SL average attendance : Thu Apr 07, 2022 9:55 am  

We aren't doing bad compared to previous years but we really need to pick it up if we want to be a successful club.

Table
1 St Helens (13,195)
2 Leeds (12,606)
3 Hull FC (11,145)
4 Wigan (10,622)
5 Castleford (9,213)
6 Warrington (8,642)
7 Hull KR (8,372)
8 Catalans 7,295
9 Toulouse (5,289)
10 Huddersfield (5,247)
11 Wakefield (4,977)
12 Salford (4,569)

We do but other than word of mouth the club offers no other ways to get new fans in, no marketing anywhere, no deals, mini tickets.

I know this isnt isolated to Wakefield but £25 is steep compared to other entertainment options.

The headline figure is ok but, does include the Leeds fixture, which, although played on a Thursday night, this would usually be expected to boost attendance numbers..
As you say, plenty still to do and hopefully a decent cup run will help

Seems comparable to other sports events … similar to buying theatre tickets and much cheaper than concert tickets…

In terms of "£25 is steep", what are you comparing us to ?

How many tickets are we giving away compared to other clubs Take Hudds are they still giving season tickets at half price .Toulouse are they giving tickets away This is it if you got no Suger Daddy .who is ok to give\lose thousand a season you will get bigger crowds(.Except Cas lol) but they have been on great run under Powell .That proves if we can start playing great rugby (Think we are going in the right direction this season) and start getting to sem-finals and getting in to the top 6 the crowds will come back .Know it itcould only be a extra 2 thousand at the most But we know we have the people in charge who could turn that extra cash into making us in to a bigger club without giving free tickets away and putting us thousands of pounds in det

Get a win on Sunday in front of the camera’s and I’m sure it will put a buzz about the place and the city ,and keeping up the performances will go a long way to getting the stay aways back and hopefully some new fans in the making

:

And the Toulouse fixture that had virtually no away support.

Re: SL average attendance : Thu Apr 07, 2022 11:33 am  

And Hull who had the usual good following.
Its not so much now but the end of the season when the figures matter.
A good run and a semi final along with Insentives for new supporters and I would have thought a good 2 thousand could be added.
Let's see.

Cas got 7.5k against Toulouse.
We can't use that as an excuse. It's out support that matters, not the away support.
