To be honest I'd have been very surprised if we hadn't have sold more season tickets. I was privileged to watch the best rugby that I've seen in my 35 years of watching the Wire last season and if that doesn't get people flocking to the HJ then nothing will.

Plus One

Fantastic news, it justifies the expansion, speeds up return on investment, plus future development plans could be pushed forward at this rate.

In 2008 we sold 5000 season tickets in the seated area alone so I would guess that they sold at least 3000 in the southstand that same season so between 2008 and now i can see us selling at least another 1500 tickets !
TBH I cant see why its such a big secret what the actual figure is

When do we enter the realms of ultra cool and call them season passes?

Me too (25 years) but that's damning with faint praise considering some of the dross we've had to watch over the years!

I have it in my head we sold 8800 last year. So, theoretically, we should be looking at somewhere in the region of 9.5k.

Excellent news.
Let's hope 10,000+ attendances continue to rise throughout Superleague.

That would be great going.

Great stuff. Website says that last years average attendance was 11,500, hopefully match day ticket sales can rise to a similar degree. In that case we'd be looking at an average attendance of 12,650.

However, I'm assuming that quite a few of the 10% will have been people who were match day ticketers last year, so it would be optimistic to hope for that. Good news though, long may it continue.

Update, it is confirmed in the St Helens Star that Saints have sold over 9500 tickets now (not quite 10K yet)
But that still great for us, I think Saints can realistically achieve an average of 14k next season.

Jesus. You've managed to post something that is:-

a) 100% Positive
b) 0% smug
c) Doesn't mention young players you've had your eye on at Academy games
