st helens and bradford need new grounds for much gains in crowds from current figures.

Although a new ground is very much needed for Saints we are currently showing something like a 25% increase in attendances on last season so things are heading in the right direction for us.

You've got to hand it to Huddersfield, who for years have borne the brunt of the low crowds jibes. Their average so far is a huge improvement and the season pass strategy could well be applied elsewhere.

Huh?

Huddersfield have gone from 5142 to 7846 last season and over 9200 this season.

Hull have gone from 5741 to 13431 last season and over 15000 so far this season.

Leeds have gone from 8581 to over 17000 last season and over 13000 this season with all the big attendances to come.

I think its clear that since the begining of SL the biggest gainers in percentage terms are Hull and Leeds.

THE INDEPENDANT: Today the east, which contains the biggest council estate in Europe, is poor, a place of high unemployment and low expectation. The west, which has the city centre and the university, is posh and prosperous.

Huddersfields average was, at its lowest ebb in SL, ~2,600.

If London is Athens, Yorkshire is Sparta, a tougher community and proud of it.

Is that a bandwagon I here rolling along :wink:

I'm confused, who are you accusing of bandwagonning?
