Minus their two matches in Neath, the Crusaders averaged over 5,000, better than Salford and not far off Wakey if I recall correctly, and that is with the club only being in Wrexham for one year, plenty of heartland clubs have had around a century to develop their fan bases and their stadiums. As for Quins, the question was put to someone at the RFL and it's been emphatically stated that 'without London, I don't think we'd have Sky'. Sky never wanted a Yorksire & Lancashire league, hence when SL was started the plan was for several expansion teams to be included. Incidentally Halifax's attendances in Superleague were abysmal , so if you want to include them at the expense of London then you better be prepared to watch a semi-professional 'Superleague' with all our best talent heading off to Union.

Membership at Idle working mans club is highly sought after I'll have you know!

We've also got a place called Slack End (in Wibsey), not sure how many are happy to say they are from there either.

all you lot that slag off the quins have not got a clue whot is going on in london and the south do you not know its the fastist growing area for rl in the country. just look at the home grown players we have in our team ok our fans are small ill give you that but thay will grow

Quins will grow, Crusaders will grow, Catalans will grow.

Wakefield will go down due to obvious reasons.

Widnes will come up because Halifax don't have a youth system.

When? The fans haven't grown for bloody ages and I see no signs that they will to be honest. I'm not saying give up on Quins as there are other reasons why they are so important. And no doubt there are a few players starting to punch through from London now and make it in bigger sides. But I can't see any sign that the fanbase is ever going to increase and I think that's down to factors massively out of the club or sport's control.
