I have only managed to get to two games this season. The first away game and the first home game.

Since then i have hurt my back which resulted in me not being able to stand for more than 10 mins.



I am now much better and was really looking forward to getting back down.



I have not been happy with the DR scheme at all as i firmly believe it has a detrimental effect on the leagues below SL.



I now see that Lee Briers is going to be playing for Swinton on Thur night.



I really dont see any future in the game of rugby league below SL. With no P/R the game is dying.

Two weeks ago Tyrone McCarthy played for Warrington against us, last week he played for Swinton against Barrow and next Sunday he could play for Castleford against Hull KR - beam me up Scotty, this Rugby League planet is silly!

Average home league attendance last season 1066

Average home league attendance this season so far 707

Percentage drop in attendance 33.7%



I think a lot of people including myself have asked the same question. Our board and boards across the Championship need to take these hard facts to the RFL and end this madness.

£9.99 per month = 1 live championship game per week

8 live NRL games per week

also 3 x State of origin, City v Country, All NRL playoffs and Final, Australia V New Zealand, All the Championship play offs and Final, Northern Rail Finals , plus all the 2013 Rugby league World Cup.



£28 ( assuming 2 home games) per month = 2 poor games and nothing to play for.



Perhaps there may be a clue there?

Yet another highly positive and motivational thread Jim !!

£30.00 for two home games. Are you sure your a rugby league fan, seems to me your just a tv fan

There is simply no comparison between watching a game on TV and watching it live.



Before I first came to a game at Cougars I had watched RL on TV and although I enjoyed it, it did not make me want to go to a game.



That all changed after my first live game - the action is so much more personal and exciting and the interaction with the rest of the crowd makes it a much more social event.



PS I thought you weren't going to post again

Maybe some of us can see the wood for the trees.

If I had time and money I would travel to watch more rugby league at one of my more local clubs as well as watching Keighley. I watch some games on premier sports but it doesn't compare to being there live.... plus as much as I appreciate the quality of NRL I'd much rather watch a couple of local amateur teams battling things out on a muddy pitch and support my local community.

Swinton got over 1,000 yesterday as they had a £5 offer on and Lee Briers playing!. I don't think we can say without further information that the low attendances are just down to the dual reg debacle. The continued austerity and, for our team specifically, a loss of high profile players will explain some of the attrition.



It just shows what a bit of innovation will do in terms of swelling the attendances. I get the impression that our board have budgeted for x amount of £15 entry fees and will not budge on that price. I'd be interested to see if we get any increase when Bradford City have finished their season?
