And we don't have loads of freebies like our friends over the lump . Excellent figures though

Bigger than Leeds

and a massive 3315 per game more than Wolves are pulling in.

Excellent figures but I hope we don't start banging on about attendances and boring everyone like Wigan fans do regarding crowds.

Great for saints, but equally sad for Salford whoust have expected better than that

It's a decent start, but by golly they need to get the cladding done. Hopefully that will improve the atmosphere because at the moment, bar the Leeds game, it's been a soulless pit.

We need to start marketing the lesser games in order to keep the crowds up.

It'll also be very interesting to see the gate for the Oldham game. At Knowsley Road it would have been around the 4,500 mark. This is where I think we might come a cropper, I genuinely can't see more than a couple of thousand turning up, which is desperately sad for Oldham. They would think of a tie like that being a money spinner and a chance to play in front of a big crowd, but it's won't be.

Challenge Cup games are always poor for all clubs, I would be pleasantly surprised if we get over 5500 for such poor opposition

How to turn a good news story into a negative!

Attendance figures are really encouraging and I hope this is reflected in growing revenues at Saints.

Been a bit chilly as well.
