Or perhaps it's just symptomatic of the current economic situation facing the entire country?

Pretty much more or less the same our crowd levels certainly not a major worry at the moment, facilities play a big part in attracting support especially away support and we all know we are working on that

Hudgell said you could top a 9k average in 2008. What's that, if not setting the bar too high?

League performance, not plateauing attendances. Really.

i think Wigan and Saints have recruited better than anyone this year, esp Wigan, and they have some great young kids there too so could be the start of another period of dominance from them im afraid

Still, we await the sockfest over Morgan's annual claims to doing the double on the back page of the HDM in 6 weeks time. Unless Murrell gets there first

I'm just thinking with a new coach, playing at Widnes and doubts about the fitness of key players such as Eastmond and Pryce that 2011 will be abit of a transitional season for Saints.
