In all fairness to Far Town, our turnout was predictably (& some may say justifiably) woeful.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

A 47.5% increase in 5 years in times of recession.
I guess most businesses would be happy with that. |

Cas brought probably the worst away following i've ever seen at the pharm by a local side. Not having a go at Cas, just using this to illustrate a point. We have been told regularly by the expert fans at other clubs that it's only the away support that makes our crowds anything like. Last nights was almost all Giants. Not great I know but a hell of a lot better than early Superleague and with just home fans. WE DON'T DO NIGHT TIME GAMES. Everybody clear? Leeds, Wigan and Hull etc might have fans that go to the game then out for the night. A lot of our fans would rather stay at home with a mug of cocoa. Should we ever win a major trophy or two then hopefully we will attract more younger fans. My mother won't attend night games and I know she is not alone. We will just have to live with it. There are worse supported teams than us who dont have a local soccer team pulling 14000 fans in their direction so I'm not to upset at the mo.

spot on raaaaymond.
i said last night apart from the expansion clubs i cant remember seeing such a poor turnout of away fans,especially more surprising since cas have always been one of the better supported clubs.
we have proved over time that friday night games just dont work for us,was talking to people last night and all seemed to pick up on the same thing, that a lot of our fans are traditional RL fans who want to watch the game played on sunday afternoons,i know fans should support their teams whatever and all that but its a lot harder to break with tradition.
but still 5,800 of our own supporters is still a big improvement from 3 or 4 years ago

Surprisingly last season this fixture got 6,010 according to SL Stats, I thought it was more than that. Certainly last season Cas brought many more than they did last night, although not as many as they brought in the CC game.

Oh well not to worry.
We will get 15,000 next week thanks to the alleged 10,000 Hull kR fans that will be coming!

30 % of OUR SEASON TICKET HOLDERS do not attend evening K.O. s particularly the late one on a friday night.
On a sunday afternoon i would have expected anywhere between 800 and 1200 extra Giants fans . With it not been on sky and with the extra walk up there would have been over 7500 even then it is not enough but i doubt there would have been much criticism of a crowd like that. |

we are going over old ground really as meast says the problem is definately friday nights at 8 on sky for whatever reason we always suffer a fall in attendance for these matches, the good thing is at least now we are getting nearly 6k on a friday were as we used to get 3k of home support, i know 5 people who didnt go last night who are all season ticket holders.
