Last night once again proved that its in places like Halifax and Widnes where the game will increase its fan base and is better off concentrating its efforts rather than wasting time in far off places where football or RU rules. Plus there is a lot more passion as people really care about the game and create a good atmosphere. Winning obviously helps but I ask would Celtic Crusaders have got such a crowd last night (an all pay gate note). How many did Harlequins get today against another SL club???

We'll get back in if: we win trophy's, increase our gate (in spite of what Harlequins or Celtic do in this regard) and improve our financial clout.

Im not trolling, i came on here looking for a thread about the CC and got sidetracked into this one. Im pretty glad haifax have gone well this season, and was going to ask who everyone would want in the next round. But if you would lie, let me know what your averge attendence was in super league and we can cpompare it to celtics average, after they have been slaughtered all season.

And if i knew how the gate money was divided this would be a redundant question, but you wanting a game at the shay or to do some traveling?
