Hetherington has gone on record on numerous occassions about how Leeds Rhinos have more fans from outside it's catchment area than any other club.

The team at Headingley, coincidentally from 2003, actually targetted fans from other areas to increase the gates. Cumbria and Northumerland give a high number of visitors to Headingley. I doubt that many of them will be Leeds United fans.

By contrast, Leeds United have previously gone on record has saying that over 20% of their supporter base is from Outside of Yorkshire and in the south of the country and Ireland.

I realised after writing that if you were selecting games rather than the season ticket it would fall between the 6-8 mark and not the 10 I originally said (I should of known really as I fall into the cherry pick category since moving to Hull), but it was late so was hoping noone would pick up on it.

Besides like I also mentioned we may be 10% behind last seasons sales but by the time we play our first game at HQ I bet that figure reduces to around 3-4%.

of = have

But the trouble is, Leeds Utd were already in trouble when that season of SL began. So while you base your argument on the Rhinos already having an increase in attendance, the fact that Utd were sinking when the season starts suggests you've already got an influx from Elland Road long before May

Yet in 2003/2004 Leeds utd averaged just under 37k in a 40k capacity stadium.

There must be some more straws they can grasp in this argument surely ?
