WIDNES VIKINGS CHAMPIONSHIP FAREWELL TOUR 2011 17th April Mount Pleasant, Batley 25th April The Furness Heating Component Stadium, Barrow 15th May Tetleys Stadium, Dewsbury 21st May The Big Fellas Stadium, Featherstone 12th June Huntington Stadium, York 3rd July South Leeds Stadium, Hunslet 23rd July Arnaune Stadium, Toulouse (France) 14th August Shay Stadium, Halifax:11261.gif

Quote: Ste100Centurions "The SL clubs are unlikely to achieve their 2015 average since their average is boosted by games against "bigger" clubs.

Leigh will probably get some crowds in excess of their average but I doubt games against Widnes and Salford are going to hugely increase Bradfords crowds and I don't think Fax or Sheffield are capable of increasing their average that much'"


Just can't agree with that..

Both Leigh & Bradford travel in considerable numbers & will take 3 > 4,000 to most away venues.
Bradford will double Wakefields home average on their visit, Leigh will double Salfords home average & increase on Widnes home average.
Halifax will blow their home averages to bits in all their home fixtures & have a smaller increase in travelling numbers.

This only leaves Sheffield who really do not have many fans at all, they will see a smaller marginal increase to home gates but hardly contribute at all on away days.

I think it is fair to say that we might see some 10k + crowds at both Leigh & Bradford who together make every other club *with the exception of KR* look insignificant in terms of fan base.'"


Widnes have an insignificant fan base? That is very harsh.

We've had a better home and away attendance than Leigh for as long as I can remember and a lot of that time we were in the same division. Don't get carried away with talk of 10k crowds.

Quote: meast "point still stands though, regardless of how many glory hunting tosspots buggered off when the crap hit the fan at odsal, our crowds have improved more than any other rugby league team since 2000


Love it. Bradford go from champions to relegation, crowds decrease you call their fans glory seeking tosspots. Huddersfield go from championship team to winning the league, and an increase in crowds is down to hard work from club and nothing to so with glory seeking.

As you're praising your club for increasing it's crowds (which you should do) I'd be interested to know your opinion of those fans who are watching your team now you're a top super league team, who weren't watching when you were a championship team...

Hull Kr is a good shout it's probably a close call between us.

Bull Mania, how can Huddersfield have attracted glory supporters when we haven't won a major trophy for 60 years? the crowds had actually gone up significantly before our LLS year.

i said at the time it was a big boast to make, it appears i was right.

i'm sure however 3-4,000 leigh fans will make up for it.

Hmmm, yes. icon_surprised.gifops:

It appears I was a little over zealous in my estimations with that post.
If I do have a defence though, Bradford were the only Club to travel to Leigh in significantly large numbers, about 3,000, whereas Leigh took over 4,000 to Wire for the CC QF.
Hull KR, who I expected to travel in big numbers were in fact much less in number than I imagined, not knocking KR, they had other factors most likely affecting their decisions to travel or not, not least the cost of attending the CC Final.

Salfords away attendance at Leigh was very poor & I fully expect us Leigh fans to be much larger in number at the ECCLES Council House tomorrow.

icon_thumb.gif fair play ste, if Bradford and Leigh manage to get on track and maybe beat a SL team then maybe, but i doubt any team will take 4,000 to an away game.
