what's your point?
Our gates increased because we moved to a more family friendly super stadium it had nothing to do with jumping on bandwagons or fans who had turned there backs on the club returning because of better times.
Also what is the relevance of subtracting the highest gate from our attendances?
You will find that if you post the 1999 attaendances that our attendances actually fell when we were promoted because we didn't have the local rivalry factor. Using your logic hull FC would be the reason why you don't get crowds of 1300 in super league
