I am sure you will. No-one with an ounce of sense could deny that about Leeds under the current administration.

I don't know the answer to that but in the SL Era it has never been achieved.



There would only be four teams in with a shout in Bradford, Hull, Leeds and Wigan.



Bradford's best sequence was 56 between 14th September 2002 and 18th August 2006



The other three's best runs are their current ones



98 - Leeds - 8th August 2003 to date

69 - Wigan - 5th August 2005 to date

55 - Hull - 4th August 2006 to date

6 months to pay off a season ticket?



Hmm





Could possibly stretch to that.

Quote Omar Little="Omar Little"Also I read somewhere else that Hetherington said that season ticket sales were slightly down but corporate sales were up (sorry can't find the article now) - so all the wigan fans etc can probably stop worrying - I'm sure we'll continue to be a club run on a sound financial footing for the foreseeable future '" www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/l ... 6709873.jp If Leeds have a really bad season their turnover may even fall below £10,000,000 That's us screwed then.

All hail Darth!!!

Applying its literal translation, I'm not sure there's much "shameful" about Leeds season ticket sales for 2011 that the average Bulls fan can take "joy" in either.



Don't have the figures to hand, but how do the two clubs stack up in terms of season ticket revenue, assuming an "average" season ticket price and known sales to date?

What's your problem? I wasn't having a go.



Did not realise one had to contend with the semantics police on here now.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you Adey.



I didn't think you were "having a go", just pointing out that the reason there's little interest in gloating from the Bulls supporters may be because the Leeds figures aren't actually that bad put in the context of the current economic climate.



Hence the follow-up question about whether X amount of discounted season tickets will actually realise more revenue for the Bulls than Y amount of full price ones at Leeds - although I appreciate there are unquantifiable benefits such as matchday spend (assuming each ST holder actually turns up to every game).

Would you not concede that the big rise in attendances at Leeds Rhinos was in a large part due to the sharp decline of Leeds United about the same period.



And could the reverse happen if Leeds United return to the Premiership?

Fans only have a certain amount of money to spend.

Nope - next.



I'd had say it had a hell of a lot more to do with the product on the field improving, the club becoming more successful as a result and increasing its profile in that way than fans deserting Leeds United and deciding they would go watch the rugby instead.

These are the Leeds totals season by season for the Headingley SL Regular Rounds:



1996 ..... 8,581

1997 ..... 10,998

1998 ..... 12,164

1999 ..... 13,482

2000 ..... 12,674

2001 ..... 12,881

2002 ..... 12,157

2003 ..... 12,846

2004 ..... 16,028

2005 ..... 17,012

2006 ..... 15,677

2007 ..... 17,558

2008 ..... 17,043

2009 ..... 15,774

2010 ..... 15,355



If someone wants to do a similar list charting Leeds United's demise then they are welcomed to do so.

Do people use the same argument about Wigan Athletic ?

Given that they are a Premiership club does that mean that Wigan RL should really have 25K crowds but lots of them go to the football instead ?
