Quote FireWire="FireWire"If reports are to believed and we take 6 - 7,000 fans to Saints tonight, will this be the biggest away support for a regular league fixture in 2010?
I'm not just talking RL either. With the restrictions on allocations for away teams in football, could it be the biggest following at any sporting fixture (regular season match) in the country this year?
Also when was the last time Wire took a following of this size to a normal league game?
Answers on a postcard please.'"
I don't think it will be the biggest even of SL - you'll see similar numbers of KR fans at the KFC for the Dull Derby, and likewise Saints will take plenty to the JJB. Even Leeds at Bradford will take a similar number.
Changing codes, Sarries v Northampton had nearly 45,000 at Wembley in September & with Sarries v Quins coming up also at Wembley I think our 7000 away support will pale slightly.
Nice try though!
