Sounds like he's getting fed up from that and other stuff i've read and what he's said. He's right though, what more as a club can we do ?? only thing i can think is that crowds are so poor because of the weather and the economic climate and will maybe pick up when the weather changes.
I don't think the Good Friday result will have helped at all. Those seeing that will have just thought- "nowts changed" here comes the mid season slump. I reckon win the next three get into may in a good position and people will start to come back. Esp with towns current position and the Wendyball season coming to an end. Shame the CC has been moved to August.!
To me that reads as a grateful yet frustrated Ken Davy. He is right, this is arguably the most successful team since the team of all talents. Yes all it's missing is silverware, but we've been mighty close on a few occasions.
We all want much bigger crowds and if you look at the teams around us, they are all getting bigger crowds than us. We should be on or around 10k average. However doubling season ticket prices during an economic downturn was always going to make it a massive challenge. Still how do we compare price wise to Wigan, Wire, Leeds, Saints, Hull and Bradford?

similar comments in his write up in the match programme too, very disapointed with the hull fc attendance.
people are to interested in the football im afraid and the current financial climate isnt helping, we arent the only ones struggling with attendances this season.. bradford, castleford and widnes also not to mention london
The second half of last season definitely took the wind out of the sails of the fans and drained a lot of enthusiasm. Think also however that some fans are too quick to moan, think they know better and some even seem to actively search for topics to be negative about. I don't think any other fans are quite so keen to preach or whine about anything and everything and hold back the club. A bit of blind optimism would do us all a world of good, especially considering that most of us have never had it so good.
If London is Athens, Yorkshire is Sparta, a tougher community and proud of it.

Worrying reply. As I've said previously, the club is competing with a Championship team and limited disposable income. Double the Season Ticket prices and people will pick and choose. If the team can maintain some form as the weather warms up hopefully people will come back.
