Yes, we would all increase our attendances in SL. I'm not sure what you're point is?

My point was in answer to "Off! Number Seven", who stated that we would need to add an extra 2-3 thousand in SL to be sustainable. I assumed he was not talking about getting an extra 2-3 thousand while still in the Championship. that would mean we'd have to average 6,500 and no club in this league will ever achieve this. That would be impossible. Several, existing, SL clubs don't even get that average. So it must be a total for SL. As such, as I pointed out, we averaged that last time in SL, and would almost certainly do so again. Ergo, we should meet his target of 2-3 thousand easily.

naa misunderstood what had been written in the previous messages,

just been through them my mistake misunderstood what was being said.

It would, and you know it!

Having no promotion will guarantee it stays that way too.

Somebody said , it couldn't be done and he with a chuckle replied

Maybe it couldn't but he would be one who wouldn't say so till he had tried

So he started right in with a trace of a grin , on his face if he worried , he hid it

He started to sing as he tackled the thing that couldn't be done

And he did it

everyone can get bigger attendances in super league.

dont have the actual figures but am sure we will have been averaging 5k a week in super league.

2000 - 5,500-ish
2001 - 4,800-ish
2002 - 4,000-ish
2003 - 3,000-ish

4,200 average over 4 years.

Even Edgar Guest couldn't get 6,500 through a Championship sides turnstyle every week, and quoting him won't help either.
