OK then I'll rephrase - we should be actively trying to attract both, and can't afford to ignore/neglect/turn away either

And before somebody says it again I do know that this is not the clubs responsibility, however it's in everybody's interests so all parties should see it as a joint responsibility.

It will take time, but one thing I do know is if we play entertaining rugby the fans will come to watch.
because we played so well and lost to Fev away, more made to trip to Swinton to watch on Sunday. If the games had been reversed then not many would have gone to Fev you may say.

Absolutely.

Some need to know there's a team of tryers. Some need limited success to feel fulfilled. Others won't come back until we're in with a shout of winning Super League.

It seems that NK is building a brand of rugby based on solid effort and local talent. History would show that this is a brand favoured by the Leigh public.

Just like building the performances of the team, though, the crowds should improve steadily.

All in all it seems like there's a sustainable plan on the pitch for the first time in ages. Once the brand of rugby is solidly established the club should promote this heavily.
