Wakefield Trinity • Re: What we currently look like for 2023
[quote="vastman"]From what I understand there was never a tax issue with the Glover era attendances. They were nominally accurate and I personally recall the crowds felt larger.
The issue as I understand it was that a huge number were simply not paying.
Grossly unfair on those that do. Whilst someone with a basic grasp of economics knows to disastrous.
I detest freeloaders with a passion. Not just because they rob the club of revenue but also because they have the audacity to moan more than anyone else.
I know one who threw his complimentary ticket onto the pitch after a narrow loss. Everything is wrong with this scenario but the stunning thing is he got in and didn’t even have to hand over his comp ticket! That’s how lax it was
The numbers recorded were pretty accurate.
The freebies and grossly miscalculated discounted season ticket sales, are mainly the reason why we got ourselves into the mire.
Again though, we were a top 8 side in 2012, and were o Ln the verge again in 2013, until players were released before the seasons end.
I got why it was done, licensing were doing the rounds and we were falling short on the average crowd "tick"
