5k is where we were in the post-admin phase of last year when Catalans came. Most of the others, outside the first two pre-admin home games of the season (about 8k each), were around 6k. The only real outlier is the 10k for the home game.



We hit the hardcore support last year, and bar a few poor weather poor crowds have retained them this year. By my measure that's a success. A sign of what's possible when there's some of yer KPMG approved jeopardy in a game is the 9k for the Leigh game.



If I were a betting man I would say we'd lose about 500 off that 5k figure if we don't go up.

That is, of course, entirely untrue. There is clear correlation between the league we are in and the attendances that we have, but it is not necessarily material given other observable trends. I suggest somebody performs some principal component analysis to find the real truth of the matter. Going by the linear trend from 2012-2014 (because I'm too lazy to find the 2015 home average gate), my main concern is how we are going to survive on gates of -405 in 2017.

We need to look at this problem in a new way - allow fans to attend for free, but charge them for not attending





With the definition of fan being anyone who attended a Bulls match in the SL era, serves those Glory Hunters right!

You seem a really interesting man. Can we be friends?

I have it on good authority that this constitutes you being "pwned", and that apparently it is not a good thing

It may not have been the perfect season, and there have been hair-tearing weeks and games, but taken overall, it has been a fantastic, positive, feelgood, successful season and everyone bar you seems to agree that comparing last year and this is like chalk and cheese. Last year - doom, gloom, and disaster on disaster; this year, all sorts of pluses but a winning team, a successful season so far, thrashing Salford, beating Leigh in the crunch match away, and making the million pound game has been great. We have felt good about going to the games again. Except you. And that is your inalienable right.





A fact is a fact. It doesn't have the capability to be "absurd" or anything else. It just "is". You just don't seem to like the facts, probably because they make a nonsense of your claim. But facts they remain. If non-one liked them, they wouldn't care.

Post on behalf of friend who has no account but wanted to add his 2p worth:



Jean Phillipe Baille was one of the better Bulls players against 'Fax.



He played well and has also borrowed Fairbank's 'tache.

I don't think we will completely lose many fans. But quite a few will be more selective about which games they attend, less fussed about the non competitive fixtures.

That's excellent even by your size 14 standards.

Referring to yourself as 'we' and 'everyone' suggests a condition. When you (or everyone if prefer) present nonsense as 'facts' and 'evidence' then the pretence, or delusion in your case, becomes absurd.



We (you and I that is, not the plural of FA) don't agree. As in hold different views. Try and relax more.

As a fully paid up member of the Corbyn's army, I don't think it would be appropriate to fraternise with the likes of you.

Sounds like you're colleagues [if not 'friends' already!
