clifford 716 Report post Posted January 11 The one downside is only 500 people turned up, factors it was Wednesday night so no children where there, school night. I think that Rochdale will curse the postponement from Sunday. Finally IMHO the gate charge was slightly high for a pre-season friendly when the result persay is not of the most important but getting the pattern of play right together with running lines.. For me I would have let the kids on free, with an adult and reduce it to £12.00 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony Mac 101 Report post Posted January 11 Hi Dave Is there any video footage of the game at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The club are obligated to video league/cup games but since the Law Cup is a local pre-season game, there's no requirement. Give me a budget and some staff and we'll have a chuffin' jumbotron at all our games. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For me I would have let the kids on free, with an adult and reduce it to £12.00 I too was a bit disappointed by the turnout, probably a combination of it being midweek and yes I was there but I do think £15 for a pre season game is a tad steep.Nevertheless we won and that's the important thing.

Dave Naylor 1,593 Report post Posted January 12 Apart from a game played at Mayfield back in 2010, when an approximated 200 people turned up, the attendance of 504 is the lowest number ever recorded. https://roughyeds.co.uk/law-cup/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moorside roughyed 2,201 Report post Posted January 12 Wow,pretty grim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roughyed34 1,571 Report post Posted January 12 (edited) Grim but not unexpected really, as has been said admission price was pretty steep for a "friendly", people working,folk with other commitments in midweek,kids at school the following day. I bet most midweek games historically across RL attract a lower attendance than those played on a Sunday especially friendlies,the Roughyeds following was pretty good considering but still way down on what we would normally take to Hornets on a Sunday affy.
