9857_1341488583.jpg WEST COAST PIRATES
NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_9857.jpg |

| Easy when you are a one team town. When there are 3 or 4 pro sports teams in the city then it is even more impressive to get good crowds. In this respect surely Hull with its avg of 40+ thousand sports fans must be up there?

| I've changed my mind since page 1 to 'I really don't care.'
That is all.

394,269 according to this rllinkrl.
Of course not everyone who goes to watch will not be from Manchester, just as not everyone who goes to watch Cas will be from within the towns boundaries. Maybe a more accurate reflection would be to guesstimate the total population of the towns around Castleford (Pontefract, Normanton, Knottingley) and then compare that as percentage.

I Believe that there is more people outside Cas follow Cas than the people who live in Cas around my end Batley and Dewsbury there are loads of Cas fans and other places you named in matter fact i think the suport in Cas is very fickle at the moment seam to go when were winning.

Cant be beaten imo this one.
think its something like 115% that one, shame you beat me to it, i used to live there n all, first thing i thought of
Also the figures in the original link are wrong, it says warry have a population of 80'000, warringtons is at least double and probably not far off triple, there's easily 80'000 this side of town.
If widnes were in SL they'd be close to the cas figure, what about the cowboys in aus? or a few of the sydney based suburbs?

| Quote: Wellsy13 "Villa Park holds more people than the population of Aston. I think they win on that account when it comes to sport in general.
But the whole stat is pointless. As has already been mentioned, clubs' catchment areas are not exclusively the population of the name of their club. And on the flip side, an area might be too big to claim the full population as its catchment area. You cannot compare Castleford to Harlequins by saying "population of Cas vs London" as it is ridiculous. How big is London? Do you expect people to come from one side of London to the other?
It may just be a stat, but it is completely and utterly pointless for them two reasons.'"
no you dont...its the population of cas v's population of harliquins

Castleford is in a town of its own, just in the brough of wakeield.
Castleford, hightown, glasshoughton,whitwood, three lane ends, airdale is CASTLEFORD

Aston is a place of its own, i'd say so anyway.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

But the're not are they ?
