Leeds expecting a bumper attendance this evening as many fans are wanting to pay tribute to the late Graham Murray prior to tonight's fixture.

Just out of interest, what the Top 14 average attendance? Aviva Premiership?

I have no interest in Union and even less interest in it's attendances so I'm afraid I can't help you. Perhaps someone else can?

It doesn't help attendances when games are played all over Mondays/Thursdays/Fridays/Saturdays and Sundays on sky. The constant chopping and changing of schedules is worse than ever. It would be interesting to see what days the games have been played on vs the days played on last season etc when doing these stats.

Good point Vikingman. Also - what was on telly this year versus what was on telly last year and correlate those answers with attendances. For example If Jeremy Kyle was on on Fridays this year but not last then that's gonna adversely affect the Salford attendances this year. It's worth an analysis but I'm not sure if Mr Eve has the time to go back to the beginning of this thread and work these stats into the numbers.

A negative decrease is actually an increase.

If the RFL read this thread, that would be their conclusion
