[quote="Fred Gee"]It was a disgraceful attendance. Do not know what rugby fans of Wakefield want. The team are playing as well as can be expected in the face of such adversity, only one defeat.

The club need to market matches alot better than the trailers at either end of the city and the odd poster round town.

It does not take a genius to work out that the attendance would be lower due to tv, one off promotional prices should have been offered to attract more fans.

Warrington fans should hold their heads in shame the amount of fans they brought.

Does the club get money above and beyond the annual money from Sky as football teams do ? I know when they covered the football conference clubs got arond 5k to cover the cost of losing fans who stay at home and watch it on tv.

At the end of the day though if you have sky and are paying anywhere in the region of £30-55 a month by not going last night pays a good portion of that months bill.[/quote]


Solutions not problems, very easy to say marketing but if you have better ideas share your thoughts on here. People know that the Wildcats are playing but what do you want the club to do drag them him.

The club have discounted junior season tickets and work hard in the promotion of the club and if you think a couple of wins attracts crowds then your very much mistaken

We employ people who allegedly have qualifications / experience in marketing and business it should not be up to me or you !!!

but here are a few ideas
1. Kids for a quid with a paying adult.
2. Purchase so many tickets ie four home matches get one free.
3. More posters banners around town.
4. Players going round schools during the season free tickets/quids for a kid if they bring an adult.
5.Promoting matches in the media, radio newspapers.
6. Lower the admission prices

Plus there is no way they brought over a thousand !!!

I know we've had this discussion on here before but Friday night games are a nonsense in terms of maximising attendances. A lot of people just can't make it at that time (or don't want to be still driving home at midnight). And surely Friday night @ 8:00pm is not the best KO time if we want to attract the most youngsters. If we are targeting marketing at the younger age group (and I think we should) then a bit of joined up thinking is needed - no Friday games unless we have no choice because of SKY.

There will certainly be a lot more than what you brought. On reflection though I suppose 400 isnt that bad for the cr@p rugby your team is turning out. :lol:

Whilst not entirely agreeing with Fred, we're high up in the league, playing some great rugby and it's still early days in the league. Wouldn't say a season ticket offer marketed the right way encourage some of those who were on the ropes to purchase one after a highly encouraging start?

Strike while the iron is hot?
