Same! This has been your best season in yonks and played brilliant rugby, so why didn't they turn up then? Will the new stand make a differnce? We have two empty one's pretty much every week!

Just cos you have a trophy doens't neccesairly mean an extra 1,500 will walk throug the door as they'd of been there by now IMO! Maybe an extra few hunderd but that's all!

3, you forgot about the South Stand !

Nes, don't suppose you have the figures for last year do you to form a comparison?
Obviously last year had the grand old game against Salford but I'm interested to know what it looks like since we moved the matches to anyday other than Sunday and whether the lack of promotion has had an effect.

Any news on you lot getting a youth set up??

Yes. We are opening a youth club under the new stand. We are also building a youth hostel on the site. We are dedicating both of these ventures to Yootha Joyce - God rest her soul.

Workin on it as we speak... Would imagine it'd be higher... We had approx 12% more season ticket holders last year for starters...

Our attendance for last years 9 League games was -

4517 ...

When you consider the Salford attendance last seasn, and the fact Gateshead had 14 travelling fans Toulose - 0 , every visiting team brought fewer fans and we had less season tickets it not to shabby ...
