I think a lot of people including myself have asked the same question. Our board and boards across the Championship need to take these hard facts to the RFL and end this madness.

£30.00 for two home games. Are you sure your a rugby league fan, seems to me your just a tv fan

There is simply no comparison between watching a game on TV and watching it live.

Before I first came to a game at Cougars I had watched RL on TV and although I enjoyed it, it did not make me want to go to a game.

That all changed after my first live game - the action is so much more personal and exciting and the interaction with the rest of the crowd makes it a much more social event.

PS I thought you weren't going to post again

Maybe some of us can see the wood for the trees.

If I had time and money I would travel to watch more rugby league at one of my more local clubs as well as watching Keighley. I watch some games on premier sports but it doesn't compare to being there live.... plus as much as I appreciate the quality of NRL I'd much rather watch a couple of local amateur teams battling things out on a muddy pitch and support my local community.

Swinton got over 1,000 yesterday as they had a £5 offer on and Lee Briers playing!. I don't think we can say without further information that the low attendances are just down to the dual reg debacle. The continued austerity and, for our team specifically, a loss of high profile players will explain some of the attrition.

It just shows what a bit of innovation will do in terms of swelling the attendances. I get the impression that our board have budgeted for x amount of £15 entry fees and will not budge on that price. I'd be interested to see if we get any increase when Bradford City have finished their season?
