Quite the opposite in my opinion. In past seasons, we've COMPLETELY missed the point.
The club have run offers for games such as Quins, Crusaders, and Catalans, 3 teams where no matter how cheap the entrance is, you're only going to get a small coach load from said clubs. A half price ticket isn't going to attract 2000 Quins fans is it?! You could slash entry to a quid and you'd still only get a hand full of Catalans fans! We've been pinning our hopes on getting as many Wakefield fans as possible to these games, most of whom would be coming anyway but due to these 'great' offers, are only paying half the gate.
Don't you think that we would be better running these offers for home games against say Leeds and Castleford where there is a massive opportunity to get a full house? A half price ticket versus Quins might scrape us a gate of 4000, maybe 4500 on a sunny day, a half price ticket versus Leeds or Cas would more than likely get us 9000/10000.
It's not rocket science.
