As will more home fans.

Saints fans always moan and say the JJB has no atmosphere and is lifeless. What do you think it will be like at your new ground?

Dunno, dunno.

However, your point on home fans, I refer you back to an earlier post I made.

Some people have to get 3 (yes 3!) buses from their local stop to Saints. People also moan about the parking. They moan even before they get there.

Saints' studied this at great length prior to the 08 season. The made strides to kill such apathy, but as it is, KR just isn't an enticing prospect to spend all day fannying about to get to.

The new stadium will invigorate the town's interest.

I actually doubt there will be that big of an increase in away fans. Yourselves and Wire will travel well, what ever. The Hull clubs enjoy a chance to scrap between themselves in another town. The only sides I can actually bothering to travel to Saints any better are Leeds.

We moan the Wigan fans have no atmosphere and are lifeless...

Aye, but not at Central Park, the same will happen to Saints. You'll be playing in a place that will never feel quite like 'home'.

I think the difference for us will be we know we need this, and I would hazard any one not wanting to move is bordering on the next appointment in God's waiting room.

Are the figures 'seasonally adjusted'? Our average crowd is about 800 lower than our lowest crowd!!! Shurely shome mishtake!
TIP - If you're attempting to have a pop at another club you must do your research otherwise you just look plain silly!

Depends on how many they gave away, though it will have an effect.

There weren't that many though as we asked about one for Elizabeth (just in case we deceided to take her to any matches) and they had none left. That was only a couple of weeks after the announcement.



The big difference is that you were forced to leave Central Park, almost all Saints fans realise that we need a new ground.

added to this is that is our stadium, owned by the club not a rental.

our new stadium will be 'home' though - we all want it, it will be all ours and we wont be lodgers.

That is a good point. For various reasons Wigan fans didn't take to the JJB immediately, and there is plenty of resentment there now due to recent actions by Whelan, however clubs like Warrington have fully embraced their move to a new stadium, and I'm sure Saints would be the same.

did i see the rhinos were on top of the table?!

Yes. Only a person who has the brain power of an under developed plankton would argue otherwise.

No You don't!!!!

Our lowest attendance this year is higher than what that average says!!!!!

And seeing as the Attendance "Stats" are nearly 2500 under what they actually are I would get some facts right before having a go at Wigan!!!!!!!!!!!
I make our average around 13,800 on those figures AND

PS

After last night I make wigans "Average" just under 14,000!!!!!!
Nearly 3000 more than Saints!
