The North stand always gives off a better atmosphere anyways, the roof on it is solid and bounces the noise back , whereas on the South, it's clear plastic.

£50 is far far far too much to watch RL. Especially since we pay what? £20 max per game a year [For those without STs]. Internationals should have a price cap of £15-£18 with Junior tickets no more than £7.

| There was IMO deffinatly no more than 20k on saturday. There was so much space in the East stand and the west stand was even worse. The prices were shocking and thats the reason!!!

Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good

I was sat on the North side of the east stand and it was good at the start but pants for the rest of it. Had the game been closer it would of been a much better atmopshere. Atmosphere is bad at any game when your time gets so dominant and the game is ove by half time.

3076_1671446335.jpg 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 |

Yet people quite happily paid £65 minimum for the American football at Wembley the previous weekend.
It doesn't make sense.

Eddies reaction, "I don't know what he's been taking but i wants some"
Wayne Rooney, meanwhile, says he has failed to be gripped by England's rugby union World Cup bid.
"I've not seen it," said the England striker. "I've been watching the rugby league.":26079.jpg |

| there was plenty of space were i was in the east. The atmosphere was pants, but so was the first half. Biggest raw was when maguire got subbed. Anyone else think atmosphere's are better with evening/night games?
hopefully next week will be a better first 40 and the atmosphere might pick up.

Novelty value Brian. We can watch live top class RL nearly all year round. We can even watch amateur RL through the winter but generally speaking you'll only get 1 chance a year to watch live NFL. There's a hell of a lot of fans of NFL in England too.

Quite right, but I think you mean NFL.

| My guess was 20-21K - a minimum of 1000 empty in the west stand and i relocated to the middle of an empty block of 500 in the boston. There was no way there were only another 500 empty seats throughout the ground.
You can't blame people for not turning up if there isn't going to be a contest.

had it been a night game the atmo (and crowd) would have been better.
at the very least people would have seen it as a reason for a day out. the early afternoon kick gives very little time for all but the seasoned drinker to have a pre-match session. I was in Wetherspoons at 11, and it was pretty much empty. Had I gone in at 3 for a 6pm kick off I expect it would have been packed.

I must have been in the wrong one then, was 4 deep at the bar at half 10, and Walkabout was similarly busy.

I think the attendance would have been bigger too had they lowered the ticket prices.

| As far as im aware there was no free tickets for local amateur clubs for this game.
Being linked with NWC League and Hindley we were offered 50 tickets for the France game but as far as i know nothing for this game.
Indeed i bought 40 tickets for Hindley U17s and friends to go..
