Quote: thickorthin "It’s ironic. One could say Saints and Wigan are actually the most narrow minded of all of SL. They were at the forefront of the split with the RFL, the appointment of Robert Elstone, and now cutting the league down to 10 so they can have more TV money. Wigan and Saints need less influence on the game because they are the ones causing damage.
Saints are top of the league but can’t sell their ground week in week out? Yet other teams get slandered for their support?'"
I,m thinking the other way round its the lower clubs that are holding back the growth of Superleague, those clubs have vetoed some of the expansion ideas and instead of the standard of the lower clubs coming up to the top 4 clubs the game is stagnated .
Saints will never sell out their ground because their is very little away support, Huddersfield Giants 4th in the league only brought 95 fans last night and most of the other lower clubs are similar 100 to 200 fans and that includes Leeds as well. There is also the fact that SKY can show games on Thurs-Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon and then you have C4 joining the party.
