UK Rugby League Attendances ? : Sat Feb 13, 2016 12:10 pm  

Anyone know why they aren't published anymore on the 'general results' service websites. Sportinglife, BBC Sport & loverugbyleague haven't done so in 2016 (apart from the Wakefield v Widnes game)
Not important I know, just seems a little odd.

I don't know, but I have noticed that as well. It may just be laziness on behalf of the reporters as many of them still have a spot on the report for the attendance but it isn't being filled

Well, we used to get a comprehensive analysis on here before a certain poster was hounded off this board, poor William, he tried, sighed & died.

At least the new shirt thread still thrives.

are attendances up on last year for 1st round games?

I'm assuming it is just laziness of sorts. Nothing has changed in terms of publishing the attendances so it will probably resolve itself in a few weeks.

I think it must be an RFL policy because the attendances aren't even being provided on rugby-league.com. I don't think it's lazy journos. I'm finding it annoying.

Same applies to most rugby union games for some reason - must be a journalistic thing.

At least it stops people claiming there were more there,there were less there,it's because they were cheap tickets etc.

There was pretty solids grotwh on what was a good opening weekend of attendances in 2015. Was an article on sky sports website saying they were up 8% overall

Could be that the clubs don't get them to the press before their print deadlines. They were in League Express last week.

Try checking club twitters, tend to put the attendances on there after games. Catalans reported 10,234 last night which is decent.
