yeah and im guessing you werent there.

just imagine wigan / saints with 3 times as many fans.

best RL atmos ive ever experienced.

You need to go on a road trip with the FC.

But suggesting rovers play at the KC??
You just dont get it do you

Not a dig this, but on the basis there were 2000 less than capacity for rovers games against St Helens, why would rovers want to spend money they don't have extending craven park?

I accidentally bumped into her at Toys r' us in Warrington the other week. She was backing a pram off the display and I walked into her.

Maybe because the 2,000 left on capacity were of poor quality and will attract no new fans?

True.

Exactly the same at Warrington.
We might not shift all the 25 quid tickets but we could certainly shift more if the south stand was a bigger terrace

that's what stevie g used to think, but he knows better now.........

becasue those 2000 players were in our terrible Sth stand and no on ein their right mind would walk up and choose to end up in there. Plenty of people will if they know they are likely to be able to get into teh east stand on game day.

Makes me laugh that Rovers fans called Hell out of the FC fans for refusing to go in the South stand for the derby but yet the South stand is used as the excuse/reason why Rovers dont get more home fans

From memory, am I right in thinking that the capacity of that south terrace is about 1200-1500? it doesn't go the full width of the pitch and is approximately 10-12 steps high. Point is, there were still places in other parts of craven park for people to attend.

Again, this is not a dig, but I can't see why rovers would spend money they don't have extending a stand when there is not yet a demand.

Saints could help bump up the average this season a little me thinks. The games against Wire and Wigoon are heading for 17,500 crowds.

East stand and West stand are always sold out. The Well also usually sells out prior to game. usually only walk up places are behind the sticks (way behind in the sth stands case!) with no cover. For many this does effect there decision to rock up to a game or not on the day. East stand (remember we have a number of grants to do it so not costing us alot) will allow for more people to walk up and give away fans a better opportunity to stand under cover along the side.

what's the betting you fill it this year, maybe because you actually have a chance of winning this season? Fickle the lot of you, in any kind of weather my ar5e!

thats pretty good for saints.

cant wait for their new stadium

history is great but KR seriously is an embarrasment for one of the top English RL clubs

With rovers attendances this season already down from last season, perhaps we are going to see the return of just the rovers hard core of 2000 going to games like we saw just 4 years ago



Of course, the upping of the ticket price by 70% for the derby match for the south terrace was nothing at all to do with the boycott

nah the embarrasement of another certain defeat was and you know it!

SL average would be pretty bloody good with those last two teams dragging it down.

How did Wire manage to get more for the Crusaders game than they did for the Bradford game?

I think they were running a promotion. I believe they are doing this against teams who aren't likely to bring the largest away support. i.e Crusaders, Quins etc

Crusaders had a vey healthy following id go as far as saying more than Bradford did?

Apart from Round 1, there has been a 3,000> crowd every round. Not really good for the competition.

Have Catalans began the extension work anyway? A bit unusual for them to have a sub 7k crowd, but I do recall hearing that capacity will be 7k when the work starts.

Imapct of TV games on attendances?
