State of Speccies : Wed Jul 06, 2011 12:11 pm  
Did anyone see the state of the attendaces for last weeks Championship games, I was looking in the league express and the highest gate was Fev at a pathetic 1380 or something. Others were well below this, Now i know there was no home game for widnes, fax or leigh but are they the only teams in championship pulling gates of over 2000 regularly.

In all honesty i had no idea the rest of the league was so dire with attendances.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

Who are they ?. Only joking, I Knew it was bad to be honest only really look at Leigh, Widnes, Fax and recently Fev. Fax and Leighs homes games remain about the same whilst fev are dropping off alot. The others are in absolute turmoil and are clearly just dying from a slow cash strangulated death.

Basically all f*cked by the RFL's insistence on expansion and no P&R.
I really only give the whole thing 10 years and it'll be last one's turn out the lights.

Is it any wonder with the massive away support brought by London Skolars, South Wales, Gateshead, Workington and Whitehaven. I am not having a go at the fans of these teams but you can't expect them to travel much due to the silly distances involved. But that's what you get with expansion, long distance away trips with little away support.

Is it really due to lack of P&R?

Do supporters of those clubs getting low attendances really expect them to be promoted? Lack of promoting a competition which is cheapened by introducing mickey mouse plastic clubs is probably more of a factor, in conjunction with competition from other, and cheaper, sports.

The whole of the sport outside of super league need to get together and plot a future together, we're all in this mess together and the RFL aren't interested in helping

Not directly, but I feel it's just one of the knock on effects of it and because the game is losings it's 'buzz' and competitive edge, while coming out with some right rubbish from the RFL in between. I know loads of people who supported York Knights or who would go casually that look at Rugby League now and just don't bother. These people don't realistically expect to ever see York in SL just as they didn't 5 years ago, but it's withering at all levels now because of decisions at the top.

I agree with all that Tommy said :thumb:

The attendances aren't going to improve because of the standard of rugby we play and the standard of opposition we play due to the salary cap farce , Imagine the crowds that come out of the pub and turn up to watch Leigh / Fax when Wigan , Wire , Saints , Leeds et al are in town .

We'll both show the RFL that Championship teams do have a following to see a good game .

See y'all in Blackpool for some doughnuts and a beer :ROCKS:
