We can't rely on away support we have to generate our own and increase our own gates, that said Saints/Warrington brought less that Salford.

Yes mate i know, it was half said in jest, just to niggle (in a nice banter type way) the Saints/Wire fans

think trb nailed it, friday night games where away team has to do more than about an hours journey are always going to be poor attendences, and for a family of 4 your looking at 50 quid to get in, again Im sorry to say this but twice a month on sky your looking at 100 quid saved in many peoples eyes. Or put it another way not taking the family pays for your months sky subscription!!

a new ground wont change that, in my opinion nothing will on a cold friday night, however a team pushing for the top 4 and or a cup run will bring the fans out of the pubs / armchairs.

on a positive note more people have asked me this week about games to go to to try it / see if they /their kids like it.
however I was honest and did not recommend last night as a good starting point for newbies.

Same price for when ever you go. But Friday nights is not the best for a family with young kids, I prefer night games to Sunday though.

Playing well should do enough to get the fans in but obviously not. Hope they start turning up, we certianly have more fans that what turn up.

im in the sunday at 3.30 corner and always will be. best way to end a weekend is a win, a pint and some banter.

friday away games especially over the pennies are a real pain especially wigan.

Horbury club would have been full in the TV room of so-called Wakey fans
Untill we have our new stadium then our crowds will remain the same unless we are in the C CUP Semi's or at wembley then the fans suddenly appear again

Try harder

Numbers wise our support last night was low, but the fact it was a friday and on sky will have impacted upon that unfortunately - and the fact the move of the game wasn't (that I saw) particularly well publicised by either club or the RFL in advance meaning people who needed to change work to get there couldn't.
