As a Leeds fan i'd expect a modest increase for the coming season. Our attendances held up remarkably well considering we had such an indifferent regular season, i'd expect a modest rise from 15,000 (2011), up to 15,500 to 16,000 for the coming campaign. I'm basing this on last seasons unexpected success and the number of young exciting players pushing through into the team. I'd expect increases at St Helens, Hull, Hull kr, Huddersfield(cheap ticket scheme) and obviously Widnes in superleague. I'd expect a drop at Bradford and possibly a slight decrease at Wigan and Castleford. How's your team going to fare and how many could you realistically be getting?

With around 9000 season tickets sold at Saints, and then an average 2000 away supporters, you can start the Saints number at 11000. Then add on walk ups. I'd say we would be disappointed with an average of less than 14000, given that Wire, Wigan and Widnes will all be sell outs when they come over.
I'd be surprised by anything less than 14,000 average at Saints. A lot of factors could come into it, how many of the new ST holders were the old walkup? How many more will come because you don't need a tetanus to visit now? How will the away contingent respond, as Saints hardly got any away fans at Knowsley Road bar Wire & Wigan.

I'm expecting a significant increase at Wakefield on any other season in SL. Season ticket sales alon have increased by sometinhg like 300% over pervious years.

Think bradford will remain pretty static tbh, maybe a few hundred drop off. We've sold a similar number of season tickets when you include the long term memberships. Any increase in attendance will be off the back of improved on field performance, given pretty much an entirely new backline I dont think its unreasonable to expect some improvement results wise.

A 300% increase is good, but what was the starting number? Less than 1,000?
What is causing the increased optimism at Wakefield? I thought it was still all doom and gloom over there with all the pretending and lies over a new stadium.
