I’m a fully fledged southstand member. Other than that I’ve probably been to Knowsley Road more times than a majority of your fans put together who only seem to turn up at Wembley and Old Trafford.

1. Just because you have a ticket doesn't mean you attend
2. EVERY team has a large number of 'fans' who attend finals who wouldn't normally attend the weekly rounds of Superleague. These are generally family members and friends of regular supporters who, quite rightly, view such an event as the great family occasion that they are. A day out to Wembley in the sunshine or in alot of cases a weekend or overnight stay in London is a great way to enjoy both time with family and friends and a superb showpiece sporting event. Maybe if your team had given you more opportunity to experience this you'd understand

Its mainly pubs doing coaches to the events. That’s the only way you’ll get fans in their droves at saints games. If you get the landlords to organise it for them!

Damo, go away under your own steam before you get pushed.

Saints are still the best team in the comp IMO. Every other team including Leeds would love to be where saints are.

My point exactly! A few injuries and a loss dosent change that fact!

What people have got to realise is the club is battling on 2 fronts, superleague itself and the club finance footprint.

The B.O.D. are doing a fantastic job in creating financial security for the clubs future and are presently putting "the house in order" ready for the advent of the new stadium project.

They are also developing the team with home grown talent ready for when the overseas quota is reduced. The clubs who have manipulated 9 or 10 overseas players will struggle in 3 years time, where as Saints and a few other clubs will be ready. I should imagine Mick Potter had been fully briefed on this when signing his contract and we are already seeing how he is shaping the future.

I'm not so sure potter did know we would be losing longy, gilmour, cayless and maybe KC after his 1st year with no signs of any players coming in.

I agree. I'm not too fussed about the result to be honest and i want Leeds to finish 1st! I'm sick of us finishing top and all the talking being about what we're gonna do at Old Trafford. Let Leeds go into Old Trafford as favourites and winners of the hub cap.

Onthe downside side i'm really concerned about our injuries. We look very jaded and with that we're picking up plenty of injuries. One more long term injury to one of our forwards and we're finished for this season.

We also need atleast 2 more signings for next season (2 props).
