| How many northern fans would travel on average an hour and a half to a home game, if not more?. Bigger crowd than i'd thought Broncos would get in the middle of nowhere.

Northern England was destroyed by mines closing in the early 80's and loose change wasn't spent on watching games of RL. What's London's excuse?

| London will recover their crowds at the Stoop once they start winning games under the leadership of the wily Craig Gower and with the spectacular tries of Kieran Dixon.

| Crusaders got 1122 in 2010 v Quins. This is officially the lowest attendancein SL. It beat the previous 1276 which was Halifax v Quins. Anybody noticing a pattern here?

As stated. They were game standard attendances in the very early 80s for all clubs bar hull and hull kr. Whilst by todays standards they are shameful, back then those were standard averages. So your point is invalid.

The Crusaders gate was an 'on the road' game at Neath re-arranged for a time and date to suit Brian Noble's TV commitments. (edited for spelling)

| Quote ="knockersbumpMKII"my point is that yet again another RL fan thinks having a low attendance is the reason to bin off a top tier team.
That the biggest team in rugby league history when back in the first division were commanding but a few thousand (& that of Leeds and Bradford too if you like) should give no reason to get rid of London on attendances only.
Comprenez?'"
Think you embarrassed yourself by calling Wigan an embarrassment to the sport, so your point about attendances became a little lost.

How is it? Care to refute the post with something sensible or have you nothing but hot air as usual?
Was not the hotbed of rugby league that is Wigan's attendances much lower than pretty much all other 1st division teams bar probably York & Whitehaven(off the top of my head)? That after a successful return to the top flight.
The talk about the miners strike having an effect didn't manage to diminish the numbers elsewhere in huge droves compartatively eg Fev, Cas, Leigh etc during the same time period.
the call of the OP (and others previously) saying London should be kicked out from SL due to attendances, if that is the case then why weren't teams of yore binned off for the same thing. That isn't the rules is it...
yes London is a major problem atm, yes it needs to do shed loads more, yes the RFL need to pull their finger out to help sort it as we need a top flight London team
Should they be binned due to attendances (as posted for the umpteenth time this and last year)..no. That's my point.
Crack on....

So what's long term? Over 30 years so far.

That really is an awful argument!
What were the comparative attendances at other clubs?

London is a city of 8 million whilst Featherstone is a village of 12000. Fev currently average 2000 roughly 18 percent of its population. Now go do the math for London and then tell me why fev need an excuse silly person.

How long have Fev been in existence? If London are named Twickenham instead would that then make the crowds ok?
