During the current franchised, 14 club, top 8 play-off system SL era... the total attendances in SL to date remain the lowest we have ever witnessed. Neither the replacement of the poorly-supported Crusaders with the better-supported Widnes, or the establishment of 2 new stadia, or the re-establishment of heavily-discounted SL tickets have prevented 2013 SL attendances from being the worst on record so far.

I'm more than happy for you to carry on, it has led one of your moronic acolytes into being liable for £100 payment to a worthy cause. Please carry on, your agenda pushing may actually achieve something worthwhile, for once you may have actually stumbled upon a use.

and it seems to have kept you busy from making anti-Semitic jokes or mocking the holocaust + when it finishes we will be in the now annual keithswiftcorn/bill eve/ap 'never posting on here again, please everyone ask me to stay' attention seeking period of the year, and that's always fun to watch! It's win-win-win

Wow! That's some CHOMP right there Smokey.

Always a pleasure to witness you having to resort to getting all personal.

This thread has OWNED you



Keep it up

if that's what you need to tell yourself and your other Internet personas it's all good with me, if 'bites' are what make you feel good about yourself that's pretty sad but £100 is pretty likely to be going to St Gemma's hospice and I think we should all feel good about that.

psssst.............

you forgot to mention the £11 adult ticket deal at wakefield tonight.
only fair seen as you mentioned our £5 offer for Catalans ( which no one knew about until the day before)

If you were really that enthusiastic about charitable good causes and feel good factors, you'd have taken me up on my bet which countered your assertion that SL was on course in 2013 to record the second highest ever attendances in RL history.

That £100 bet is still on offer BTW (no gutless 5% safety net applies here).

Deal?

Or are you still too gutless because you might lose £100 to a charitable cause?

OTY Smokey

I wasn't aware of that offer otherwise I'd have most definitely recorded it. Made no difference anyway. In fact both Huddersfield and Wakefield attendances were down on last years attendance for the same fixture despite the cheap ticket offers.

I'm happy to just match RLbandits donation when he makes it anyway.St Gemma's do fantastic work. So why not, perhaps we will be lucky and see a donation from yourself aswell

Ohhh, second in the league, I’ve been waiting all my life to see ‘em win something

TBH, I thought Billy had

I cannot believe that. Is the new ground syndrome wearing off at Salford ? What is putting people off from going ? It must be a drop-off in away supporters IMO.

I think it's the fact they nearly didn't have a 2013 season.

I'm sure a Salford fan will confirm/clarify but from what I remember reading, season tickets either didn't go on sale or were only available towards the end of January? That can't have helped.

I don't think it's away fans or new ground wearing off really.

Good luck to the Dr for next year because it will take more than a handful of half decent players to get those lost fans back!

Going to games is habit that takes a few years to develop..........and getting back these lapsed supporters will be a real struggle for the marketing team there.
