Increasing last year’s average crowd from 7,319 to 7,572 – a season on season increase of around four per cent – it is testament to the passion of Robins fans during an inconsistent year for the team". Those figures are all utter bollox. Just like your posts... but do feel free to provide evidence of Hull KR lying to their fans and the RL public in general. Swearing and calling them liars doesn't really prove much does it.

The team seemingly responsible for showing everyone the regular season doesn't matter and whose fans should be the ones most expected to just turn up at playoff time.

Oh well

The Wigan away attendance there will have been massively affected by Sky, last year they went to Huddersfield on a Saturday, this year was a Thursday. Thursday games are shocking for away attendances.

Out of interest, how can they acutally work that figure out when both sets of fans were in the same stand and most of the Salford fans I went with paid on the gate?

Edit - and indeed, the year before most I know bought through Hudds to get a £10 ticket offer.

exactly! that is the difference, had it been on a sunday those missing 900+ wouldn't have been missing.
we have had some shocking turnouts on thursdays this year.

as for the salford figures, those are estimated based on ticket sales and walk ups. this year salford sold just over 200 pre sold tickets and the club estimate that another 50 paid on the gate and how many seats they took up ( most of you were sat together in the one area), as for last year, then that is an estimation too, 48 pre sold tickets plus extra's on the day/groupon vouchers. obviously they aren't exact figures, just as with london and catalan, it's just guesswork

by my reckoning there was probably a good 20 or so catalan fans and i saw only 5/6 london fans.
