In the days of the iPhone, G1 etc can you make statements like that?

Leigh's super league crowds were ok for a side that got thrashed nearly every game, and only won 2 games all season. Nice witty posts by you all, but you cannot defend some of Celtic + Harlequin's regular pathetic crowds.
Jeez, 2245 - that is truly awful, and an embarassment to Super League.
Do you think that is an acceptable crowd, how do you manage, seriously.

I await your witty respones

p.s. Yes, I know Leigh Centurions have a 5hite team, we have no chance of making the non promotion league play offs, what a shame.

But will they manage to get 5 points like Leigh did in 2005 ????

All Harlequins Rugby League fans will agree with you when you say that our crowd figures are unnacceptable. In most of the game threads it is a recurring theme. The management are taking tiny steps to show they are doing something about it. The fans wan't it to happen sooner rather than later. The team wan't larger crowds, The Coach wants larger crowds. We will always struggle on the crowd front until the marketing is sorted out. It will happen, maybe not this season but our success on the park will go a long way to attracting the numbers to fill the seats.

ps I hope the words were not long or complicated for you to comprehend

Which do you think there are more of ?

1) thick northeners
2) southern jessies

Dude - the time for wit is over, you have been crushed in that department.

Noone is happy with the attendances - but you miss the point and that is that sometimes, about half of your crowds in that era were away fans.
It's no surprise that your big attendances were v's Warrington, Saints and Wigan as they're local derbies. It's easier to get to Hilton Park than Wilderspool from some areas of Warrington. And derbies always bring out bigger crowds. London's nearest derby side is 3 hours away.

Have a good look at these stats which tell you a clearer picture:

3,201 v's London - suspect London took 50, so you provided 3,150.
3,213 v's Wakey - they MUST have provided 200 or more, so you're still at circa (that means 'about') 3,000 or less.

When you do the estimates, you didn't appear to have many more than 3k harcore fans; which I suspect London aren't far from too. And you haven't suffered from dragging your sorry self across the city every 4 years or so to a new location.....

Keep watching from your ivory tower - I suspect you'll see the average here rise as the season progresses.

See what I mean about wit. You're about as funny as leprosy.

I suspect they will, and I suspect their points differential will be substantially better than the -765 points you shipped (seriously, I had to check that a number of times, it was so hard to believe, got to be a SL record...!)
