It might have helped if the Saints fans had turned up.

Proving what I've always known. That they are glory hunters who at the first sign of the trophies drying up are like rats leaving a sinking ship.

I look forward to them being crap for a number of years.

The only 2 teams that would fill Old Trafford are Leeds and Wigan

...which just happen to be the teams I predict will be there next year

Grand Final Attendances:

24-Oct-98 ..... SL 3 - GF ..... Wigan V Leeds ..... 43,533
09-Oct-99 ..... SL 4 - GF ..... Bradford V St Helens ..... 50,717
14-Oct-00 ..... SL 5 - GF ..... St Helens V Wigan ..... 58,132
13-Oct-01 ..... SL 6 - GF ..... Bradford V Wigan ..... 60,164
19-Oct-02 ..... SL 7 - GF ..... Bradford V St Helens ..... 61,138
18-Oct-03 ..... SL 8 - GF ..... Bradford V Wigan ..... 65,537
16-Oct-04 ..... SL 9 - GF ..... Bradford V Leeds ..... 65,547
15-Oct-05 ..... SL 10 - GF ..... Bradford V Leeds ..... 65,728
14-Oct-06 ..... SL 11 - GF ..... St Helens V Hull ..... 72,582
13-Oct-07 ..... SL 12 - GF ..... St Helens V Leeds ..... 71,352
04-Oct-08 ..... SL 13 - GF ..... St Helens V Leeds ..... 68,810
10-Oct-09 ..... SL 14 - GF ..... Leeds V St Helens ..... 63,259

Wonder how many Leeds fans have attended all Grand Finals they have played in ?

I'll start the list...

1. Me

Not with that up and coming dynamic prop they have signed, I expect Saints to be better than ever........................

So what year was the record attendance and who was playing?

Fingers crossed we get there next year

Not a great attendance. There was a poor Saints turnout, that much was clear to see.

However, this, coupled with the attendances at the playoffs should have the RFL thinking hard.

There is too much for fans to shell out for between August and November, especially in this financial climate.

Well with abit of luck and not much injuries i dont see why we will not be able to compete next year.

And we could fill the ground along with Leeds or Wigan.

So you keep saying, and we still dont care.

Not too sure, I wasnt aware that any of the grounds in Hull were that capable of hosting a large capacity game?

Well said!

Would prefer that at Wembley though
