They'll send it thro the post pal, no need to do anything, it will come through. We were thinking the same last year and it showed up mid february when we were about to start hassling them

I think we'll break 10k by the start of the season to be honest, whilst it's behind the club target of 11k it's static on last season and with the current economic climate you can't really grumble. Hopefully our overall average attendance won't suffer and our marketing department will have their work cut out this season.



Positives - Widnes in (possibly Big One 4), should be a great crowd if promoted right.



Negatives - Stains at home last game of season. Who thought of this? Could be a disaster if the playoff places are already set. (Although if we go into the game as playoff leaders needing to win the game, then it could sell out).

If the playoffs are set then the crowd could drop, but I think we'd be more likely to suffer if it was the 300th time we'd played them like last season.



As last season showed, people don't attend the playoffs. I think the paying public would rather watch this than a meaningless game the week after (presuming we are in the top 4)

So would I. We have won two major trophies over the last two years, I expected the number of season ticket holders to fly up.



I think our average could go down due to saints being the last home game, what a rubbish fixture list. Why have such a huge game as the last game in the regular season? The only way it can be a success is if we need to win that game to finish top, I see that as highly unlikely.

I wasn't really expecting us to hit 11k tbh. With how the season ended last year after the CC final, plus the fact the recruitment has hardly been too much to get excited about. To hit 11k+ I think we'd have needed a big name or halfback to come in. As long as we get off to a good start I don't think the average will be too far down on last year though.



Re. the playoffs, it is most blatantly obvious that the current format HAS to change! Even if they insist on keeping 8 teams (too many imo) then just follow the same structure as the NRL. The fact cuurently 1st and 2nd get the same advantage and there is a strong likelihood that week 1s fixtures will be repeated in week 3 is nothing short of ridiculous, and the attendance figures reflected this.

Possibly but don't forget Wigan sell thousands extra in the week leading up to the match (hence regular averages of 15-16k).





Can Saints?

And if we were moving into our very own brand new stadium we would be hitting the 11-12k imo.

I am not daft, we will not match your home gates, but we will close the gap in a big way this year, the difference a new stadium makes

Agree with that. We can only dream of a 20k stadium with standing behind the goals.
