Thought I heard 3100 announced but 2500 on sportinglife ??

From what I can remember it was around 2450 ish

Yeah - around 2400

2479

Not bad at all with current form that

But essentially, not enough to float a full time squad & support staff in SL.

Harlequins manage it with a ringing endorsement from Dick Lewis

But essentially it wouldnt be Championship clubs we would be playing in Superleague, so Leeds, Bradford etc would bring many, many more as well as our own floating fans would return.

And what was the crowd at Mount Pleasant yesteday??? 1101..... Widnes didnt take many there then?

Then look at
Salford v Bradford (2809)

Watch your crowd figures increase next year

A quarter of SL home fixtures are made up of the non-travelling Crusaders, Harlequins & Catalans. That leaves EIGHT home league fixtures......

I'm a Halifax supporter BTW, not Widnes.

I am not saying that we dont need to increase the crowds, we certainly do, but I know there are people who would start coming again when the competition will be Leeds, St Helens, Wigan etc, instead of Dewsbury, Batley, Hunslet etc....

The point I am making is that we were a championship side playing a championship side and we had 2479, whilst Salford v Bradford, two superleague sides only got a 330 more people through the turnstiles than we did.

2809...horrendous

Worth bearing in mind that the Salford game was a direct clash with the Manchester derby though. I know people will say people should watch the rugby instead etc etc but there's no underestimating just how big an effect it will have had on their crowd.
