Our average gate is 10,000 give or take a couple of hundred. And if you go back to 2004 season it was almost exactly the same.
I think the big problem is the West. It is generally reserved for the away supporters (together with the seating in North Q ). Since its capacity is 3,200 ish and is rarely filled, it makes the stadium look a bit despondent, particularly when we play Catalans, Hudds. games. So we are essentially wasting the capacity of the West other than for the matches with close rivals like Saints or Wigan. Other than continue with the good work Wire are currently doing with both the team and publicity I don't know how you can fully utilise the stand. Perhaps put a strip of seating down the middle and reserve it for hospitality ?

I agree the west is a white elephant at times. I think it ought to be seated an upper rear with corporate boxes and the front area leveled out for a Toronto experience with decent guest beers and sodas and food stalls bbqs from independent traders and amusements.
