....Saints become the second best supported team in SL?
I think our opening attendance on a freezing cold evening of just over 12,000 against Catalan who didnt seem to bring anyone was quite promising
Wigan who have in recent years been up there with Leeds vying for the best average seem to see their crowds declining year on year. I think they played Huddersfield in their first fixture of the 2014 season and the crowd was 16,000 plus. In contrast for last nights home opener they pulled just 400 more than us against Catalan. I accept that Huddersfield don't bring much to the party but a 4000 drop must be a concern. I cannot say that they look to be much of a threat this season on very early season form.
Our start has been quite encouraging and with the general feel good factor around everything the club are doing I would hope that the town really gets behind the team and floods through the gates.
Realistically I do not think big city Leeds crowds can be in our sights just yet but it would be nice to finish second ( for once) come October.
