I think the basic problem now is fear of Covid because all we have heard for over 12 months are details of the number of deaths and those contracting the illness. With many of the Wakefield support I would guess being over 40 they have had to endure nothing but warnings about the impact and how it is best to social distance coupled with the further complications of mingling with the unvaccinated.
No question that many, many folk are nervous about getting out and about again but, in terms of dropping crowd numbers, football and the recent 100 cricket dont seem to be as affected as RL.
Maybe this is partly because we are almost at the end of the season and people have got used to doing other things, plus, the ever changing days that the games are played doesn't help.
However, if we had the proverbial magic wand, what would get people back for the Hull game and then to return next season ?
I know that as fans, we've really had to endure some rubbish on the field and our numbers were already on the slide prior to covid but, a new era, new coach and some positive results and who knows, maybe something happening with the ground
, there ARE reasons to be positive about the future.
