Think that is right. all stats taken from the SuperLeague website.

So it looks like another weekend where attendances are down, couple of good turn outs however, well done to Leeds and St Helens and Widnes (fantastic change for them)

Sorry if there is any incorrect information.

I'm currently away on business so many thanks for the timely update for all our fans of SL attendances. Those figures above appear correct apart from the Hull KR V Wakefield attendance last week which I have recorded as 6,933 as opposed to your figure of 6,993. The only other difference is the Widnes V Hull attendance in 2012 which I have recorded as 4,644 as opposed your figure of 4,664.

My current preliminary totals for Round 15 are as follows (subject to confirmation)...

Total attendance in SL Round 15 = 53,274 (Avg: 7,611)
Total attendance same fixtures last year = 57,921 (Avg: 8,274)
% drop in attendances = -8.02%

Total attendance for 103 fixtures in 2013 = 873,944 (Avg: 8,485)
Total attendance for same 103 fixtures in 2012 = 998,187 (Avg: 9,691)
% drop in attendances = -12.45%

SL 2013: 873,944 (103 fixtures)
SL 2012: 998,187 (same 103 fixtures)
SL 2011: 928,401 (same 103 fixtures except replace Widnes with Crusaders)
SL 2010: 901,412 (same 103 fixtures except replace Widnes with Crusaders)
SL 2009: 907,721 (same 103 fixtures except replace Widnes with Crusaders)

SL attendances in 2013 are 12.45% down on last year, 5.87% down on 2011, 3.05% down on 2010 and 3.72% down on 2009.

25 out of 103 SL fixtures show an increase in attendance compared to the same fixtures last year.

78 out of 103 SL fixtures show a decrease in attendance compared to the same fixtures last year.

I find it more entertaining that Statto who has kept this spreadsheet appreciation thread alive for so long has lost interest in it.

I can assure you that I remain very interested in the SL attendances this year, in particular those of Huddersfield where attendances are currently down by 19.14% when compared to last year, despite the current winning form, the near top of the league placement and the heavily discounted ticket prices. One shudders to field what the attendances might be down by under more realistic form guide and ticket-pricing circumstances.

I haven't followed the whole thread - but this is certainly food for thought. Have you shared your analysis with the RFL?

Up on last years attendance but down on recent previous attendances for that fixture.

2013 - 15,998
2012 - 15,343
2011 - 16,034
2010 - 17,200
2009 - 19,997

Why do you only post historic attendances when it fits your argument?

Re: Opening SL weekend sees attendances tumbling by 12.66% : Sun May 26, 2013 7:40 pm  

According to sporting life, 25,000 was the attendance on Sunday...this represents a drop of 7,953...or 24%.

That is an EXTRAORDINARY drop.......the marketing Guru from City certainly has made an impact

Still down on 2012 though.

Saturday: 30,793 (2012: 30,763)
Sunday: 31,249 (2012: 32,953)

Attended yesterday and last year and enjoyed both occasions, but questions have to be raised as to why no progress has been made in terms of crowds and where this event is heading.

Tickets are already as cheap as they can realistically get for a major event, the weather for 2012 and this weekend was good and the RFL have marketed the event for months.
