| Quote ="Leyther_Matt"FFS, money isn't everything. You know what, I bloody loved being at our game yesterday - seeing 17 blokes bust a bloody gut to represent my town with pride. 1,500 fans going mental when Watson scored. Beer going everywhere, hugging random people - thought the roof was going to come off the place. You can't put a price on that. But becoming a feeder club would destroy those emotions. Do you think I or the other 1,501 people at the game last night would be even a fraction interested if we simply became Leigh Saints/Warriors/Wolves/City Reds? Not a chance.
I don't know why you support the club that you do, but you want a dose of reality and realise why people support the clubs that they do.'"
Well said Matt, right from the heart and i full agree.

I gave up taking any notice of Smokey a long time ago. He lives in his very own wonderland.

| Quote ="vikings 4 ever"But as it has been suggested previously, there are only about 4 or 5 true Super League quality clubs, the rest just so happen to be playing in Super League at the moment. You shove Celtic, Quins, Wakey, Salford, Huddersfield, Cas or even Hull KR in the 2nd tier for an extended period of time and their attendances and youth development will be poor.'" maybe so
Quote Becoming a feeder club would feel a bit like you have given up trying to get in to SL. Given that there are so many poor/average SL clubs, why should ambitious Championship clubs give up their dream? I'm not saying it should be easy to get into SL, but the threat of Championship clubs would keep the SL clubs on their toes.'"
again maybe so, but there are more clubs in the lower leagues than SL, if a club doesnt want to become a 'feeder' team it doesnt have to
but at what stage do you become a 'feeder' team? do you think of your team as a feeder team because of the players you have taken on loan from Wire this year? would a couple more Wire loanees made you think differently?
Quote 2009 is just a snapshot of how things are now - if anything below SL is just effectively cut-off, who knows what damage that will do in the future. Imagine if the licence system was brought in just a few years ago, Hull KR probably wouldn't even be in SL, never mind near the top. You have to have the opportunity to progress or the competition and the clubs will stagnate.'" you do have the opportunity to progress

| Yes mate there was.
The marketing team went all out for this one and were promoting the game for about 3-4 weeks prior. It was £10 a ticket and Diversity (winners of Britain's Got Talent) provided the half-time entertainment.
An excellent effort by the club and another reminder that if we can secure a nice new shiny stadium, the potential support is out there to get full houses on a regular basis.

But they are comfortably bigger than that for Academy games.
People don't want to watch second rate whether that has stars of the future or not.

| Great effort by the wakey club, if they can do this for celtic, surely (and no offence here) they could get 10k for the visit of saints/ wire etc. They also had a great Cup/league game offer v wigan if i remember correctly?

| with the addition of 2 poorly supported sides to SL this year its good to see the averages arent down that much.
total crowds will of course be much higher with the extra teams.
