Can the wigan warriors survive? They also suffered at the hands of the vikings.

GF no offence but you might as well quit calling it ESL - in reality it's not been the European Super League since 1997, and 13 British teams + 1 French is hardly a 'European' league. Expansion will never take off like some hoped, time to face the truth I'm afraid.









Keighley or York for SL 2013.

That was down to health and safety restrictions or whatever as tickets were like gold dust having been sold out 2/3 weeks in advance.

the same at Gilbert Brutus there was a full house though there were about 200 empty seats in the main stand - this is due to the new hospitality lounge now being open in the new stand and all the sponsors & invited visitors etc spending the game in the lounge rather than in the stand - very nice work if you can get it !

As the gaps were dotted about the place, you're probably nearer the truth - being RL that didn't occur to me. I was talking to a Stoke supporter at Wrexham yesterday (!) who said that when it's a televised game there some supporters watch it on the TVs in the concourse as you're not allowed to take alcohol back to the seats.

well,before the hospitality lounge was open this season the seats were always occupied by the sponsors, visiting club members and the like ,players & WAGS etc but now it's completely empty - the players not taking part in the game (injured or dropped etc) are usually seconded to the hospitality lounge to look after the sponsors etc - it's good business for the club but strange to see so many empty seats !
