very good point, this is why the upcoming world cup is massive if it takes off.
and the average hudds supporter being the oldest on average does not surprise one bit, lost generations with those barren years of super league and relegation, luckily i stuck with them and now being rewarded

| The bad days were WAY before Super League Brearley....to some older fans the early super league days were more than they could have dreamt of
We lost 2 generations of fans between 1970-2000 in my view.

ha, i appreciate times were even worse before but that was before my time so can only comment on the super league era and as to why we dont see many in the age bracket of 25-35. Poss even bigger age gap.

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.

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.
