That would happen the moment we enter SL. We averaged around 7,000 fans the last time we were in SL. And that was with a poor team heading for relegation.

Has he?

everyone can get bigger attendances in super league.

dont have the actuall figures but am sure we will have been avaerageing 5k a week in super league.

Yes, we would all increase our attendances in SL. I'm not sure what your point is?

My point was in answer to "Off! Number Seven", who stated that we would need to add an extra 2-3 thousand in SL to be sustainable. I assumed he was not talking about getting an extra 2-3 thousand while still in the Championship. that would mean we'd have to average 6,500 and no club in this league will ever achieve this. That would be impossible. Several, existing, SL clubs don't even get that average. So it must be a total for SL. As such, as I pointed out, we averaged that last time in SL, and would almost certainly do so again. Ergo, we should meet his target of 2-3 thousand easily.

Yes faxstatic mate.More away fans which is obvious with big clubs like leeds,saints,wigan,hull,warrington etc.Only a few teams bring poor away support.The frogs and the welsh minibus.You also get fans who only watch top tier rugby and is a better market in superleague.

naa misunderstood what had been written in the previous messages,

just been through them my mistake misunderstood what was being said.

Oh yea of little faith

It would, and you know it!

Having no promotion will guarantee it stays that way too.

Somebody said , it couldn't be done and he with a chuckle replied

Maybe it couldn't but he would be one who wouldn't say so till he had tried

So he started right in with a trace of a grin , on his face if he worried , he hid it

He started to sing as he tackled the thing that couldn't be done

And he did it

2000 - 5,500-ish
2001 - 4,800-ish
2002 - 4,000-ish
2003 - 3,000-ish

4,200 average over 4 years.

well that was then, a new wave of enthusiasm in the town if super league was at the shay would put attendances up around 5,000 well i hope.

Still 3/4,000 below what is needed

Even Edgar Guest couldn't get 6,500 through a Championship sides turnstyle every week, and quoting him won't help either.

I have known the bit I quoted for years but never the rest or who's quote it was

Thanks for that

No problem. You didn't quite quote it properly, but I knew which one it was. Here's the rest of it.

It couldn't be done:

when things have been going wrong

Yes his words.

Very interesting story that, Starbug. I assume it worked for you?

However, Martin Luther King and President Kennedy couldn't inspire people to turn up to a lower league sport like RL that play in an ever impoverished league, which is in the process of becoming nothing more than a feeder club league for SL clubs, and which has clubs that have no chance of ever being promoted solely through the sport they play itself.

Only the RFL can put good people who run these clubs in a position to achieve big crowds in this division, but they seem to be doing their damnedest to undermine them all at the moment.

Really?

When and where did he say that then?

In Vikingman's tiny little fantasy world.

STFU Rich ya troll.

One of the player of the month awards a few months back, dont know if it was tongue in cheek but i would imagine it to be true.

What a load of crap


You've got Jiffy disease mate

I have heard him intimate that he wouldn't take further rejection lying down. But that's a bit vague really, isn't it?

I haven't heard SOC state out-right that he would take the RFL to court.

Nope i was there you plum.


And how dare you associate me with Jiffylube.


Im disgusted by your vile comments.
