| Quote Derwent="Derwent"Last week Leighton Samuel himself said that he had put in £745k so far this season just to keep the club operating. Extrapolate that and he's looking at maybe £1.5m for the season. He also professed his disappointment at season ticket sales (less than 250 sold), failure to attract corporate hospitality and the general lack of interest locally (low take-up of free admission vouchers etc).
Make of that what you will.'"
Whoa! You can't argue with the numbers. That is some serious cash in a short space of time.
This development game is a marathon, not a sprint though.

| Give it time to grow
They have a few years to go and with it being the Union off season they may, MAY attract a few of them now. It takes time and there is very little in the way of league around them, a few good wins, a bit of positive publicity and it will improve I am sure. The ground is ok, lets face it any ground named Brewery field is off on the ebst foot with RL supporters.
I would be more concerned with Londons gates then Celtic at the moment, but then again they are building up.

| it was a mistake to let them in super league, at least three more years building in the lower league was needed, the only advantage they have got from entering superleague is the sky money, look at what happened to huddersfield after being stuck at the bottom of the league, they took years (and a relegation) to recover

| It is a poor gate but people have to give them a chance which is why 3years for them is a good thing i feel. (even though im not fully behind the franchise idea) Could anyone tell me what there gates were when they were winning games in nl1?

The thing is though that it is at the discretion of one man whether it gets that time or not. If Leighton Samuel runs out of money or patience then it's game over. Not a great situation to be in really.

| Less than 250 season tickets sold? most championship teams beat that, and a few hammer it

| I want a SL side in Wales, consisting of a core of Welshmen.
CC do not tick any boxes in convincing me they are that side. Poor ground, no fans, small town and packed full of tourists from Down Under.
The RFL have made a monumental cock up again, I wonder if a gun was held to their head??
Wales may be ready in 5 years, at Cardiff or Swansea though.

| Quote Therailwayendisuponus.="Therailwayendisuponus."They are bottom of the league, only success will bring the crowds in. Which will come I am sure, with Mr Money bags behind them! They have not even completed a full season in SL. Give em a bloody chance.
Don't forget Wakie wouldn't have taken many, they can hardly get fans in when they are at home never mind miles away.'"
We took a good number down and at short notice as well in a month that has included games in Scotland and London. Was a really enjoyable experience and I look forward to going next year. Am sure given time that their crowds will increase.

And how many other clubs wouldn't if their benefactor did the same?

More interference from the WRU from what I recall.

Believe it or not but our average attendance is nearly 1,000 above that of quins in competitive home games this year.
This will only increase too, in my opinion, with the visit of Wigan, KR and the Leeds game at Rodney Parade, Newport.

Spot on.
The WRU actually bought him out and then wound the club up spreading the players around the remaining regions. All this despite LS asking for assurances that this wouldn't happen.
