Unfortunately, that's where we are. Offer cheap tickets where the least appealiing thing - almost an afterthought - is what's happening on the pitch.

One constructive thing we could do is have a kicking competition. Whoever wins takes any conversion attempts (probably won’t be many but let’s be fair this season we haven’t looked like we could hit a cow’s booty with a banjo so a competent replacement would be a win).

Back in the day, if you were successful you won a car. What would you choose: Broncos contract or a hatchback? (I'd go for the hatchback.)

As of 9.30am NZ time Friday Morning
109-107 showing 113 sold
106 showing 132 sold
105 showing 86 sold
104 showing 12 sold
103 showing 64
102 showing 86
101 showing 29
522 tickets sold.......
Couple of things....
1. Well done the club. Late, they may be, but leaflets need to be dropped every bluddy week to have any impact, so let's hope they have a plan to keep this activity up.
2. Counting 109-107 and evaluating "uptake" is a false activity. 107 is normally the 2nd most popular section anyway after 106 and a lot of fans would have picked this game to return as it represents the best chance of a win....but keep leaflet dropping.
3. Has anyone taken up the offer of an upgrade to the gold Lounge? If so...please take some snaps with your phone and show us how they other half live, because this area will be key to whether Hughes carries on ploughing money into the club.

522 sold by Friday morning makes me think 700 is about where we can expect to land after walk ups etc.....733 is what we got for the Rams in our promotion season, so further proof (if it were needed) of the folly that was the move to Wimbledon.
4. Has anyone who was banned on social media tried to contact the club? I asked publicly on Twitter if they'd consider lifting the Monkey Bans and haven't had any response....I still can't comment or even leave an emoji on Facebook....and thank christ Monkey is gone, because he's be apoplectic at the comments there after the Leigh game :lol: :lol:

This is D-Day for the club. We don't have the luxury of Dunkirk and a re-set.....if we lose this, then 25% of the regulars won't be back and we don't have any more than 500 of those, so crowds as low as 2021 will be on the cards by seasons end.....the team need to step up.

I contacted them via email a while back (I think when they were promoting the Bradford game) saying I would not come to a game until Twitter block was removed. No response.






Gus Mackay we salute you!!

Leaflets were done regularly at Ealing in SL.
Players handed them out at underground stations and 15,000 were house dropped in Ealing, Richmond, Twickenham, Wimbledon, Hanwell and Greenford. It was bring a flyer for free entry.
This was done on 75% of home games. The most flyers redeemed on any one day was 11.
Why try something that hasn’t worked before?
Double headers including community clubs were good. Kids bring parents, grandparents and other family members.
The Leeds home game in 2019 was the biggest crowd that season. That day we had community games and others playing before the first team.

Didn't even bother contacting them to ask.
Won't bother coming back whatsoever.

By all accounts hatchback would be worth much more.

That’s a depressing stat Ben. It does show for all the incompetence shown that it is a challenge to get people in. I trust they are taking advice from people knowledgeable in this type of thing.
