Quote: wrencat1873 "Their first 4 games last season were 8413, 8252, 9495, 8471 which means that, for whatever reason they are down over 1000 per game (on average)
If this were to carry on they become the 2nd lowest support in SL ??? this assmes that Widnes dont start to drop too many and that Broncos dont have a surge in supporter numbers.
Of course, the vast majority of their support is home based fans, but does this begin to raise any questions ?
BTW, I think they add great value to SL, so i'm just playing devils advocate.'"
These stats just aren't true, their first 4 games last year were,
Wakefield, 7,500
St Helens, 7,095
Salford, 7,156
Hull 8,025.
Seeing as though you would expect Saints to be a big game this is no problem. They clearly get less when they start the year. It was the same in 2010:
St Helens, 7,825
Castleford, 6,810
Hull KR, 6,513
Leeds, 8,230
