Get on the blower with magic Super beetle, he'll show you how to do a table.



Funny that the overall upward trend peaked in 2012

Re: Opening weekend sees attendances soaring by 12.70% : Sun Sep 14, 2014 5:58 pm  

The end of cheap tickets in Bradford and Wakefield no doubt probably contributed to that fall after 2012. Bradford's drop contributed on average 246 week on week. I suspect you'd see a more stagnant set of figures if those inflated figures were dropped down to a more natural level of say 8.5k.

Worry is that some big clubs seem to be in a downhill trend.

Hull 13,000 to 11,000 over past 5 years
Wigan 15k to 14k
Wire 10k to 9k

Re: Opening weekend sees attendances soaring by 12.70% : Sun Sep 14, 2014 6:15 pm  

I'm disappointed that William has not spotted the amazing coincidence that seems to have occurred regarding the attendances for Salford's last two home games.

: Sun Sep 14, 2014 6:22 pm  

The difference between the crowd for the wigan/warrington game this year and last year says it all about Thursday nights. Rightly or wrongly people are staying away, good for sky not so for us. Would of been good for the RFL to try and take a stand on this when negotiating the last tv deal.

I did spot the amazing coincidence but I'm tired of making reference to the bullshit attendance figures of clubs like Salford and Catalan. Salford's home attendance figures (announced officially or otherwise) are not to be trusted and neither are Catalans home attendances. They are often accompanied by the smell of bullshit.
