Friday night games were going to bring in hundreds of armchair football fans as Friday night games clashed with nothing and would leave the weekend free for all kinds of other things. I just can't understand it! People don't seem to want to leave the comfort zone of Sunday afternoons for all sorts of reasons. We have supporters not renewing their season tickets just because they can't get to games, because they work nights or lates on Fridays or because they live miles away. What a shower eh? They should embrace the change! :wink:


That seems a pretty good reason to me. If you can't get to games on a regular basis why on earth would you buy a season ticket? :?

I was being ironic. I spoke to the chairman after a game at the end of last season about this very subject because I knew several people who wouldn't be able to get to games and weren't going to renew their tickets. I suppose the powers that be at the club will sit down and discuss things at the end of the season regarding attendances etc.

IET, I'm a bit surprised about the atmosphere. The floodlights generally add something to evening games.

Maybe your right, but not an attendance that can sustain your squads wages.

Widnes should be getting 4k plus every single game irrespective IMHO.

Don't really want to get into the Friday/Sunday debate, but in terms of atmosphere, I'm sure no matter what day the Batley game was on the atmosphere was going to be poor. If we think back over the past 3 seasons in NL1, how many games have seen a great atmosphere? The odd game against Leigh, Castleford or Whitehaven?

To be honest as soon as the licence decision was made, the atmosphere was going to take a nose dive, even though in general it was pretty poor anyway.

The recession is certainly kicking in.

As for kicking, the likes of Leigh and Widnes will really get a kicking this season regarding averages year on year,

Widnes should still be top though, but other than the 4300 you got against us (and it was GF), I cannot see you topping that, unless some kind of deal is done when you play Fax.

Gee, Widnes v Leigh games used to be 6k + not too long ago. I'd be surprised if there is 2500 for the return game at LSV :cry:

That's our second best figure of the season so far, we had 5071 against Toulouse.






TF and the wire said of the Widnes Vikings....Best in the World.

A pint and a fight - A great British night.
