So do I - in fact, I'd be disappointed if we didn't; no room for taking the foot off the gas for the next 3 years.

Providing Newmarket goes through as planned then then the only thing that I could see us falling down on is the required number of season ticket holders but should we get Newmarket then hopefully this will give us a boost in attendances like Warrington had when they moved.

You have to remember for us to survive for next 3 years they must be paying supporters, after the euphoria of tuesday theres a huge reality check needed too, we have been in SL last 3 years, and hey presto, went bankrupt, why?? for trying to pay competative wages with little fans base comparatively, think we have to ask ourselves are we willing to put up with 2 or 3 years like this year to be solvent or is there some big money round the corner to make us competative?

Newmarket with our current fan base will not save WTRLFC, fun as tuesday was, it changes nothing for our long term survival, sorry.

...not comparable, warrington moved at the same time as a huge injection of cash from a backer, ther fans came cos the players were there, it has nothing to do with shiny stadiums.

its a simple question, would you stand in the rain and watch us win every week or be in a nice shiny stadium and pay 20 quid a week to watch us get towelled??

vasty has made some good points re this on other threds, read them, hes right.

I am not saying we are suddenly going to attract 4000 new fans just because we are playing in a shiny stadium but I think we will get a fair few extras and also more away fans may come if they don't have to stand in the rain.

They won't have to stand in the rain at BV next year

again a simple question why do you think that re away fans??

ive got hailed on at hkr many times and loved it cos game was good, saints away was never a holiday resort, some of the best times have been at salford, and i havbe hardly ever enjoyed going to huddersfield, you see...rugby league fans do not mind getting a bit wet, but they do not want to turn up and see garbage, we are not at the opera here, if its raining ill wear a hat.

To be honest I am just going on what I have read on other clubs forums where several posters have said they dont want to pay their money to get wet.

I agree with you though that some of the older less luxurious grounds are more enjoyable to visit than new stadiums that lack sole such as the Galpharm.

its a simple arguement to win......you just have to turn it to the entertainment recieved.... and say, go on then explain glastonbury!!!!!!!!

It's not quite that simple if, like me, you take two kids with you; they're not quite as accepting of the 'wear a hat' argument.

Like it or not, the next generation of fans will be more likely to turn out if the stadium is under cover and has seats, non-smelly bogs and easy access to expensive drinks and snacks.
