Why? This is why Widnes should be in SL. If they had a team as good as Saints have now, they would fill their ground. Saints fans are spoilled.

1) poor opposition
2) zero away fans
3) terrible performance last week
4) general dissatisfaction with the club over the stadium development, and lack of news about where we are playing next year
5) school holidays
6) facilities at Knowsley Road putting people off
7) not playing in the normal Friday night slot

but, we are still in the top 3or4 for average crowds this year - so not too concerned about things as they are. And Widnes fans will be able to watch SL rugby next year anyway, so they dont need their own team.

Poor opposition? Just like the poor opposition that's bottom of the league that beat you last week? Don't blame Harlequins because one of the most successful clubs in RL history 'the entertainers' can't generate 10000 fans. School holidays? Facilities at Knowsley Road have been there for quite a while, so unless Saints fans have gone right up their own @rses I can't see why that would matter.

Might just beat the 14 team record, but I don't think we'll get near 90k.

Because Saints fans are used to the Saints way. Exciting, enterprising, off the cuff rugby. "Just like watching Brazil" and all that.

What we've been subjected to in recent seasons is quite the opposite philosophy and a lot of Potter's reign has been pure torture.

Despite the relative success compared with other clubs, the mood around KR is very depressed. No positivity at all.. It's not a club with a clear direction with a figurehead leader.

Want to swap positions? Saints fans don't know how good they've had it.

What without all the cas fans? i doubt it somehow.

Personally i think there a better case for the two hulls merging

Is there going to be 23 or 24k at Wigan/Warrington?

No, it'll be around 17k in reality. A lot of Wiganers are getting bored again now they are all conquering and can't possibly lose. A lot of Warrington fans are now so convinced that they are going to win every trophy for the next decade that they are saving their money for Old Trafford instead.

With unreserved seating dont they have to leave a certain amount of seats free for H&S?
i'd expect about 22k

Mouth - Soap

I think Wigan-Wire has sold around 22500 up to now. H&S reduces the capacity for some bizarre reason.
