Same with me

same with me. from the ribble valley.

Same as mate I live just down rd from saints ground and had a wigan season ticket for yrs let's just say works very intresting every week

all die hard saints fans

I did go to the Wigan-Leeds game last year because it was a tenner though. Sat behind the sticks with the pie-eaters and saw a woman I knew from work who kindly pointed out I was a leyther!

Nobodies taking Ince/Abram etc out of the figures! Only Leighth areas like Tyldesley/Atherton/Astley etc as Leigh are another RL CLUB in our Borough!



Either way you can't draw lines and say there are "X" amount who live there as per what someone else said earlier where would you draw the line?

PS

Can't believe I've been drawn into discussion with Saintsfan! I could be here all week!

whhhooooooaaa i live in atherton and am not in Leigh!

seeing as there are millions of people living in london, on ratio it means that shevington sharks are actually better supported than nal. tru fax.

They're playing at Widnes till the new one is ready.

Were you the one unscrewing the crust off his pie ?

Ashton is very much in Wigan tar!

Wigan also has a top flight football team and... well.... Leigh. I'm sure that affects our attendances.

Lets be honest though in relation to success rather than population, saints attendances are dire.

I blame the scousers. They've infiltrated the town and corrupted the shape of the balls.

Until Saints are in a new stadium, we're never going to be able to maximise our attendances. Hull get great crowds in a nice new stadium - what were their averages at the Boulevard? Or Wire at Wilderspool?

I'm looking forward to seeing how many more fans will come through the gates at Halo Park.

Halo Park, have you signed Master Chief for next season? That can't be fair

I agree but when Wigan were so succesful at central park we got an average of 14,000.

I think there's a slight difference in success levels!

When Saints were so successful in the 1950s and 60s they regularly got 20,000 into Knowsley Road. So what? Just because you had an average of 14,000 20 years ago, when stadiums were not the issue they are now for the regular punter, doesn't mean that our gate won't increase when we move to a new stadium. Times change. People now demand all sorts of things when being entertained that they didn't even think about when Wigan were buying their success.

Ok for a more modern example as I do take your point.

Bradford.

It most certainly isn't!!

Comparing sizes of the towns isn't a fantastic guide anyway as it suggests only people from within the respective towns will go to watch them which isn't the case.

Could you expand a bit?

So what's the latest ticket sales figures then?

Lets get back on topic then

Beyond gutted I can't go tomorrow.

Have another exiled Saint schoolmate coming over from Southampton to Guildford to watch it with me and have sent the gf out shopping with friends so no inane in-game questions



Enjoy the game everyone - here's to a mammoth crowd and a mammoth match.

I thought he'd moved to Northampton...?
