That's the crux of the matter.

Is there anywhere in town you can buy match tickets these days, because I can't imagine people with just a casual interest heading down Donny Road to pick up a ticket in advance just to save a couple of quid. They'll more than likely not bother at all.

No but we do have TELEPHONES in Yorkshire, ring up pre-book and coolect on match day thats easy enough even for us

They've finally arrived, have they? Congratulations!

Seriously, though, it's about making it easier for people with a casual interest to buy tickets in advance, on a whim, if you like. That involves smart pricing too. Add any extra effort to the process, and a lot of people just won't do it. And they probably won't pay 20 quid on the gate either. Net result, they don't turn up.

Without a doubt, one phone call and bobs yer uncle.

Just over 5.8k.

Pleasing and not far off the amount I predicted.

Over 1000 up on last years Catalans match.

Re: Crowd prediction for Sundays game : Sun Feb 07, 2010 10:21 pm  

It would be nice if the club could maintain the 20% increase in attendances throughout the season

Surely that can be maintained next week against Leeds, as last year's Friday night game only drew a disappointing 6,425 crowd. Hopefully, the attendance will be nearer to the 9,863 in Round 2, 2008.

Or maybe we are actually telling the truth with the numbers through the turnstiles. there were more fans in on several games last season than announced, especially the Leeds one.
