crowd getting any bigger than 10K.

My 7 year old didn't come to the game because it was a school night. I'd assume many others would feel the same. I also think a lot of people see a Friday game as a night out on the ale rather than going to the match. Can't do that on a Sunday night.

HKR should bring 3k, i was surprised they annouced the same ticket prices it should have been £10 max

Halving ticket prices has never and will never double crowds. The club will make more money off 12,500 "full price" admissions than 15,000 "half price" admisssions.

Can't agree with you there pal, "The big one 1" V Leeds attracted 20K, a game that usually attracts 13-14K this was purley down to selling tickets for a tenner.

A ground with acres of empty seats make our game look shabby.

Earning the club less than 13-14K paying full price in the process. Full ground or full purse?

Full ground for me pal. The knock on effects from having new fans should far outweigh £5 on the price of a ticket ie. future ticket sales, merchandise sales, making the club more attractive to prospective sponsers

But the big one was marketed heavily for at least two months. You can't really do that in 5 days. All last weeks crowds were down heavily on regular season crowds.

Wigan v Leeds 17,883 to 12,117
Hull FC v Hull KR 20,079 to 17,699
St Helens v Warrington 17,500 to 14,632

Huddersfield v Crusaders did rise from 5,339 to 5,869 but a hefty rise in away fans attributed for that.

We didn't go as it is a school/work night and getting back here at 12-1am isnt workable with work the next day.

I brought my kids, but won't again on a Sunday night. They were hyper, still up at midnight and a pain in the backside this morning.

Fair point, tbf.

It actually earned the club more - you forgot about the 10,000 who had already bought a seat because of their season ticket.

I thought that the gate money from the play-offs went to the RFL - it is then split between the top eight as prize money. The club would only take their expenses out.

Correct.

Lets be honest 6-45 kick off on sunday is an absolute cack time to kick off.

I got home last night and was still laying awake at 1am this morning going over and over the game and i was a zombie all day so god help your two
Horrible k O time on a Sunday

Mine too.



Cost me about £45 all in all last night, just me and the two lads.
Now we play Friday I'm gonna have to scrape another £50-60+ for an extra fixture which is in the middle of the month that I didn't budget for really. It's tempting to tell the missus and kids that they can stay at home and watch it on SKY save me about £45, but the kids will be gutted. A £30 family ticket would have been a help for this Friday, especially if we have to go away the week after.

Not so much bothered about adult prices, but kids should be a fiver!

The RL dont like consession (sp?) tickets do they

Thats your own fault for not owning your own ground as this game was scheduled for a Friday night months in advance.

The RFL do concessions when they want to.The Grand Final you can get kids tickets for now half adult prices they also had kids tickets for the cup semi finals but for Wembley it was full price whatever age in 2009 but in 2010 they said kids under 2 were free. The playoffs surely were decided by clubs as saints had kids tickets and also a family ticket this weekend. 2 adults and 2 kids for 40 quid

Months in advance? Dont talk little boy.

If you play us in the Semi's you'll like our prices! Normal for adults but £5 kids.

I really think play-off games should be included in season tickets. This is obviously hard/impossible to work if the money goes to the RFL for prize money.

Hit the nail on the head there Donna for me.
