Could I throw in the fact that it isn't cheap to watch
Premiership rugby these days. £30 for the cheapest ticket at
Quins is sure to put some people off.
I must add that I'm not here to protest that it's too expensive,
but this surely must be a factor in more empty seats than usual?

I agree. Then add £100 for travel and F&B and it is an expensive
day out.

Absolutely agree, it's the cost. Not so many families in the
South stand as there have been in previous years. Could also be
that there wasn't a big game at Twickenham to kick the season
off, I think there is an afterglow from that event, even though
I don't enjoy it much.

so with no LDH this year bet attendance for the league is going
to be down a quite a few thousand over last year. Always a bit
flakey the first few games of the season getting over summer
vacations, has there been an official release on membership
numbers, I must have missed dit.

Nah no news on membership, assume it's down, why wouldn't it be
after the last two years. Gustard appointment was v close to the
deadline, lots of people may have decided it's not worth the
cost after sitting through that rubbish.
A fair few people have vanished from around us in the middle of
the west stand over the last two years. Seats behind us now
appear to be owned by a corporate, seats in front used to be
season ticket but this year are avail on match-by-match.

Hence the total lack of any atmosphere
the last thing most want at a sports event is a load of
screaming kids and a child running onto the pitch with his
parents doing a high five when he was returned to them

You're back are you? We've missed you. Have you tried Twitter?
You'd fit right in.

There are 8 seats that used to be taken by ST holders who have
not returned this season.
I personally know 7 people who did not renew.
For me it is 2 hours from the door of my house to the stoop -
for the first time since I started going which was in 2001 I am
seriously wondering whether or not to bother to go next home
game - or many others.
I do not expect my team to win every week and did not miss when
we were relegated, however just watching the same thing for 3
seasons has finally broken me.
If things do not improve I and the 3 guys I have been going with
for many years will not renew.
