I agree the attendances are poor for the first 3, but they all play in relatively modern stadia.

It's grim reading - 2017 Average Home attendance.

Salford Red Devils 4,703
Wakefield Trinity 5,289
Widnes Vikings 5,767
Huddersfield Giants 5,826

Entire SL 8,568

I hold some hope for Wakey if they can get their facilities sorted, Widnes and Salford look close to the edge - Huddersfield are lucky they have a rich (if very old!) backer. Ideally the likes of Widnes & Salford would take a place in a fully professional second tier, but we'd need a team capable of replacing them that improve the competition, Toronto? Toulouse? Other US? other France?

By stadium capacity I think Wakefield have the greater fill level along with neighbours Castleford.

Personally i think cas should be included in this list, yeah they're having a purple patch now, but they've had them before and been relegated, they're as bad as wakey in false dawns and new stadia. It's never gonna happen.

Perhaps they should consider a shared stadium, built on the boarder?

Thought Cas' new Stadia had been given the green light? being approved to be moved near the motorway junction? Wakey have already explored the possibility of a ground share but were politely told to 'do one'.

What was the attendance last night? (Apart from embarrassingly small)

Re: None Wire tv games : Fri Jun 15, 2018 7:22 pm  

So far this is a great game (Leeds saints)

You have to say there is some luck with Saints catching big teams while injury hit.

LOL you are not having it that Saints are a good side are you? P18, W16, L2 is a long streak of luck.
