Celebrating 25 years service to the Rugby League Community! |
| GF no offence but you might as well quit calling it ESL - in reality it's not been the European Super League since 1997, and 13 British teams + 1 French is hardly a 'European' league. Expansion will never take off like some hoped, time to face the truth I'm afraid. Keighley or York for SL 2013.

Quote: The Chronicler of Chiswic "As far as attendance figures are concerned, on Friday the gate given out for Saints - Wigan was 17980, 20 short of the official capacity of Langtree Park. To my eyes there were a damn sight more than 20 empty seats in the stand opposite the cameras alone and yet, funnily enough, I haven't read any comments about this.'" That was down to health and safety restrictions or whatever as tickets were like gold dust having been sold out 2/3 weeks in advance.

As the gaps were dotted about the place, you're probably nearer the truth - being RL that didn't occur to me. I was talking to a Stoke supporter at Wrexham yesterday (!) who said that when it's a televised game there some supporters watch it on the TVs in the concourse as you're not allowed to take alcohol back to the seats.
