In Springfield, they're eating the dogs, the people that came in. They're eating the cats! They're eating the pets!:18686.jpg |

Poor junior development  .
Yes Hull need some recognition, presumably playing to a full cap, yet performing like they average about 3000 fans. |

I love this city,
this is my town.
We get a week out, without a doubt,
gunna sing it out loud.

Wakefield have one of the best junior development systems in SL!
Anyone that doubts it should look at their own SL squad and see how many wakie born/trained players you actually have. If we could hold on to our youngsters (which we will when we have our new ground) we will be up there! Just like our Young Wildcats!

Not really We are playing boring rugby and the negativity about the stadium has filtered through the whole club. And to that that we've got nothing to play for and many fans just can't be bothered.
Think this thread is a week early anyway. Should've waited til next week when we pull in 2500 vs Catalans.

Any thoughts about why Leigh can't summon similar crowds...or is it a lost cause? |

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 |

We've not had those sort of crowds ever in this league , we were getting around the 2500/3000 mark back in 2001
But several close shaves resulted in disolousionment and we were down to 1800 when we eventually won promotion 2004
Now we have the new stadium , but it has been a big disappointment , the timing has been wrong as well with the ending of automatic promotion losing a few hundred
Will Basil's return help build up the ave's again ? , possibly but we wont be troubling SL again unless some clubs implode |

But then again comparing Cas attendances in the big games in 2007, to Widnes now is not a fair comparison. When Cas were in NL1 it was all about promotion and relegation - the final being dubbed as the million pound game (when in fact it was probably worth many times that amount).
I think its a fairly safe bet that if Cas had been out of SL for a period of 4 consecutive years and were also on the 1st year of at least 3 years of non promotion, they wouldn't be getting the crowds that they got back in 2007.

I'm loving this push by Widnes going into the whole franchise fight.
Widnes - We'll Be Just As Crap!

put widnes up there with those big clubs. hudds too. these are clubs that can average 10,000, spend the full salary cap and become strong teams |
