Well, much has been discussed about this. I think the club have spent so much time selling the tickets to Youngsters, that they can't go to the games by themselves. I think that in the next 10-15 years, our away following will begin to increase - now that's forward planning . I think with less games on Sky and more games on Sundays, we'll see an increase of 2-3,000 which would be excellent. 7,000+ season tickets sold so far, so I'll be happy with another 500 sold to get a good 7,500 base of supporters with at least 11-12,000 for big games.

I know the chairman is hoping for season ticket sales to hit 10K by Xmas,looking good for us this season.
What was the average last year? I think maybe 12,000 for the new stadium . Crowds of 14,000 at least is a bit optimistic in my opinion bearing in mind that St Helens is a small town.Any way we will see soon.

They've already sold 8,000 season tickets (which is more than we averaged at Widnes). I would suspect a shiney new stadium would not only boost Saints fans' attendence, but the novelty will boost away crowds for at least a season (for instance, I've already convinced myself not to miss our away trip to Salford).

I'd say Wire's would increase with Widnes coming up and the increased capacity that's 3 full houses so an extra 4 thousand on the Wigan Saints games plus the full house of Widnes, possibly more fans from Salford given they should attract more with the new stadium might translate in to more travelling?
I'd say probably 5 full houses for Wire this year and probably all of them over 10k.

I would expect us to have around the same average as last season, maybe a few hundred extra if we are performing well.
It will be infront of the south terrace so will lose over a thousand which will take it lower than 10K, not sure how much the south terrace actually held i thought maybe 1200, could be wrong

Wakefield averaged just short of 7,000 last year With Belle Vue's upgrade, a more competitive team a fingers crossed some good news about a new stadium we could possibly break the 7,500 average.
Also Trinity have increased season ticket sales from an awfull 600+ last year to almost 4,000 so far with the Xmas and pre season rush yet to come.

When we was at KR we averaged 11K,we sold roughly 5K season tickets and so far we have hit 8K+,we may be a small town but I reckon we will average 14K no problem,but as you say we will see soon enough.

Serious question, not looking to take the mick.
New stand roofs being built on the big northern terrace, a western terrace roof, more covered seating, new bars, new food outlets upgraded toilet facilities, generally leaned up and made safer and mor accessible.
That's just forth fans there's mor gone on in terms of facilities for teams, physios, warm up areas ECT..
Just to make everyone mor comfortable and mor welcome ahead of our proposed move to a new stadium.
