| Quote rubber duckie="rubber duckie"Saints average attendance always takes a boost from Wigan and from generally RLs largest travelling supported team Warrington.
This flatters Saints yearly averages. Throughout much of the last season's at Knowsley Road many home games fell below 8000 and to be honestly who wouldn't expect that in the shat hole conditions it had.
Saints had another boost to attendances this weekend be allowing 3000 + event guests who went to Langtree park in the day to attend the evening game too.
All in all that puts the overall average attendance up when revenues are not, one of the reasons that Warrington make a profit at year end but Saints don't.'"
Are you seriously trying to suggest Warrington have the largest away support?
Although the rest of your post is really interesting particularly the bit about boosting the attendance this week by allowing "3000+ event guests" into the game for free. Its one hell of a coincidence that Widnes did exactly the same thing the day before!

| Quote Gaz_E="Gaz_E"Atkins - Took his try well, showing great speed. I thought it was Penny that scored it initially. Still suspect defensively for me, and better sides will exploit us out wide. He's not the smartest of players, as seen when getting both himself and Penny bundled into touch early in the count. A better player off a short ball where his speed and power exploit lazy edge defenders.'"
He still comes across as ball greedy at times to me and he tries too much to go on the outside, and a lot of the time he gets put into touch. There was a discussion at the game about whether TS should look to maybe get Atkins bulked up and get him in the pack, ala Benny Westwood as he kept doing the same when he came over from Wakefield.
As for Penny, I do hope this is the start of a long run in the team for him. It will shut a fair few people up, though no doubt even after a great performance yesterday, if he even concedes 1 try against Hull on Friday, people will be calling for him to be dropped and start calling him crap. Very fickle bunch are Warrington fans, especially when it came to the likes of Jon Clarke, Mike Wainwright & Chris Riley.

That's wrong. Saints actually did a 'Lads and Dads' initiative at £10 a throw. They do it for the games where the crowd is affected by the lack of away fans.

Yes, and the West stand at the HJ is always empty when Wigan, Saints, Widnes, Leeds, etc, come to town too ......

I was being sarcastic. Although I'm looking forward to Rubber Duck coming up with some cock and bull story to try and make out that Saints did let 3000 in for free.

I know you were, it was the Duck I was pointing it out to. Should have put it on his post. He's mixing up his teams.
Two more 5 figure gates today at HKR and Cas. Smallest gate of the weekend just over 7,700 at Huddersfield.

Hmmm, that could be it. Thanks.
As to our away support. Yes our support is generally the largest travelling support in SL.
Only specific near graphical location Derbys the likes of Saints v Pies, Hull v Hull KR and Leeds v Bradford do have greater numbers.
Across the RL spectrum, away teams have bumper crowds when they host Warrington.
That includes the size of fans at the Magic and in France.

| Looking at GF's when we've been there, both Wigan and Leeds have a greater away following than us - even if it is for the one match !

If there was Yed and it was judged by the Perpignan press, I think they would crown us Championes.
