Not to worry. It'll only be their 12 consecutive loss of the season.

so the crowd will be 1000 from Wakefield & 800 from Celtic.

They have only had four home games in Super League and clearly their OFFICIAL attendances appear not to support the move to promote them

Hull – 5,272
Saints – 6,352
Quinns -3,009
Cas – 2,857

Are you sure?

Compared to Harlequins so far (who've had much longer in SL) they're not bad figures. I'm not sure we'd hit the 5,000 mark if we went up. If at the end of a successful season we're still struggling to hit the 3,000 mark i think an application in 2011 seems doomed to be knocked back.

To be fair, the first two games were against the clubs most likely to bring away, (cept for the million that KR would bring!). The last two are indicators of their support and how it is dropping away, not great eh...........

Come on one was the clubs first ever SL game I bet they give hundreds if not a thousand or more tickets away.
You honestly believe their crowd figures anyway after our visit last year???

Nah if a new club on the wave of enthusiasm and loads of publicity cannot get decent crowds then they never will imo.

I'm merely suggesting that we cannot knock anyone's crowd figures until we bring our own up to a decent level.

INFLATED crowd figures thats my gripe mate.
We do it at times (the Sky games I believe you can claim for the tickets given by Sky as some form of compensation) but not to the same degree as the new boys.
I don't believe all I read in other words, said it before you can put what crowd you liek really, you only pay VAT on PAYING speccies.

I dunno Rich, its like saying you cant comment on Super League until 'Fax make it back there.

I think the sensible RL supporter knows that what has happend with Celtic is a bloody farce. In fact throw London and Catalan into the equation as well. Sensible growth - like HRLFC are currently doing - is the way to strengthen the game and not throw teams in at the deep end.

No, you dont win, but you get a ticket for entering

Will the RFL be sending some free tickets down Donny way like they have Celts?!!!
Answers on a postcard please !!!

Catalan appear to be doing very well in terms of crowds though.

wonder whether these 1000 tickets will automatically be included within the crowd figure that is announced?

Well they have to be counted for health and safety and ground capacity reasons. Just like if you give tickets away or tickets are purchased prior to a game but not used. They are potential entrants and so cannot sell more then you are allowed in capacity terms.

I meant with regards to fast tracking them through to SL.

Fair enough, I don't agree with how they were fast tracked but at least they're being succesful.

Catalans are in RL territory so I have no problem with them apart from no away support for obvious reasons and year on year expensive away game to get to but I don't agree that there should be another French team, one is enough.

I still don't understand the obsession with expanding abroad. Fair enough expand away in the UK, but why not create a European tournament similar to the Heineken Cup in Rugby Union or the Champions League for football? As long as it was made into a lucrative competition financially i'm sure the top teams would love the opportunity to travel into Europe and have the chance of being named European champions

Yes there is the issue with there being too many games but i don't think it would be too much of a problem to just extend the season by a few weeks, then again it is the RFL. This will probably get shot down by everyone but oh well!

[size=150Oi[/size!!! stop speaking common sense!

Yea. The RFL will hunt you down and make you watch the B***s if you don't watch it!

Top post, well said mate

Because they reckon the English will just hammer everyone else and it'll be so one sided no one will watch. I couldn't disagree more, I for one would love it.

Do the Aussies bother???
Nah.

Well exactly. We'd all go to watch but apparently everyone else would lose interest. We won't know for sure unless we try.
