I think Catalans will be so close, but need a bigger ground to get them bumper crowds to help them push over the five-figure mark. Rovers need the extension finishing, and I reckon they'll be straight up to it. The East Stand extension will add 1k average alone (it will sell out), but whether it takes away from the rest of the ground we won't know. But better facilities will see an increase in away support. Not quite sure what else Hudds can do to increase their crowds. They've already got dirt cheap tickets and a class facility. They must already be close to potential. Widnes will get some great crowds for their return, but whether they can build on it with a successful side in the future will remain to be seen. A new ground for Cas and/or Wakey will see them go close, if not break it. Salford and London have little to no chance IMO.
£230 at hull fc, no cheap offers/gimmicks apart from the usual early bird offers, the only way hudds will get 10k every home game will be on the numbers of traveling support imo
Giants are striving for the 10k average...sold 7k for the coming season so thats going the right way but still long way to go
dirt cheap tickets?? to buy an adult side on season ticket now its £210.... with the early bird offer i got mine for £100 this year.
surely we arent the only club doing offers??? how do we compare?? how much did you pay for yours at your clubs?

We don't get amazing turn outs, but they were far better than they were in the Boulevard days.

Cheapest adult seat at Wigan (South Stand) - Renewal £197, Early Bird - £211. No offers.
Season Tickets sold so far: 9K
not bad, i paid £180 early bird last year so not a massive differance...just with this coming seasons early bird offer there is a big diff between giants and wigan.

Not knocking Huddersfield at all, but not every club has to do offers. I get the impression that generally there is a bit of a push to up the gates for 2012. It would be fantastic if more than 50% of clubs in SL could average over 10,000.

i know bradford and wakefield do offers cheap
Sorry, I should have been more clear. Yes, everyone does the earlybird offers. I'm on about the really cheap offers that yourselves and Bradford have done. If you want to fill the larger sized stadiums, what your club is doing is an answer.

Our Marketing dept has been running a recruitment bonus for a couple of years now where you receive cash back on your season ticket if you persuade a non season ticket holder to buy commit to one.
One (10%), Two (20%), Three (35%), Four (60%), Five (100% cashback on your Season Ticket).
I saved quite a bit converting a couple of floating voters last season, I'd be suprised if other clubs weren't running similar schemes to this!!
