Quote: PopTart "I agree. But the reverse applies too.
They'll stop coming if the product on the field isn't good, but they'll reach a ceiling if we are successful on the field and not off it.
And in the past 40-50 years that ceiling has been about 5k.'"
This is where it'll be interesting what happens at Leigh these next few years. If they can maintain a top 5 spot and get their academy sorted out etc it'll be interesting to see what levels their support will get to before it tops out. Or has the mass influx of fans, purely been down to the fact it's almost come out of nowhere and because of the novelty factor of playing good RL and winning something?
If they just maintain their SL position for the next couple of years, will that be enough to keep all those extra fans that jumped on the bandwagon to keep coming? I'll be genuinely interested to see how it plays out for them.
