Toronto will bring more fans to us so we are quids in.

Leeds brought about 100 to us at the start of the season, then about 5 last week

"Best supported club in super league" according to their fans.

Toronto will bring far more than that should they replace Leeds

Be the same as Catalans away support

Fair weather supporters?

Supporting a winning team is easy, have Leeds supporters forgotten that when a team is stuggling that's when they really NEED the support? And as Rovers supporters, unfortunately we know.

If Leeds did get relegated I thought they'd bounce straight back and keep the support. I'm less convinced now.

As for declining spectators, Leeds' own are also falling year on year - not something Hetherington admits though.

Leeds avg attendance at home was staying consistent around 15-15.5 for a decade before the stadium work in the last two seasons. Only next season if Leeds are still in SL can we properly judge if they’ve dropped with a fully open stadium to work with.

Has their away following decreased, yes but ANY club would see a noticeable difference in the same circumstances. If they didn’t and their away support was the same when the winning trophies as it was when they were near the bottom then it only actually show a failure by that club NOT to INCREASE crowds during successful periods. I don’t think any club brings as many away to Headingley as they did 10 years ago.

Actually, best supported club according to the statistics. 12,638 as of this weekend just gone. Given they are at the bottom end if the table and playing like crap, i find it ironic that a fan of the top team with fewer fans feels the need to troll their fans...... Did mummy not give you enough cuddles?
