Yeah but Wakey are in a bit of an odd situation in as much as their season doesn't start until round 24.
The stupidity of the new structure is that a club gains nothing for going all out to try and scrape into the top 8 (and end their season early cos the 8th place team will have virtually 0 chance of making the top 4) because if it fails it starts the middle 8 in exactly the same position as a club that tanks the regular season, loses 23 games and finishes bottom. Similarly Leigh are flying in the Championship but this garners them no advantages for the middle 8.
Therefore the first 23 rounds may as well not be played as far as Wakefield are concerned and it's hard to sell that to anyone. If we were in that position I'd be pretty ambivalent about attending games as well. The reality is we have something to play for for 23 rounds, wakey don't. It's an embarrassment to the sport (the situation, not Wakey's crowds) and I'd hope after all the "Every Minute Matters" guff that the RFL and SKY have been spouting ever since the structure was announced someone is feeling pretty damned ashamed at this moment in time (not James Webster though cos he seems to be the only person with the brains to spot something that should've been blindingly obvious from the start). So it's no wonder they don't want to bring attention to the situation.
If the RFL had a brain cell between them instead of having the middle 8 playing starting level and having 7 fixtures with each team playing the other once, they would make it 8 fixtures with the Superleague teams playing the Championship teams home and away and points from the first 23 rounds BETWEEN THE 4 TEAMS FROM EACH DIVISION carrying over ie if Leigh win every game they start with 12 points, if Wakey lose every game they start with 0.
