The police are a much more violent set of individuals.

Anyone got any theories about WHY the attendances are up this year? What's different than last year or the year before for that matter. If anything I would have guessed they would have gone down with money being tighter etc.

Is it the youngsters making games more interesting? Or people realising the old ground wont be there much longer and wanting to 'relish' it before it goes? Or is it just better marketing? I know the season ticket sales were up before the season even started. Or is it just a fluke of fixtures so far?

There must be something in the air this year. What do people think?

having warrington, leeds and the hull teams at home doesnt hurt
salford did though
with cas / wakey flying they should bring a decent crowd though

Good marketing
Budgeting that kids shirt sell most and offering season tickets with them provides more bums on seats or feet on terraces.

Thats my opinion anyways
