It's all if's and but's but hey thats the fun.

I disagree. I think Saints can shift 17k for the Salford match easily.

Also in terms of a 14k average gate for the season, that should be well within reach.

Lets say just, Wigan/Warrington and Widnes hit 18k.

That means we need to average 12,800 for every other game.

Assuming (ass out of me and u) Saints hit 10000k season tickets. That's 2'800 to shift per match. Before you even look at away fans I reckon you will get 1000 - 2000 saints fans as walk up for even sides like Catalan and London that bring less than 100.

I would not say it's in the bag, but I'd estimate

Warrington, Widnes, Wigan, (should be salford too) 18k.
Leeds, Hull, Hull KR, Huddersfield (they are a top 4 side now) over 14k
Bradford, Castleford over 12k.
Wakefield, London, Catalans, 10 to 12k

In the end though it's all numbers, so long as the side plays well, people will come.

We'll get a roasting off other clubs fans when only 3000 turn up for the Challenge Cup games.

I thought 10,000 was the limit for the Widnes game?

Re: Season ticket sales : Fri Jan 13, 2012 9:33 pm  

Not long left now just 20 allocated seats available in the North which is great stuff, down to only 288 in the South and 237 of them in block C

However these figures could be influcence by the fact allocated seating has gone on match sale for Salford and a potential minor issue, if someone buys an allocated seat for the Salford match but someone else buys the same seat as a season ticket who gets to sit in it... unless the ticketing system is capable of disabling the seat on the season tickets just for the game.

I think I've read its 12,000 somewhere on Saints, after we released some of the Widnes allocation which hadn't been taken up

Still it is at least double the usual friendly attendance which is great

13000 according to Saints, which is just shy of 3/4 capacity fwiw

Very few sales from Widnes apparently so probably got 10k Saints fans and 100 or so Widnes fans.

At least we should be able to out sing them (maybe)
