Whats the crowd going to be like when we play Saints ????
Saying this a lot of the schools in Wigan finish on that day and a lot of families will have booked to go away.
Another factor in the equation there is a squeze on at the moment ie Fuel prices gone up gas,electricity,petrol.Morgage repayments gone up for some. Rugby comes down the pecking order when belts are being tightened financially especially if its on SKY.

I don't think we'll fill the place; maybe 21-22k?

SKY went up by £1, they had the cheek to send me a letter about it.

I think that the fact that we had no home match for such a long time has a lot to do with it. Once the regular routine is broken people find other things to do and don't revert as quickly to their old habit.
A couple of wins and the publicity should get us a big attendance against the scouse brigade.

some 1 made a good point on sky a few weeks back about making a extra point on the franchise system for teams with a good away folllowing ,as they spend there monies to get there and when they get there spend more ,if that was the case us ,sts,warrington and the 2 hulls would do fine the rest would struggle ,sts core away following seems more consistent that there homers

Mine very often doesn't turn up. I read somewhere if your SKY mag doesn't turn up, you can get a discount on your subscription. Whether it's true or not, I don't know
