You got about 14,000. Not really losing money there are you.
Great effort, if clubs cant get their own fans through the door they shouldnt be in Super League, you obviously can, so dont moan

So just to confirm it , according to the Warrington Board , Paul Wood did not get a full GB cap , so the last GB international produced by Warrington is the now retired Estyn Harris and before him , the now retired Paul Sculthorpe , what a wonderful contribution from one of our supposed top clubs

I'll leave it there

I never said otherwise, I don't see how this is relavant.
We have produced some decent players, don't forget how good Nigel Vagana went on to become after we picked him up off a field in New Zealand, Kohe Love's another imo international quality player.

It's completely irrelavant. Who claimed Warrington had produced them?

Back on topic .......... there were about 10 away fans at Wigan last night. Compare that with Widnes or Leigh who would bring 1500-2000 fans. Expansion is a wonderful idea, but can clubs afford to miss out on vital income year on year.

Castleford, Salford, Hudds and Catalans were responsible for the 4 lowest gates at the DW Stadium last year.....it's got less to do with expansion and more to do with how each club market each game. IIRC, Heinz block booked a stand for the Quins Game...giving you your 3rd highest gate of the season. For people to blame Celtic/London/French fans for attendances is just stupid. The Home team have a responsibility to try and fill their ground....it is not the responsibility of the visiting club.

my thoughts on this particular subject are well documented.....quins failed on pretty much every level last year and to be fair, they have admitted as much. The RFL have slapped them on the wrists and they are under no illusions as to what is expected......anyway, back on thread.....Away fans don't count on a licence application.......

Warrington are to applauded for their crowd today. Just shy of 12k....the only game last year to attract more fans was Saints....again disproving the original tw@s theory that expansionist teams cost clubs money. I bet the few Londoners that made the journey enjoyed Jedwood more than they did the game

Windes and Leigh - If we still have P&R neither of these would be in Super League.

Last season it would have been Salford and this year Barrow.

Of how well the Crusaders are supported.

Fairly easy to get 10,500 along to your first home match when you factor in offers on tickets, first home game for new club, Super League champions visiting, freebie tickets (oh sorry...apparently there were NO freebie tickets given out to anyone according to 'Traffic' although I know of several Scarlets RU squad players who would disagree with you )

The real acid test of how much support Crusaders have will be when we see how many supporters they attract to their away games.

When Celtic crusaders have played at the KC stadium in the past you could easily fit their away fans in a phone box.

Worst. Attempt. At Trolling. Ever.
