Some on the Saints board are predicting that there will only be around 60k there tomorrow. If so it will be the lowest since 2000. Maybe the familiarity of a Leeds/Saints final is the main reason. Thoughts?

Along with the credit crunch maybe.

Reminds me of what Saints and Wigan fans said about the crowd at Wembley.'If two of the big four had been there....'

Not going to see the saints fans kicking off again after getting beat. Maybe the no marks who only turn up for the big events won't be going, or they'll be at the EDL demonstration?

It does clash with Ukraine v England at 17.15.

Poor excuse if you're a Saints or Leeds fan. Poor excuse if you're a RL fan.

And what wonderful tv channel is that on?????

It is on the radio. Or it will be on the internet station that I can't say without getting a warning.

rubbish, we got told in august quite clearly that the challenge cup would have been a total and complete sell out should saints and leeds have got there.

yea let the excuses begin we had to travel 200 miles plus they have to go approx 10 and 60 respectively

You can't seriously think that the GF would be half filled by supporters from each of the two competing teams? Wembley wasn't for sure.

Perhaps Leeds & Saints might at a push bring upto 15-20000 each and the rest is a balance from other RL fans. Maybe it's that people are also being asked to pay out for Four Nations tickets soon that's affected the uptake from the 'neutral' supporter, general apathy because it's the same 2 sides again, or the 'credit' crunch effect.

I blame the Salary Cap.

But this was the point. Many were claiming that neutrals weren't interested in the likes of Wire and Hudds, when in fact, many are not overly excited about seeing the same two teams this year at OT, despite us being told that they were a huge draw.

and that reminds me of the att at saints last sat for the visit of the gooooons....what was our att at saints on the opening night...big 4 my arris

It's Clarke fault.
