Why should they?

If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.

Of the top of my head: A low crowd expected. Perfect chance to get local kids interested. Many kids will bring a paying adult. Kid with free ticket and paying adult likely to buy food, drink maybe even merchandise at game. Possibility of newcomers liking what they see and returning as paying customers.

it's a win win situation that generates short and long term support. Definately should be hammering the local schools with free tickets.

No. The current strategy of good discounts for wrexham season ticket holders and rugby union players, club members etc is working. Over 4k tickets sold is better pre-sales then for almost any other game last season, and thats with very few (but very welcome) away fans. Don't undervalue the product.

I don't think it is tbh.
What Crusaders need is a unique selling point for each game. They have that for this one with Gareth Thomas and if they can get up above 5k, then they will have retained the same number of home fans they had for the Hull game.
Upcoming games against Hudds and Quins might be when to bring in ticket promotions. I just hope when the numbers go down for future games people won't hit them with a load of negative publicity. The initial curiosity and big away support were key reasons for large crowds at the start so a decrease will happen. But they maintain a core base of around 5k to start with, they'll have done very well. What they've done already deserves great credit.

over 6000 is a excellent attendance for the game, thats better than some of the more established superleague clubs would get, so hats off to your guys, and congratulations on another win.
