I will retireve this thread at the end of the season, I can guess what the figures will look like. I am having a stab in the dark at Cas being about 2000 better off.

Great, hope that makes you sleep better at night!!!

Honestly l don't see the big deal!! It really does not seem to holding us back half as much as some suggest or would like!

Yes you average more than us.....but that is not stop us putting together a team that is arguably more competitive than yours! It does not stop us generating a great deal of money through our corporate facilities, it does not stop us developing our young talent........and imagine what 'we' could do if and when the new stadium is built!!!!

looking at the league table would you not say our teams are as competetive as each others?

Yes i would, but maybe if you look back at the last few years you may see the point.

Bigger crowds have not really helped have they ( well they have helped you survive relegation and come back up for sure) hey i don't care anyway i'm off to Hull to enjoy a game of RL played on grass.

I was not disputing any of that (Except I don't agree your team is more competitive than ours, I would say from the league table we are pretty evenly matched). We have been discussing crowd figures and thats why I commented on that.

quite ironic that whilst the argument over who as the biggest tally-whacker continues no one picks up on the fact that the biggest attendance of all the games was when we both played .
very true cas have a great following , but so many other fans of different SL clubs normally state that wakey bring more than a lot of other clubs including cas to their grounds.

we all read the crap about belle vue and the "I'm not off to that @@it hole " on this board , unfortunately that's the case for many would be wakey fans . A few years ago i did not take my kids to BV at all , but took them to warrington , hull , wigan , huddersfgield because i was more comfatable with the set up.

i dare say that i think all talk is academic until we both have are new fortresses and then and only then will this pointless argument ever be solved.

BTW my mums really hard and i know where some of you live

l did say arguably!! And probably would not have said that if we had not just beaten you.

lets wait till the end of the regular season on that then.

So what you're suggesting is that somehow we both get together to make a really big club? A kind of joint venture maybe?

Oh, what's the word I'm looking for....?

I can see this debate going off the boil.... getting, erm, Calder, as it were.!

Sorry to hi-jack the 'average attendance' debate, but can the figures for all SL clubs be trusted? After all there's no way HKR are averaging the figure quoted. I once drove within 50 miles of CP on game day and the queue for season ticket holders only was phenomenal, their average is nearer the 125,000 mark I suspect!
