In the last three months unemployment has gone up in St Helens from 4000 to over 5000. Such things must have an effect on attendance.

Ah yes.

There was plenty around me at the front right hand side

Finger on the pulse as usual, eh muckka?

Another touchstone of the Saints support.

I think we can assume from today's turnout in the Pink Lady stand that those who post on RLFans are not representative of the majority of Saints supporters. It was chokka!
Atmosphere still left a lot to be desired. If the 'atmosphere' are such huge supporters of the S, why do they only arrive five minutes before kickoff and end up being penned in one corner. I demand a breath test!

When should they arrive? What's there to do in the time leading up to kick off? Sit around chatting? Great stuff.

For the record, I love the Huddersfield away games. It's one of the best grounds with decent pubs nearby and is usually a competitive game.

The stand was quite full.

I didnt think that many would go yesterday, but there were loads of Saints fans behind the posts, and some in the stand to the right too.

The atmosphere is sh*te at Saints most weeks. I remember the days when we used to criticise the Dulls fans for being quiet, but I bet they'd give us a run for our money these days in the chanting stakes, we're that bad.

From my position by the dug outs and with a bit of inside info you had around the 2-2500mark. There was one whole section of the stand empty, next to the Antich stand, and the section next to the Main Golf Direct stand was barely a quarter full. When you're in the stand in may seem as if it's packed but there was plenty of space. A good turn out by you guys I thought, less than some teams bring but more than Wire and Bradford.
