11,307 at the KC about 400 up on last season.

Saints crowd was 11,818 according to their own site (and corrected the score ) http://www.saintsrlfc.com/results/match-report/3536 No idea how that compares

Correct, but a lower attendance for that particular fixture than turned up in 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007 (twice), 2006, 2005, 2004 (twice) and 2003.

Also 8,759 at huddersfield as opposed to the incorrect 7,200. Where are all of these false attendances coming from?

This seems like a dis-infomation campaign.

Conspiracy theorist unite.

Is this revenge for the RFL putting out the statement on the opening weekend about RU and RL comparative viewing figures and crowds.

I've never known week after week such massive differences in actual and reported attendances.

The figure for Saints was less than half the true figure. Some one is being a very naughty boy.
