This momentum for Barrow is so impressive when the soccer team got themselves into the FL and it´s not stopped them, looking like financially being a fully established Champ team. York get another good one in and look like they are warming up on and off the field now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jughead Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) Halifax’s average attendance in 2019, the last year without any restrictions/suspensions of season etc, was 1,761. To get a crowd of 2,202 on a Monday night for a televised game is a very good attendance. The same game in 2019 on a Sunday pulled in 2,245.

It's just a general opinion on where Fax used to be , maybe a decade ago , they seemed to be getting better crowds and the place had a different feel to it , again plenty of work went into getting the stand finished and it was hoped that would help them kick on , maybe winning the Championship when promotion wasn't the reward has dented that vibrancy , all IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamfordsbeans Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Fax unlike most other clubs when moving grounds in the 90's found crowds at the Shay were well down on Thrum Hall. Despite finishing 3rd in SL attendances were way short of the late 80's early 90's era. Financial problems and subsequent relegation meant a different club and the last 20 years has seen them mainly as one of the best part time teams in the Championship with crowds of around 2,000. Sharing the ground the football team get similar attendances and are punching above their weight against teams with far bigger resources. Can't see this changing much unless a money man is around the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus having football club on cusp of football league means you cant even 3g the pitch for revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweaty craiq Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 3G pitches have no place in RL SB. Monday night was a £10 admission deal, so half the income in real terms and either the crowd was sheeite or Monday nights are not attractive - certainly not for Leigh fans who have now had to travel to Yorkshire 3 times on a Monday night so far, not helping the habit to return after covid and the SL experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, clubs need to get as much use out of their facilities as possible. Personally think that sports hubs are the way forward, creating somewhere for the community and having an artificial pitch helps this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally think that sports hubs are the way forward, creating somewhere for the community and having an artificial pitch helps this. It also helps massively if you ever want funding for anything or actually growing a club. Green spaces for kids and schools in many places of high population are non existent to at a premium. Having a space where you can 5 days a week have schools coaching from primary to secondary, a college team or academy use it and work with a local university creates a club from top to bottom and expands the clubs reach across a massive area. Certainly going to give Wakey some great opportunities even if they are a full time team. They´ve got all of Monday, Tuesday Evening, Thursday evening and pretty much the whole weekend bar 5 hours to rent it out or get community games on there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bonkers that people are suggesting we should compromise player welfare and our core product, professional Rugby League, for this. Stick them on training pitches, not the middle of a pro sports stadium. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On sale this morning (what have they been waiting for?) and comments suggest it is hard going. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Yeah no obvious reason why online is not the default for everyone besides the small number who need additional support. 1 I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Eddie Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 It also seems odd that Wigan have waited until today to put them on sale, it’s not like the fixture was subject to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
