distantdog Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 1 game in 600s if we had a season like youve had our attendances would be considerably higher than what yours are Unfortunately you don't get points for attendances! Not sure about the accuracy of this, but no reason to doubt it. http://www.totalrl.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=288662 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marketram Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 So Batleys average attendance is 32 higher than Dewsburys? So Batley have enjoyed the best story in rugby league, beat nearly everyone in the league, had games on tv and on average only have 32 people more in the ground than Dewsbury who have disappointed many fans, haven't been on tv, lost their 'star player' early in the season. Yes, I would say that's definitely 1-0 DD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not this season they weren't, and of course they shouldn't have been after our contrasting seasons. However, I have made my point often on here, that arguing over who has the best attendances is futile. Neither club gets them flocking in, despite what we all think of the product on offer. Neither club can ever be complacent about attendances and related finances connected to this. So please don't think I am trying to score any cheap points here, far from it, unlike the poster who brought up the subject of attendances.

So please don't think I am trying to score any cheap points here, far from it, unlike the poster who brought up the subject of attendances. The expression that I have used before is "two bald men arguing over a comb". Sadly the attendances for both clubs have changed little for the better for more than a decade, so looking at only one season is fairly meaningless. We aren't in competition with each other for spectators but with other sports and with disinterest in general. Naturally, I blame summer rugby. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolie Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Well if it's marketed right might tempt a few wakefield fans to our games and ours to theirs Don't run a A team Or run a combined A team Even dual reg with them I'd let their fans in for a fiver to our games and if they do the same it could be a friends with benefits partnership Plenty of scope to piggy back both clubs to the public Were gonna need some platform to sell our season tickets a free sweetener This could be it If it's done right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the old nine ole Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Just looking through Wakeys attendances for this season .... a best of just over 7000 .... what would our capacity be with terracing on the west side? .... I am guessing just over 6000 ..... and I am not sure our floodlights are up to S.L. requirements either..... Would it be feasible for Wakey to share??

Would it be feasible for Wakey to share??I'm guessing there's a few things that's to be added to the variables The wakefield fans who say "I'm not going to dewsbury " Owt over 5000 at wakefield are tourists. For the big games (if there is such a thing involving wakefield) Tickets will have to be sold I hope they come and earn us a few bob.

coolie Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Well heard nowt except the new owners have earmarked the site for a new development In their words "we thought it would be nice to utilise the land to bring something more interesting than watching wakefield trinity wildcats" They say the new watching paint dry facility should be ready for the public by 2017 Boasting a vast array of colours from deep purple to moody blue But as we know Simply red....amber & black Is the only way forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
