We will see when they play a few games at Widnes.

I think there might be a bloody great big terrace all down one side or something.

so saints in a new ground will average 900 more fans than they currently get at KR

the 2 sides are seated, the 2 ends are terracing.

The scum and the civilised seggregated properly. Will the 2 ends also come with fencing and barbed wire?

when warr are here we will need it.

I haven't the figures, haven't even looked but I'm almost certain Saints haven't averaged over 12,000 any year recently, too many 8-9k attendances

Just over 11k in 2009, 10740 in 2008.

Having a bigger capacity for the local derbies will put their average up without necessarily having to find any new fans.

have a look at their current average you drop kick

Inflated by the sell out for warrington due to the last season at KR.

Our season average is normally 8-9k

More union trollery.

When was the last season Saints averaged less than 9K?

Saints v Warrington got over 17000 last season too. Or are "your" club just inflating the average by insisting on playing Wire every season?

for an aussie hes trying his best

whens the last time saints had 2 sellouts in a regular season?

i think they got 1 sellout last year but i remember times when the wigan / saints derby got 13,000 at kr.

it shows the progress the clubs made

its a shame the new ground is only 18,000 they will be hitting capacity fairly quickly

A nice steady increase.
But they've no chance of hitting 15,000 average next year as the new capacity isn't THAT much higher than the current one.
Can you see masses of people travelling from Wakefield on a friday night just because its a shiny new stadium? I can't

next season will be spent almost entirely in Widnes anyway, so we could be looking at around 6k as an average.

No, but there are tons of people who won't go now because of the ground. A lot of Saints fans go on their own because of the facilities, in a nice shiny ground they would probably take the family.

Look at the Hull and Warrington increases following their moves. The Wire for example increased their average by 41%. A similar increase for the Saints would see an average of 15,785 using last season as the 'before' figure.

Having said that your statement is correct. We won't average 15,000 next season. We'll be playing at Widnes for most of it so probably won't get above 6,000.

the new capacity is 18,000

according to dico st helens are spending 10s of millions of pounds to increase their crowds 900 from their current level

Which is only 500 higher than the current capacity of KR.

Whats interesting though is that over the last 3 years Saints crowds have increased whilst Leeds' have decreased

It might be because the league is tougher overall, and games where you're not sure of the outcome can be much more appealing than "oh, we're going to batter x again this weekend. Ho-hum."

I bet Dally was claiming that Crusaders would average 10,000 after one game weren't you plonker, lets see the average at the end of the season when they've played Quins or Catalans etc and all fixtures are complete

What constitutes "our"?

The Waraturds or the Farce?

keep digging that hole.

at least youve now learned what saints are currently averaging

this help when commenting on their crowds.
