Gates are more influenced by what happens around the game, and whether the club is successful.'"
Fair point. |

Consistent evidence comprehensively proves that the top 3 driving factors for attendences in SL at any given moment in time are: the overall "buzz" surrounding the game itself, the innate interest in RL in the area and the quality of facilities at the stadium. On-field performance is a minor factor. Fact. |

Daniel Anderson took millwards entertainers and turned then into defenders. Yes there was still plenty of entertainment left in the players then, but he started the shift to boring rugby. Potter took it further, Simmons never got chance to do anything other than fight injurys, rush has steadied the ship. I see nothing from brown to suggest he will play entertaining rugby |

Anderson added steel and structure, we were still entertaining and more importantly winning. Under Plodder we were so dreadful I was close to not renewing my season ticket |

At their peak did you not think Hudds played entertaining rugby? I thought they played some stunning stuff. |

They challenged the Goons for the title of the greatest grapplers. |

| Quote SomersetSaint="SomersetSaint"Can anyone really link entertaining rugby to gates?'" Saracens just convinced 41,000 people to go to wemblely to watch a regular league game against Leicester. The result was a stunning 9 all draw (that's 3 penalties each).
No, brand of rugby is down the list on what get's people through the gates, I reckon. |
