The 8,000 gate against Wigan a couple of years back involved 2,750 + travelling fans, so we could safely expect the same. Leigh may well bring 500+, so there's 3,250. Add the 2,500 odd hard core QRL fans and we are nearly at 6,000. Next up are the amateurs and the schools...another potential 4,000......and then you have the occasionals, the curious and the corporates....not too hard if planned correctly
We took 5 coaches [ paid for by sponsors but with £14 admission ] and around 400/450 in total up to Gateshead a month ago , With us not visiting them or Toulouse next year if you were playing W1g4n in a double header I would expect around 500 as you suggest if marketed properly
We do have a fairly large group of fans [ the salmon army
' dont ask ' ] who make weekend trips for anywhere more than 50 miles away , with an event as you describe many more would be interested in attending
Once again Mr Gutterfax you have identified a n opportunity , but will they have the foresight to see the benifits
