Just been watching Jeremy Kyle with the other half

& an advert for Warrington market came on. Only about 20 seconds long but the main feature of the advert was your very own mascot.

Just wondered if anybody else had seen it, even though it was only short was good to see something from RL on the tv.

If Warrington market can afford an advert during that god awful programme (I hope you washed your eyes with bleach afterwards!) surely the club can. Would be good to see us get some proper advertising going, like Wigan do with 'the big one'. We should be getting much bigger crowds than we are at present.

Whilst I agree about the Demestos eye 'bath' and the proposition that we should be getting better crowds, do you think that TV advertising would have put anything on the gate yesterday?

Granted it was an 'extra' game and hardly top notch opposition and I think that you might be talking about better advertsing/marketing generally, but, the crowd was poor despite lower admission prices

I was thinking more generally tbh. Yesterday was always going to be a hard sell based on the fact it was perceived by most as a drawn conclusion and many expect us to progress to the final with ease. For SL games though I think we should be getting a lot more through the gates. As I have said on here several times in the past the club is yet to infiltrate the 'new town' areas of Warrington, particularly in the west and south.

I agree, but, also sadly, I think that we may have lost one or two 'old timers' along the way, due to a combination of apathy and economics. If we can't show up en masse now, then when will be a good time?

I don't blame the club either, as it's not just our club that seems to be suffering but the game in general.

dont understand it at all we've got loads of moaners complaining about meaningless league games but the chance to watch a one off all or nothing knockout game against a side that have often been a bit of a bogey side for us and we only get half our normal gate....

it kind of knocks the meaningless game theory in the pooper......

My theory is that a lot of people decide to stop going/go less because they don't want to spend the money/would rather go to the pub/rather sit at home and watch soccerball/there's not enough drum led community singing (delete as appropriate) but don't want to say that is the reason. So they play the 'meaningless 27 rounds of friendlies' line. Their loss.

its strange that we are about to restructure Superleague when We will get 11,000 on a friday night for Hull next week which many will say will be just a warm up for the play offs as both sides will be sure to make the top eight.

Its the Challenge cup we need to restructure superleague looks to be in good shape.

season ticket holders don't like having to pay for early round cup games...

thats the cause.

That's all it is. A large amount of supporters only travel to one or two away games a year at most, and pay for their season ticket before Christmas so having to pay for a game doesn't sit well with them. Same with the play offs (which are also poorly attended knock out games).

you also get alot of families that buy their season tickets around christmas.... on cup day games, finding the additional £50-£100 for the day is alot of money, especially as most of them are saving for summer holidays and other such things.

spend £100 and take the wife and kids to watch a thrashing... or save the money for something else.... bit of a no brainer really.

Kids tickets were free for season ticket holders and adult tickets bought in advance were much less than SL games. So a family of 2 adults plus as many kids as you have could have sat in the East Stand for £35. If you like RL then that's great value - bit of a no brainer really. Yet not many decided to take advantage for some reason. I certainly did, trading our normal spots in the South Stand for padded seats and a great view in the East.
