We literally have people blaming the RFL, and having a pop at them, for being on course to set the 2nd best attendance levels in the history of the game. They are always going to be to blame.

SL attendances Rounds 1 to 6 by year

Year...... Tot Att/Fixtures..... Avg

SL 2013... 356,359/41 = 8,692 * Not incl re-arranged Leeds/Widnes game yet to be played.
SL 2012... 399,758/42 = 9,518
SL 2011... 314,996/35 = 9,000 * Not incl Magic Weekend in Round 1.
SL 2010... 388,392/42 = 9,247
SL 2009... 378,925/42 = 9,022
SL 2008... 372,315/36 = 10,342
SL 2007... 353,907/36 = 9,830
SL 2006... 347,712/36 = 9,658
SL 2005... 335,823/36 = 9,328
SL 2004... 333,996/36 = 9,278

This season is therefore placed 5th in terms of total attendance levels from Rounds 1 to 6 in the last decade.

This season is therefore placed 10th and last in terms of average attendance from Rounds 1 to 6 in the last decade.

Yes, you are right. Those figures are incomplete.

I fully expect that when we have good attendances, and those figures become more complete, and present a less bias and more positive picture, you will go as quite as you do in October every year or after you make offensive anti-semitic jokes or after you throw a big hissy fit about how you arent coming on here anymore and then we will see you sneak back under another name. But at least you committing so fully to this thread means when you are shown up you will leave for a while, so there is an upside.

UPDATE...
SL Round 7 attendances - comparison to same fixtures last year

Leeds V Wigan in 2013 = 15,524
Leeds V Wigan in 2012 = 16,113
Percentage decrease in attendance = -3.66%

Salford V Warrington in 2013 = 3,932
Salford V Warrington in 2012 = 6,179
Percentage decrease in attendance = -36.37%

St Helens V Wakefield in 2013 = 12,105
St Helens V Wakefield in 2012 = 13,177
Percentage decrease in attendance = -8.14%

32 out of 44 SL fixtures in 2013 have now registered a fall in attendance compared to the same fixtures between the same teams last year.

Then you will be able to gloat, but until then, the figures speak for themselves

I'm still waiting for Smokey to justify his statement that SL is on course to set the 2nd best attendance levels in the history of the game, despite available evidence to the contrary pointing to total attendance levels being 5th best out of the last 10 seasons whilst average attendances being the worst in a decade!

I don't know where you got the 2013 figure from for this match but at the game the attendance was recorded as 11,200.

I have basically already accepted that this sport is on its booty and given up caring.

William Eve getting a stat wrong? Surely not?!

'Sporting Life' are quoting 12105, BBC website report didn't quote a figure.
