Why don't we, just this once, try and get a crowd in. If fans have got a ticket to the Eng-Fra game, a season ticket for any club, book before the game and you get in for 3 quid, kids free. At the England-France game put a massive banner up promoting the offer, you might even get a few neutrals at the England game saying, I fancy that for a few quid.

Shared gate I think Batley would have to agree, as would the RFL to advertise at thier 'gig'.

I can't see why they would disagree, the more money made at the game, the more they earn too.

and if it doesnt attract a big crowd?



who's going to pay the clubs?

Thats an average of £9 lost for every paying specator (£16 adult + £8 child/2) - £3 admission fee.



Multiply 2000 spectators x £9 = £18,000



£18,000 divide by £3 admission fee = 6000 fans



It means mate that to get the same income for your promotion verses a normal 2000 gate you would need a crowd of 6000.



Nice idea but its got to make commercial sense!

Ok, leave it. When 1800 people turn up for a semi final on TV don't moan about it.

Think it would have to be a minimum of a fiver, but it's up to the club and us as fans to make a deal of this and make it a really big occasion. To be honest, I'm a lot more confident of that now than I was at Hilton Park.

Even if it were a fiver, i'd just get bums on seats. Even if it's kids get in for free with an England ticket.



3600 adults at a fiver (like Matt says) =18000

1800 people at an average of 9 quid =16200



Easy to make figures support your arguement.

Not knocking it pal just saying it has to be commercially sound, £10 and £5 with a family of 4 for £25 would be my drive!



All Batley fans in the south stand, family of four tickets initially for north west stand, any school/junior club promotions in east stand.



See no reason why we should not get at least 3500, no need to think low crowds on a Thursday night for the last 2 years they have been our biggest crowds.

Makes sense to me, Ste - think Batley should be reasonably receptive as well judging by the offers they had for the Catalans game.

£10 and £5 would be my call too. Plug it as much as possible at the England match as a 'special offer' and a big match and see if we can get some neutrals down. We should be aiming for 3000+ for this match.

We've no chance of plugging it at the England game and, with Leyth-tinted glasses off, I think that's probably the best thing for it. However, get some posters knocked up this week when the prices are confirmed and plaster the town with them.
