.....and you think we have been consistently attracting crowds of that size do you or was that a "one off"? I will leave that to you to decide.

Warrington once played a game in front of 104 K and thats a conservative estimate-they now get 10K weekly, shall we make a judgment on there current performance based on a "one off" crowd.

For me we have gone forwards as we are now selling pies at games and have 2 mascots. Thats about as significant as your one eyed post.

Not knocking you....more interested really....what ground did Warrington play in front of 104,000 people at??

It's awful sitting in the East stand - cramped - sun in your face and surrounded by the opposition. The West LV stand was a much better option all round and if they said we were going back to that next year my money would be in the post today for next season. As it is I'm not sure I'll be having a season ticket at all. In all the years supporting my team they have been let down to a greater or lesser extent by the appalling 'back-room' team. (Chris Warren and Dom excepted). Not enough passion ofr the game or concern for the supporters.

And all these stats - check out the time of year of the game too before you start comparing. It's school holidays now - may get a few more away supporters but home supporters from the 'affluent' south may be away on holiday.

A Daily Star like piece of sensationalism one would suggest- Somewhat simplistic view point I suspect

Simplistic? Sensationalism? Daily Star
Get real.....any other way of representing the crowd figures since we came back to TW2 is spin. I suggest you look at the front page of the quins site and the spin applied to the Leeds crowd on June 20th. A record 2009 attendance figure it may be.......but it was actually the 3rd worse crowd for a visit of the Rhinos since 2000. Polish the turd all you like.......you can't hide the fact it's still a Turd.
How would you rather I represent a drop from a 4,238 average in 2006 to a current average of 3,512?

We could ask Dr Who, or Captain Jack at Torchwood. Then again you could go to Odsal, Belle Vue, Cas or St Helens, at least you would feel you as though you were in the 1950s!
