Thousands of Hull KR fans turned up late, did they?

The revised attendance would suggest not.

All well and good but seeing as the main finance for the game is from eyes on the box this tells what?

Re: Opening weekend sees attendances soaring by 12.70% : Sun May 11, 2014 9:55 pm  

I guess it tells us that some clubs have forgotten how to sell themselves in there towns or cities, or they've stopped manipulating attendance figures upwards, or that fans have got board with there clubs having nothing whatsoever to play for over the last 3 or 4 seasons in and out of SL
