Some of our fans are all about winning I agree. But some of your fans are the same it's human nature. You say 6k at wilderspool in Warrington ok, you then get some well deserved success "wembley wembley wembley " I believe you sing! And all of a sudden 13k are going that equals 7 thousand so called saints style supporters of your very own wires!

Listen truth is no home games for us this season away or neutral venue. Were playing terrible agreed so we loose the glory fans, club has some big decisions to make around future of team this all equals uncertainty and nobody likes that. We will come through this we need to hold our nerve.
There is a long way to go!

I think we should run out to D ream things can only get better

6,000 at a neutral ground is decent in my opinion. Our crowds at KR against Quins were around the 7k mark, so it's not a massive difference.

6000 is decent Blobby under the circumstances and I wouldn't pay any attention to those who like these pinis measuring contests.Sure, Saints don't want to be at Widnes but what's the alternative,Sherdley Park?The fans should just give it a chance and make the best of the situation,all will seem much better when the lighter and warmer evenings are upon us and Saints have a few wins under their belt.

We at Wire have been poor for many years but we still turned up.
The same for fans at every other club, Cas, Wakey, etc.

Just because your team is having bad patch (and lets face it Saints have had 10 fantastic years) the Saints fans should still turn up and support their team unless the fans are just glory hunters who want to see Trophy's and desert their club when things are lean.

I and many many like me followed the Wire for approx 30 years without seeing a Trophy, but went because not only do I love my club I also love the greatest game on the planet.

The is alot of circumstances that will reduce the crowds at saints games being played at Widnes.

Some fans just like at other clubs just can't afford it due to current climate.

Some fans I knew used to go straight to KR from work but now have 20 min traveling which means will miss the kick off.

Some can't drive and won't want the hassle of getting there and back.

Some will just not go as it's in Widnes.

I think 6,000 or so is pretty ok attendance seeing as it was Quins and it's basically away for our fans too.

Re: 6050 : Sat Mar 12, 2011 10:46 am  

Considering every one of our games are Away 6000 fans is a decent turn out.
The south stand is the biggest problem, £26.00 a ticket isn,t exactly dangling a carrot for fans to turn out at a neutral venue.

Saints average last 2 trophy less seasons have been around 11000 trophy hunter fans. Will probably be around 8500 dejected fans this season.
So this will be reasonable under the present circumstances.

I,m sure this topic won,t turn up next season when we play were we belong.

A few season ago Wigan were poop but their fans turned in thousands to support their team though the bad times.
Saints have had an average (but not bad) start to the season and by their absence your fans have shown what they are really all about

The worse we got the larger the crowds got - go figure ! Probably the Dunkirk spirit

Re: 6050 : Sat Mar 12, 2011 11:20 am  

I'll tell you what, it just shows what sort of supporters you have. You have been used to cups and trophies for years on end and as soon as you have a bad patch. you respond in this way.

The skunkdome is barely any further for loads of your lot, especially the ones who walk around Westbrook Asda with their red v shirts after a win.

Extremely fickle fans, and I am enjoying every minute of it.

I didn't realise people went along for a singing contest.Perhaps they would be better advised auditioning for Britains got talent or something similar rather than attending a game of RL.

I'm pretty sure you average 4-5k at Wilderspool.

compare their crowds against London at Wilderspool and some of them even dipped below 4,000 !!
