Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg
Quote: gutterfax "The funding issue is one thing. The Cap is a totally different kettle of fish, because if you don't have the same cap across all 3 divisions, then you do not have a snowballs chance in hell of seeing a top 4 championship club with a 1 million cap beating a bottom 4 SL club with twice that to spend.....and beating them twice at that. Also, do you open the door for Championship clubs to have as many overseas imports as the SL clubs?
Fev's owner has said they are ready for SL......when he has to fund the clubs shortfall in income to get to the 2.5 million in income needed to spend to the 1 million cap, will he still think they are ready? Even worse, if he does fund this shortfall and they finish top of the Championship but then miss out on promotion, how keen is he going to be to repeat this procedure?
London have a full 1.85M + London weighting in their cap this year and they will get beaten 27 times........this BRAVE NEW WORLD is simply closing the door on promotion using finances to do so, but opening the one on relegation for badly managed SL clubs.'"
Oh believe me I am not all ' starry eyed ' at this new structure, unlike many other Championship clubs fans, I am fully aware of how difficult it could be and the consequences of it not happening how it has been sold
But hey ho, all we can do is watch and see what happens, it might even get me down to a game or two

The Wigan away attendance there will have been massively affected by Sky, last year they went to Huddersfield on a Saturday, this year was a Thursday. Thursday games are shocking for away attendances.

Out of interest, how can they acutally work that figure out when both sets of fans were in the same stand and most of the Salford fans I went with paid on the gate?
Edit - and indeed, the year before most I know bought through Hudds to get a £10 ticket offer.

exactly! that is the difference, had it been on a sunday those missing 900+ wouldn't have been missing.
we have had some shocking turnouts on thursdays this year.
as for the salford figures, those are estimated based on ticket sales and walk ups. this year salford sold just over 200 pre sold tickets and the club estimate that another 50 paid on the gate and how many seats they took up ( most of you were sat together in the one area), as for last year, then that is an estimation too, 48 pre sold tickets plus extra's on the day/groupon vouchers. obviously they aren't exact figures, just as with london and catalan, it's just guesswork
by my reckoning there was probably a good 20 or so catalan fans and i saw only 5/6 london fans.
Quote: William Eve "Source for Hull KR attendances [i"Sunday’s match against Catalan Dragons was the club’s last on home soil in 2014"[/i
Correct so far... well done Hull KR.
[i"and took the total number of supporters passing through the turnstiles through the 106,000 barrier"[/i
Regular season figure was 102,022 as confirmed by their very own official website. Oh, I see... they want to include the attendance of 4,911 against Warrington in the Challenge Cup? Ok... that takes the total attendance to 106,933 so yes... the number of supporters (if you decide to include the CC fixture) has passed through the 106,000 barrier.
But how many passed through the turnstiles last year? Hmmmm.....
