the article in the ENS tonight seems pointless and very negative . its under the guise of haven hoping for a bumper crowd against cas but goes on to say how the league attendnace dropped by 400 per game on the 2005 season cant see why the club wouldn't provide or want all the info going to press
id be intrested to know who wrote this as there are one or two glaring omissions that would make the article read a whole different way
in 2005 the CAS league game we had 4560 attenadacne against 3109 for widnes the equivelant game in 2006
leigh at home (big crowd expected) on same day as englands world cup game (quarter final i think) hence leigh brought about 100 if we were lucky you would expect about 500
hull kr brought a very weak team and the 1000 that travelled to the away games with them all season was about 250 at most
that accounts for about 2500 missing in just 3 games
i know its only spin and it depends how you look at it but with this info in print then the article looks a lot different you could go on to say we had barrow at home in 2005 against york at home in 2006 so a difference there
my point is the club allow negative stuff in to the press with out defending it or trying to make it more positive
while looking at this found the link below which is interesting
