Ignoring discounts for concessions & early booking and extras for posh seats, parking, free program, beer, pies & parking for proper people what level do you think is reasonable for a standard adult entry to a championship league match.

Yep. £20 seems a reasonable starting point

Costs more for a stand seat in most grounds - £20 seems a bit too much for standing in the rain! It's a delicate balance. Clubs have to try to balance the books, but over charge and it'll put people off. ------------- *Stalwart |

It was clear that we needed to move to a more central location to attract bigger crowds. That's why we fought for over 10 years to get the stadium built in Truro. We had a season in Truro many years ago at a temporary stadium and the crowds were very big (also we had a very strong and successful team). That wasn't sustainable. We had a few seasons in Camborne and crowds were very good there - but not playing at your own ground is problematical, and again couldn't be sustained. We have our core support in Penzance, but it's a long way from places like Launceston and Bodmin and many of the "floating" supporters won't make the journey. To be fair Cornwall is very depressed financially and, if you are struggling to pay the bills one of the first things to cut out is spending money on is things like going to rugby. ------------- *Stalwart |

Hmm, you may call yourselves the Cornish Pirates, but when push comes to shove you are Penzance and Newlyn RFC, and every Cornishman will realise this. Launceston tried calling themselves the Cornish All Blacks, much good that did them. Moving out of your home territory will inevitably be a risky business, just ask Wasps and London Irish. ------------- "What I need is a strong drink and a peer group" |

I completely agree. I paid £235 for the mens last year if I remember correctly, and I've seen some of the other Women's Premiership teams asking £100 for seated season tickets.

The fact is that when we moved up to a more central location the crowds were bigger. We did, and still do, get a lot of people who support their local team but come and watch The Pirates - which is why we opted for a lot of Sunday games. At the last home game I was chatting to a lovely group of young people who had come from St Agnes. This thread is about the cost of watching rugby, and it shows the delicate balance that has to be struck. It's probably fair to say that people who support, and buy tickets, for their local club will not be so inclined to pay out a substantial amount to watch another game at the weekend in the present climate. ------------- *Stalwart |

Agreed. I'd add the proviso that IF the ground isn't suitable for BT Sport then that club receive less TV income until the ground meets modern TV crew requirements.

Which is what happens in SuperLeague. Though at this point we should probably gloss over the self-reinforcing problem that IIRC clubs with substandard grounds (basically Castleford and Wakefield Trinity) also get less central funding because of it when really there's a case that they should have more. ------------- keep the faith |

I was surprised when I found out what the majority of Championship players earn. It’s hardly surprising lots find the lure of match fees and working a better proposition ------------- So many Christians not enough Lions |

On the flip side if a ground can't host BT Sport it means Austin Healey won't be turning up which should boost the crowd!

thinking back to when Welsh were in Oxford, I think (not exhaustive): - ability to mount multiple high level cameras - room for a couple of outside broadcast trucks up close to the pitch - indoor fully glazed pitch-facing commentary box - big screen for replays and TMOs (I've got it in mind this was a cost to the club each time rather than something they provided) - stadium clock linked to the referees whistle and the big screen (this was almost definitely a direct cost to the club, and pretty eye watering) Essentially the club got/gets money from being on television, but some of that goes straight back out again to pay for the infrastructure to be on television. ------------- keep the faith |

| Going down a level Richmond in NL1 appear to be charging £22 to stand (£25 to sit) next season. A little cheaper if you book online in advance but not everyone is able to do that for various reasons. To me this pricing structure doesn't encourage casual supporters. Certainly not after the first visit when they discover the prices! |

I believe Cambridge will be charging £20 for ground admission, including free parking and a digital programme. Tickets can be purchased on-line, or on the gate. We only have a few seats, and those are mainly reserved for debenture holders and visiting VIPs. I believe that if there are spaces, these can be purchased for a small fee.I cannot remember what that is, as I have a debenture - I think it was £5. I would recommend the pre-match lunches, but these sell out, so book early. There will be burgers and hog roast available for those not dining, as well as three bars and a coffee stall. The season ticket is £200, we have however capped or reduced the playing members subs. ------------- Sweeney Delenda Est |

I am looking forward to returning to Cambridge ........last time I was there I had a great lunch with the quality of the food matched by the attractiveness of my dining companions which included an extremely attractive lady called Sabine. I sat in the stand and listened to the pre match banter from some Cambridge folk who clearly thought Caldy's tight head prop Derek Salisbury was only likely to last 20 minutes or so. I advised them that Degsy would play the full 80 and would probably demolish the Cambridge scrum and cause havoc in the loose........it was so good to be proved right. Last season Caldy's online advance price was £10 and at the gate price was £15....from memory kids were free .....to be honest I thought it was unbelievable value for an afternoon's entertainment. The Wirral public did as well, the average home gate was 1,500+

Launceston were known informally as the Cornish AB for years before the relaunch. I totally concur with your other points nonetheless.. Improving Cornish sides ( Camborne & St. Austell) may also have had an effect on Cornish P's dwindling attendances. ------------- Colin Richards |
