Well. The championship showpiece cup competition final could have the lowest attendance ever at this rate if Leigh don't make the final.
Sheffield v Workington anyone?

I will be there, unless Sheffield are.

Fev could only get 1100 home fans yesterday going off the announced gate

I'm sure on local radio it announced 1700 during commentry

I know nothing has been decided yet but should the second tier SL comp actualy come in to existence and involve a "Magic Weekend".

It sounds fresh and something to look forward to, the trends in attendance at the moment does worry me a little.

How many would turn up to watch the games and if it was on TV showing row after row of empty seats what impact that would have on potential sponsers /investers etc and the general publics perception of the game.

Shared gate, say no more.

Knock out games never get great gates. As soon as it goes to an all pay gate it puts people off. And there's always the suggestion of foul play when it comes to announcing a gate too when it's shared.

With the final been at Halifax rather than a possible weekend away at the seaside. I'd imagine there is less interest now than there has been in previous years.

HOME FANS

I didn't bother with the Eagles game. We played Barrow in the league a few weeks ago and won by around 30 without even playing very well. I knew we'd win easily, and for me it's a five week month so cash is a bit tight. Save money for the later rounds.

I actually hope we don't win the NRC, i'm starting to worry about Halifaxjohn.

Sorry missed this bit Hillsborough Lad is saving money for future rounds but hopes they don't win the cup.
