Well I was one of the first to give you congrats.

Now I thought about starting another post but put it on the end here.

Given you've now won silverware, do you think this will improve home attendances?
This isn't 'having a go' or anything.
I'm genuinely mystified why you don't have higher attendances and I am told that the average age of Hudds supporters is higher than for most teams.

You've got a great stadium and now a team that has delivered but it does make me wonder what's necessary to change this scenario.

Any ideas?

Exactly, there seems to be a few 16-25 at the moment who were the kids in the early days of SL but like you said not so many between 25-40 compared to other clubs, apart from those who come as families.

Most of the people i know between 35-45 were around in the Fartown days, not so many newer faces in that age group in the last 10 years though.

Also back in 2000 and around that time when we were getting hammered every week and finishing bottom i used to be a junior giant along with around 6 other mates..me and another who goes occasionally are the only ones left.

Yep i agree, i used to take my 3 kids and although they are all grown up now only the youngest still comes regularly, my eldest used to bring 3 or 4 of his mates too and none of them come anymore either, i guess as they got older they got bored of it.

on another thread a few weeks back, I made a point that whilst all the other clubs apart from Catalans and London have been established top flight clubs for decades that have had a regular fanbase of thousands in all of those years,we haven't, we have literally raised our crowds from a few thousand just over 20 years ago, no other SL club have had such a huge rise in attendances as we have in the last 10-15 years.
but people who don't think just presume that we have always been an established first division/super league club.
now we have proved we can play with the best and beat them and win things lets hope we can improve our attendances even further.
