During the current franchised, 14 club, top 8 play-off system SL era... the total attendances in SL to date remain the lowest we have ever witnessed. Neither the replacement of the poorly-supported Crusaders with the better-supported Widnes, or the establishment of 2 new stadia, or the re-establishment of heavily-discounted SL tickets have prevented 2013 SL attendances from being the worst on record so far.

SL Rounds 1 to 15 total attendances comparison (2009 to 2013)
SL 2013 - 984,738 from 110 fixtures plus 7 MAGIC fixtures.
SL 2012 - 1,116,869 from same 110 fixtures plus 7 MAGIC fixtures.
SL 2011 - 1,043,041 from same 110 fixtures plus 7 MAGIC fixtures **
SL 2010 - 1,014,634 from same 110 fixtures plus 7 MAGIC fixtures **
SL 2009 - 1,019,972 from same 110 fixtures plus 7 MAGIC fixtures **

SL 2013 % decrease in attendances
V SL 2012 = -11.83%
V SL 2011 = -5.59%
V SL 2010 = -2.95%
V SL 2009 = -3.45%

** except replace Widnes with Crusaders

A couple of unemployable,illiterate trolls,chatting to each other from their Council owned bed sits - you have to feel sorry for the sad,lonely inadequates,whilst the world moves on around them.

Apparently he was both bullied and ignored as a child - even his mother has disowned him.Gives him something to do,as he tries to remember which day his Benefit cheque comes!

Re: Opening SL weekend sees attendances tumbling by 12.66% : Tue Jun 04, 2013 9:02 am  

Taking out 2012 all in all a slight drop of 5% or less on previous years isn't wrist slashing time considering the state of economies in RL cities and the general consensus that the people running SL at the moment are clueless.

Your posting history on these forums makes very interesting reading. Perhaps you could provide this thread with a positive focus on all the fantastic SL attendances this year and the even more fantastic discounted ticket sales opportunities? Thanks in anticipation. Oh, and congratulations on this particular piece of amazing insight on your part which was in fact a meagre attendance of 5,203 which was 43.41% down on last year, 33.66% down on 2011, 46.07% down on 2010 and an incredible 54.11% down compared to the attendance in 2009.

Have to agree about the Huddersfield attendance. Even allowing for Saints not bringing many and the usual excuse of Monday night and Sky, to scrape just over 5k is poor. Giants are probably playing as well as anyone, still in the Challenge cup and if they do not drop form as previously a good bet to make the Grand Final. Weather was perfect for watching and bad weather does not seem to deter the Union fans who still play in the height of winter. We could learn a heck of alot from Union marketing and promoting much as I hate to say it.
