Think we sold out earlier in the season too there if I remember rightly - if any Wiganers miss out there's usually some left in the home stands (which is what I did first time round).

Hull Kingston Bronco Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Rovers have now sold out their second allocation of tickets for Wakefield a week on Friday. I've no idea why we didn't just get all the tickets we could in the first place, after the amount we took to Huddersfield (and what a noise..!) I really wouldn't be surprised if there's more Rovers fans at Wakey next week than home fans. It's our 2nd closest away game (still over an hour...), so expect a big following. What's Trinity's best attendance of the season so far? 3 Apparently this site says I "won the day" here on 23rd Jan, 19th Jan, 9th Jan also 13th December, whatever any of that means. Anyway, 4 times in a few weeks? The forum must be going to the dogs - you people need to seriously up your game. Where's Dutoni when you need him?

AB Knight Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 1,213 last Sunday for York Valkyrie vs Huddersfield Giants Women. Very good turnout, and so many faces that I don’t see at the men’s games. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With York Valkyrie I think the Knights should research why a lot of fans watch the women’s team but not the men’s. Obviously I don’t spend all game looking at every single person and thinking have I seen them at a men’s match, but over the years you start to recognise faces, I reckon as a rough estimate maybe 1 in 3 only go to women’s games. I find it fascinating. Not sure if it’s the more slightly relaxed family atmosphere, the fact it’s cheaper, the women’s team being more successful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The experience of other sports is that whilst there is a fair bit of overlap, it is quite often a different audience. It’s one of the reasons why the RFL policy of curtain raisers for many big women’s games is counter productive. 4 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Hull Kingston Bronco Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 On the subject of attendances, we’re often told that one of the benefits of relegation is it creates excitement from uncertainty, which is good for attendances and viewing figures. Well how about this: - Hull KR will get 9,000+ on Saturday against Salford, as they both aim for the playoffs - The crowd for the 2016 Million Pound Game was under 7,000 That’s 28% better this season. Fans want a quality product, with teams aiming for either trophies or progression for the future. Relegation “excitement” brings little value commercially. The numbers don’t lie. 2 Apparently this site says I "won the day" here on 23rd Jan, 19th Jan, 9th Jan also 13th December, whatever any of that means. Anyway, 4 times in a few weeks?
