I think the percentage for dire was much higher. They had terrible attendance figures at wilderspool; some matches were sub 4000 not too many years ago.

Wire never had sub 4000 crowds.

Average attendances:

2000 - 6872 (6th)
2001 - 6356 (7th)
2002 - 6189 (10th)
2003 - 7031 (6th)
2004 - 9890 (8th) (New Stadium) - Increase of 40%.

Hopefully Saints and Salford get a similar boost, both stadiums look great from what I've seen.

The whole Warrington had terrible attendances at Wilderspool thing is a myth. We didn't do too bad that year considering how awful we were/the off pitch incidents etc.

I was talking about average attendance increases. I think the 4k figure for warrington is more about 1 ff matches rather than the season average.

The season average increase is what I was on about and that was just the increase from the stadium.

Interestingly, you can longer get season tickets for the allocated sections online. So maybe they have been taken off to stop all this speculation.

But if you took off the free tickets and the players and coaching staff and the hangers on, you have got to be sub-4000

It seams the inside man had his facts right when he said7900I'd be pretty happy with that for this time of year. Especially given the recession. He also makes a decent point about the name being similar to KR as in named after the place. The guy knows his Saints fans and that we a re a bit on the traditional side.

If you can match the previous season averages with just season tickets then it just shows how many people were staying away.

It's illuminating that at KR we would generally get 5000 season ticket holders but already at the new gaff we have secured almost 8000. That tells its own story I reckon. And I know we are continuing to sell season tickets because I stood behind a couple when I bought my friendly ticket last week who were buying one for the first time.

I wonder for just how long KR was a dampner on the commercial potential of Saints?
