slightly going OT but on crowds... We are also leaders for fans at games also. out of our 5 away games, 4 have been highest gates - the bradford game was high but their first home game of the season was v st helens so obviously that would have been higher.

only leeds have more people watch them in total with c.147000 - only because they drew 17,000 v hull fc whilst wigan had 6,000 v salford... pay day for away clubs I think.

According to that table apart from Bradford each team we've played away from home has had their biggest or joint biggest crowd when we've played them. Only hear 'cause it's Wigan?

Not much point passing comment on a table like that till the seasons over.

why not? clearly it shows what we know as catalans = 0 away support and how well wigan away support is, along with the added bonus of wigan playing the home team showing higher attendances. If Bradford didnt start at home to St Helens we'd probably be their best supported match so far before leeds go to odsall.

the only innacurate thing is the overall gates which will be useful after the last weekly round - which I am guessing we will just edge it, as we still have saints and wolves (20,000+) at home to go
