| We still have brilliant attendances. It would be great if we could have an atmosphere like that every week though.

| To be honest I was glad to see us win in front of a big crowd. I'm sure we have lost more than we have won when we have had big crowds at the JJB/DW

| The problem is that most super league games are one sided and boring. The quality is also pretty low. Todays game was exciting and great spectacle however the quality from both teams was in fits and spurts rather than for most of the game. Get the quality back in the game and crowds will grow - however a competition that according to Eddie Hemmings is the most unpredicatble ever isn't going to get the crowds week in week out as the games are generally low in quality. Eddie was nearly creaming himself over the Crusaders result despite the probable fact that the game was probably pretty poor and low in quality.

And watched by barely 3,000 spectators. Terrible crowds, administration, relocation and a Welsh youth development infrastructure that isn't ready to support a SL club - the Crusaders for now have to go.
Wakefield and Crusaders out, Widnes and Halifax in.

| I ain't been in attendance as much this season and last season because of university, It is amazing to see it packed like that but I can understand why some people don't attend certain games. It's mostly been away matches in Yorkshire for me the past year and a bit but I try and get to as many home games as possible when I'm here.

Well done Billy Big B0ll0cks, thank you for your loyal support. Maybe some fans cannot make the other games? If you look at Hull FC game for example, if they have an away like Saints did today then its easily 20000+.
What es me off, is people calling 'Bandwagoners'! These are the fans we need to get 20000+ attendances each week. I was glad we won today because it will encourage most of the fans who came to return in the future. But dont underestimate the power of the bandwagoner, look at Warrington for example...

That's the Soopah Doopah League for you. Don't get me wrong, the commitment and fitness levels on display yesterday were superb and there were many promising young players on the field but really the quality wasn't very high, both teams looked disjointed and not capable of playing well other than in 10 min bursts. If unpredictability of results is what people want then the problem is that people who aren't die-hard RL fans aren't interested in level playing fields of mediocrity, they want to watch a high quality product and we won't attract the RL fan who comes to the odd game to attend more matches or get new fans interested in RL with the low quality fare on offer.

Warrington's bandwagon is a quite a bit smaller than Wigan's, though. It's more of a bandtaxi...

And what exactly would Halifax - within spitting distance of Huddersfield and Bradford, no youth policy, poor financial history, currently bottom of the league, offer Super League?

For us, going to a live game is a family day/night out, meaning 2 adults and at least 2 kids, maybe 3 if my eldest comes too. It's not something we can afford to do most weeks so we're usually crowded round the telly or radio together on other weeks. The big games are the obvious choice for fans who can't go every week. Sorry if we aren't up to your standard oh superfan. Great way to turn a sellout into a negative eh?

So what? Who in their right mind would bring friends or family that are new to the sport to games against Catalans or Wakefield? They would never come back!
Wigan also have more fans nationwide than people realise who can't get to all the games and therefore have to pick and choose which they go to.
But thanks for being such a great fan.

you sir are a knob,the kind of fan I detest the most..You may see yourself as some kind of superfan but slagging off people who don't attend every game(for whatever reason)doesn't improve the image of the club or yourself

| People come out with all sorts of reasons why they cant attend more than 2 games a season (saints & wire) work etc etc etc all these are terrible excuses and nothiing more. a true fan of any sport is someone who puts their @rses on the seats in the stadium of their teams through the good and bad times against not so glamourous opposition not just jumping on a bandwagon for 2 glamour games a year because the weathers good or because its a bank holiday

Your one-eyed view is barely worthy of comment, but if that is your only gripe after yesterday your life must be rather good.....

A true fan doesn't insult other fans for not coming to a game, you clearly are a kid who doesn't understand how much it can cost to attend games especially for families.
