Started reading this thread, saw SmokeyTA had started quoting people, closed thread and moved on.

RIP "The 2016 Ave club attendance" thread.

There is literally no objective measure for success you will accept. The bar for success according to your gymnastics is literally nothing.

No you're just reading what you want to read and carrying on like a child having a sulk.

What are they then. It's an either or situation here. There are things we can judge it on or there aren't. Indulge in all the rhetorical gymnastics and terrible metaphors and similes you like.

Oh well. This could have been such a good thread

Yeah it was brilliant when people were making up away fan attendances.

Nope, it couldn't ever have been a good thread.

Threads on attendances bring out the worst in a lot of RL fans.

Even when facts on attendances and trends are posted, it causes many fans to enter into a state of spontaneous combustion when attendance figures don't fit in with their insular, cultist views on their club or Super League in general.

I have the attendance figures requested earlier on this thread but, sadly, I won't be sharing.

How do super 8 attendances compare to regular season attendances?

Aw come on. Especially if they're after the 11 home games.

I'd be interested to see them if you can PM them in any way.

I posted on the Wakefield board that we were the lowest attendance for Wigan and Hull but third highest for Cas.
We posted an improvement but we are starting from such a small position that improvement still leaves us low down.
We are of course limited and helped by our stadium.
We have a massive atmosphere when we have 7k because it's near capacity whereas Huddersfield or Hull could close three stands for that many, yet Hull (as an example) have massive crowds compared to ours, partly because the stadium is so much better and a nicer place to watch sport
