I don't think there's the slightest chance of there NOT being an increase in crowds this year. Probably a pretty big one too.
I agree, but I'm never one to count chickens. It would be nice to see they up across the board where possible. With Warrington expanding, Saints and Salford redeveloped.
Places like Wigan may stay still but they have some of the biggest crowds anyway. But their marketing men know how to push a game to the wigan species.
Even London with a rebrand it would be nice to see their numbers up and Widnes replacing Crusaders again should add to the numbers.
But in terms of coverage it's that wider TV audience that we need to up.
The media don't cover football for the thousands that go to matches it's for the millions who watch it on the box. If we can get those numbers heading North, then we will get the media coverage to go with it.
