More than that won’t go because the tram from Eccles isn’t running, or because Eastenders or whatever is on tv at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommygilf Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 (edited) Barely a Hunslet home attendance over 60,000. No two ways about it, that is very worrying Edited September 24, 2022 by Tommygilf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool Rover Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 I thought that getting 60k with everything that's going on and with lots no doubt choosing to buy World Cup tickets was a decent attendance. The more alarming thing for me was that any media build up during the week was non existent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to suggest otherwise on an attendance thread. I suspect IMG will have that as a top of the list priority to increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 10k average decrease in 11 years isn't a laughing matter sadly. Its a worrying trend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Browny Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 It is a poor attendance and the trend is downwards. Folk have seen our big teams play each other in Grand Finals and it offers nothing new for many of them. There is a 90% chance next season's Grand Final will involve two of Saints, Leeds and Wigan: few are getting excited about that beyond fans of those clubs, and even they are starting to shrug. 2 I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, ÂŁ7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a ÂŁ2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Leyther_Matt Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Was only the odd empty seat around us in N2413 but I didn’t realise just how many empty seats there were facing the cameras. First GF I’ve attended in over a decade and thought it was great value for money at £28 in the corner, back half of the lower tier. We’ve got safe standing for the RLWC Final which is the equivalent view in the south west corner and they’re £60. Now that’s a tough sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northamptoncougar Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 A failure to sell out OT is a failure of the RFL / Superleague imo.  We shouldn’t be relying on the two finalists to sell it out, it should be an “experience” neutrals / newbies want to attend. What is a crying shame is it could be so much more, a DJ as pre match entertainment is pathetic / Jerusalem is standard, do something pre match, do something at half time for gods sake. It’s not rocket science. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henson Park Old Firm Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 My idea, to get more people to the final(I do realise it would damaged the pitch and Man U would probably say no... but)  Maybe the Championship Final, Women's Super League (in that order) should be played at Old Trafford as a curtain raisers for the Grand Final. Also, all amateur kids club should receive discounted group tickets (which I'm sure they already do to some degree) And Finally, play the Grand Final on the same day as the NRL final... and make it a festival type atmosphere with beer gardens, meet former players, live NRL GF action on the Big screen and while 2 extra games (Women's GF and the Million Pound Game) are being played inside the staduim. Almost a Magic Weekend feel about it.   We can market/name it as the Super league's "The Grand Day Out"   1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly seemed a bit basic at the GF today, which isn't to say it was bad, but there wasn't a wow moment within the RFLs control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
