Do you not think Leeds Rhinos are actively chasing these groups and if Leeds Utd struggle to get 30k Leeds Rhinos have no chance for a regular season game given the relative popularity of both games

So your great marketing plan is to give stuff away for cheap or free God I'm glad your not in charge of Leeds's marketing. Did you come up with Hudds cheap season tickets a few years back that as soon as they went saw no improvement in crowd numbers?

Huddersfield giants attendances have grown vastly over the last decade or so.

2006 it was around 5,500 average. They did cheap tickets a few years back and got up to around 7,500. They were back down to around 5,500 last year.

That's a massive increase over the last decade. Hats off and well done to all at Huddersfield.

Indeed a roughly 30% increase because of that terrible idea

But the whole point of that idea is that the new fans you've attracted with cheap tickets will then stay, they clearly didn't as attendances dropped back down to previous. So the idea failed in its main objective.

How does going from average crowds of aprox 5500 to average crowds or aprox 5500 in 10 years, equate to a 30% increase?
