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.

We are going to need a sticky for all the troll unveiling done here in recent times.

We should be on commission, DM.

Currently but haven't over a season.
I'll place £20, thats a lot in your poor country Dal that Saints won't average 15,000 next year. Why dont you put money where your very large mouth is?

I'll also wager that Warrington won't expand to 22,000
I'll also wager that Wigan won't average 18,000 this season
I'll also wager against any other of the ridiculous stupid claims you've made

Did you wager on your bullshy te claim about my intelligence which I buried, rah rah?

A rah rah and a welcher to boot...

Your stalking is really getting quite sad.
It's quite pathetic that you follow me round these forums post afterpost after post. I might request to the mods that peoples posting history are blocked.
The claim on your intelligence hasn't been buried but questioned even more after every post you follow around these forums.

You're like a sick puppy who won't leave it's owner.

Can I help it if you post defending union in every thread it appears?

Stand up and applaud the welching troll...

i didnt say saints would average 15,000 next year dunce

i said they would average 15,000 in their new stadium, easily.

as i said before, if you want to comment on a clubs crowds, knowing what they currently are helps

otherwise you just look like you do now!

Watch out Dally.

He is a known welcher.

i think hes getting a bit emotional so ill leave him alone.

i dont want to take the poor guys money, he needs it.

He has had a hard day having to revisit the Kangaroos v Wallabies thread...

At the moment he is lying down in a dark room mumbling "The horror..." like Marlon Brando at the end of Apocalypse Now.
