Quote ="Kosh"Awful turnouts like this year's playoffs you mean?
Also I don't recall feeling that we'd won a 'Mickey Mouse cup' at Old Trafford in '91.'"
No and i too thought it was a great achievment for us. However and you should remember this a lot of the sides played weakened teams for this competition.

being in the play offs and having a shout of getting to the GF should be incentive enough.
the teams need you more than ever in knock out rugby, no wonder hudds lost last night , playing in an empty stadia with no atmosphere, must have felt like they were on the training field!'"
I agree but not everyone can afford to go to the play off games as well. A basic family of 4 would be set back roughly £100 for each game in the playoffs especially if away from home.
It's not just 1 or 2 games it is up to 4 games in the space of a month which could set a family back over £400 and not that many families can justify or afford that amount.
So from a average family of 4's point of view i could understand them waiting till the final eliminator before attending.
