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

I've been following the figures and paid special attention to the langtree park ones which I think are outstanding. Even in the traditionally less

attended games I think you've done brilliantly. I'm slightly disappointed with wires although they have increased year on year and we have

all our big games bar the saints one remaining at home so lets hope. Well done anyhow.

Not really into crowd counting. But I suppose for Saints it will be a bit of a phase this year. I think everyone is slowly understanding that whilst money men are great. It's living on the whim of others. Without attendances clubs have no long term future. I'm not overly bothered about comparable attendances so long as we are pulling our own weight.

Think it was just under 5800 so not a bad guesstimate.



Also good to see us pulling in that crowd against a team of part timers, when just down the road at the HJ, the tie of the round between 2 super league clubs pulled in just 5500. Credit to Catalans too, they drew in the biggest crowd of the round with 7000 against Sheffield.

The main reason for the Catalan crowd is that they don't have as many season ticket holders so fans are quite used to a "pay on the day" mentality whereas here we seem to have fallen into the I've paid for my season ticket and I don't want to pay for many more home games.

I don't feel so bad about the Saints v Oldham attendance now I have seen the comparison with the Wolfs game.
