Quote: Wildthing "So it was actually a rhetorical question then?'"

It wasn't intended to be.

I was really putting emphasis on the "home" support levels. In SL if a crowd of 6,000 turn up you kinda expect a large number of those will include away supporters.

Pre season friendlies between Toulouse and Catalans draw in around 4-5000 fans [ home and away fans ] , but the cold keeps a lot of fans at home in France. They tend to come out in the summer when it's warm and RU is not being played.

So the number seemed really good to me. And i think that could grow over the next 4 home games to maybe 3,500- 4,000. If Toulouse make the League 1 home final I'd expect support from all Clubs to come along so, a figure of 7-10,000 is possible. But Stade Ernest-Argelès only has 4000 seats, so a move out to a ground like Stade Michel Bendichou ( Colomiers ) with a capacity of 11,000 might be the go.

If they get that far there will be a lot of interest and publicity via the TV and press, plus RL circles

Anyway, one step at a time.

Hull has always being one of the leading areas both in innovation and trialling radio/tv/telephone services.
Back in the early 80s when we were having one of our few spells in our history of actually winning stuff our attendances went from strength to strength 82/83 we had 15x 10,000+ attendances and 14 the following year. Certainly the aggregate and av home attendance records were broken since the two division formation.

Can you imagine now the hordes that used to come through the gates back in the sports heyday of the 30s/40s/50s every week, get your head around a semi final of the challenge cup attracting almost 70,000 fans!
