The club would have been foolish not to have promoted today's game and the revenue from today will have really helped the finances. I wish they would promote every home game in the same way and create the level of excitement that they did today.
Today the game didn't go our way but realistically there will always be one winner and one loser. We might might have missed out on the £250000 but we have to start building our revenues and today showed that we can do it

I would say everyone agrees with the first half of your post however , I saw people down there today that I havn`t seen in some time and I would think a good many will not be back . It`s such a shame for the Club ,fans and players as for the last few matches they seemed to have turned a corner.

I was thinking something similar, over 3000 there today for the first time in a long time.
Fev of course were well supported but against Barrow in 3 weeks time it will be nearer 1000, they won't bring many and there will be a lot of home support that will likely stay away.

1,300 at Leigh today. That's how hard it is. Things may change next year with the new comp but clubs still have to work really hard to get the fans in. It's a struggle.

If clubs find it hard in this league how do clubs run a pro team in champ 1 on crowds of a few hundred We complain but I'm glad my club isn't one of the 5 going down

Sorry , was ironic, but never comes across well.
Can never understand why the crowd drops as it's really a home fixture.

It will be season ticket holders that are missing they won't want to pay

Yep. There are many ST who will only watch their ticketed match. Simple question of affordability for most people, esp those with families.

It was a good crowd today as that was the least Fev have brought for years I guess 500 tops so we had 2500 home supporters and we blew it!
Sad day today we went back to that early season stuff, Fev knew we would not score 4 tries so just wound the clock down second half.
