The Virtual Terrace • Re: Who is the bigger club, Hull FC or Warrington?

Hull have the potential for bigger attendances at present, no doubt about that. Warrington however, despite being a smaller town/city do have an advantage of location <IF> Rugby League were to increase in popularity. There's a huge untapped and very affluent region from Cheshire southwards that doesn't yet have any links or allegiance to a RL club. I guess time will tell if the new Super League management can do anything to bring us out of being a minority sport. If we can get the children of the residents of that region (many who have moved here from further south) to become life-long fans of the club we are certainly setting ourselves up for a brighter future and helping the expansion of RL.

The one thing I am glad with Warrington is that we are very stable, own our modern stadium and utilise our resources carefully to enable us to be self-sustaining. Added to that are a couple of extremely wealthy owners who HOPEFULLY can take us from being a big club to a championship-winning one. It's a nice position to be in, even if it is slightly fortuitous.
