They’re not in SL and it’s not a RL town.

I really like that 2017-18 jersey, maybe I nailed my colours to Limoux’s mast too soon.

I picked Limoux for exactly those reasons, and got the jersey. You’ll be fighting them off wearing this. https://www.oneills.com/uk_en/limoux-xiii-rugby-rugby-jersey-v4.html

And so they should, Leeds is by far the biggest town/city of all SL clubs.

The weather will have had a significant impact last night.

Saints have sold their allocation of 900, obviously not that many have been out off by having to pay £4 more than the Hull fans stuck in the corner cheap seats https://www.saintsrlfc.com/2022/02/17/saints-sell-out-allocation-for-hull-trip/

8,468. Surely the weather had something to do with that.

Hope so, my wife and kids will be out so I can watch it in peace. They did ask if I wanted to go with them

Strangely I think the opposite, 11,500 would be a win for Wigan. Huddersfield I’d be hoping for more, especially with HKR’s travelling support.

He actually said he wanted a championship conference where they just play the other West Yorkshire teams, loads of derbies, great for them I suppose, but not for anyone else.

The two chaps from 40/20 and Hunslet’s manager seemed to agree with him too, which I found disappointing.

The Pele of Rugby League.

Gary Schofield was laughing and sneering about Cornwall on this week’s Forty 20 Podcast - this has made me much more optimistic about their chances of success.

Predictions for Wire v Cas? I’ll go 11,500.

The corporate hospitality bit is great news, but doesn’t explain or excuse the huge drop (not slight drop) from five or six years ago.

In what way are they ripping them off?

With your last comment there are you parodying the TRL forum?

Who are they? That news has passed me by, sounds good though.

Indeed, iirc in the last normal season only one team (St George) averaged in 5 figures.

I watched some of the game on YouTube, really enjoyed it and as you say there was a big noisy crowd, there was even a smoke bomb just before kick off.

Hope so mate

Which NRL teams get 6k?

At the moment yes, but the downward trajectory hasn’t stopped yet so hopefully they’ll be able to do the before attendances drop below Saints or Wire’s. I would absolutely love to see Wigan and Leeds averaging 15-16k each again, would be great for the game.

York and London are part time and Newcastle got 700 to their season opener, Cornwall haven’t played a game yet and don’t even have 13 players, yet you’d like to see them replace existing SL teams?

Yes it is but at the same time Saints, Warrington, Hull and Castleford’s crowds have at least held up, and Hull KR’s have grown. The decline in people going to watch Wigan and Leeds isn’t mirrored at the other big clubs.
