Re: What can the club do to improve attendances? : Fri Feb 28, 2014 11:48 am  
Hi peeps, l have to agree with most of the points that our long lost fan "Rupert bear" has put on here, every season going way back we have had concerns about falling attendances, But in my opinion we need to stop looking at ourselves ( the club, the players, the fans)n that's not where the problem is, the issues are with the whole of the structure of rugby league, everything is centred around SL, but even the big clubs are struggling so the lower leagues have no chance. We have to stop looking over our shoulders at rugby union and making comparison we will never compete with them at club or international level. The rugby football league attendances across the board are poor terrestrial TV coverage is non existent. sky only care about SL.
The RFL are responsible for OUR demise not the club or the fans.
Rant over going to the pub, I will be there Sunday and l recruited a new fan last week who had a great day and is coming again this week..

Somewhere in Bonny Donny (Twinned with Krakatoa in 1883).

War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

Thank God I'm an atheist.

Well I am at the Knights tomorrow, so I will review the facilities and compare them with the experience at the Dons.

Good stuff S-O. Can you print off a few flyers and hand them out at the game? Only kidding. Looking forward to hearing what you make of it.

Thought i would put in my two penneth, i know some won't like it but here goes, the club needs to have something to capture the imagination of young kids, something they can identify with. I thought Doncaster Dragons was a good name, and a good marketing opportunity, just badly done at the time. Something needs to be done, we are all aware of that, the club cannot rely on an ageing fan base, it needs younger people to get involved, so give them something that they can talk and get excited about, and gives the club an opportunity to cash in on merchandise that kids want to wear etc. Just my thoughts.

"Rugby League is a simple game played by simple people. Rugby union is a complex game played by w*nkers" - Laurie Daley

I can tell you what won't help. Been today and found out that the bar upstairs is open to season ticket holders only from the official start of the season. Well that's one punter less as I'm not getting my massively overpriced half time pint from the dinghy bars on the concourse. I have to work some weekends so a season ticket isn't viable, but when I do attend I want to spend my hard earned in a nice comfortable setting. It's not as if the bar is ever heaving anyway!
Who the fook thinks up these ideas? You couldn't make it up.

Car Park one is also now only for Pass Holders (not the same as season tickets) which is a pity as its the nearest Car Park to the main East Side entrance. PS the burger from the concourse wouldn't have been allowed in had I brought it - deemed a dangerous heavy object..
