Attempted trolling - poor effort.

This year no freebie versus Catalans + more televised games + every other W Yorks club posting a fall. It is actually very positive.

But counter that with your most successful year for quite a few - the challenge cup run and a very good league position would suggest that you actually haven't managed to attract that many new suppporters (or glory hunters etc...)

I am merely wondering what will happen now that your season tickets are back to more market levels for next year.

No, you are merely a troll.

Our crowd levels are up, our performances are up. EOS.

And our gates are up when virtually all others are down. And we have had more sky games (this hits us harder than many clubs as we have to move the day and time of our games).

Sorry if understanding all the figures does not fit your trolling thesis, but there you go.

Your final comment illustrates your ignorance. First there is not a single 'market rate' for STs. An absurd comment. Second you seem to have no idea what our prices are in 2010..is a £60 or £95 ST what you mean by 'market rate'. Somehow I doubt it.

You have got to laugh. Now someone finds fault with us because our rising crowds are not rising quick enough. Yet clubs with falling gates are not visited by this guy

I'd be more worried that you cannot count

YES GET IT RIGHT STEVE 88 NOT 81

Everybody seems to forget that we have two extra teams in the league. It pushes the average attendance down further because the attendance against those teams (celtic and salford) are below our average!

So to have an increased figure on last year is great!

Spot on, now we need someone with magic calculator to work out what the average gates are excluding Celtic and Salford.

without the celtic and salford games our average would be 8,948!

there are a few factors which hasn't helped our crowds, mainly friday nights etc
hull kr 6,346
castleford 6,010

were both friday night games played in apalling conditions, a regular sunday afternoon game would have seen 7,500 minimum for both games

bradford 7,982 friday night in poor conditions, with no more than 1000 away fans, normally bradford would bring at least 2,000 supporters if that was on a sunday,so i reckon we could have potentially pulled in 9,000 for that
also we've had 6 homes games that weren't played on our normal game time of 3pm sundays,how many other clubs can say this?

but, the biggest thing for me is that we finished the regular season above 11 other teamsregardless of how many season tickets we "gave away"

Thought Bradford was a sunday eveing kick off for you?
