The stand holds 4054 that is reserved seating its just over 3800 for unreserved.. Around 1000 seats were covered up by sponsors drapes and even then the stand wasn't full.. So 2300 is probably right. I will get the official figure tomorrow probably.
But as has already been said it was the best following for hull for 6 years the first time in 3 games any team from hull has posted a 4 figure attendance and only the 5th 2000+ away crowd in 3 years so well done hull fans

When you look at these numbers its also worth noting that prior to SL crowds were considerably lower at some clubs. I started watching Leeds in 1981 and the average that year was about 5.5 k. Even during the Hanley-Schofield era (often cited as a glory period for British RL) the average was nearer 10 k than 15.

Can't remember who it was, one of the usual suspects, that claimed attendances would be up this year BUT only because of London.

So after one round...

Hull KR v Leeds 11811 up from 11526 in 2014
Widnes v Wigan 9269 up from 6223
Saints v Cat 12008 up from 11321
Wire v Salford 11864 up from 10120
Hudds v Hull 7737 up from 6370
Cas v Wakey 10728 up from 9182

Great start to 2015, cheers to all those in London for the hard work.

Yes crowds on average will be higher this year mainly because of London not being in Super League, but a majority of clubs still have a lot of work to do to raise there home crowds by a larger amount.
I remain disappointed with some clubs efforts to get their average crowds up more.

Huddersfield1895? Reads more like an attendance than a user name

Re: 2015 Attendance Thread : Tue Feb 10, 2015 4:30 pm  

It will be interesting to see what Salford’s attendance is this Thursday v St Helens.
The club have done a substantial amount of marketing in the local and surrounding areas with initiatives such as free transport for various schools and local amateur teams. Shame our first game is a Thursday night and on Sky but I would hope it’s higher than the 6,353 who were at the corresponding fixture last season.
