Yeah it is. If you say Saints got a 7% lower crowd than Leeds then I think most people would say thats pretty close. Although I would expect Saints crowds to be down this season.

So now the attendances have been discussed to death, did any one actually enjoy the games or was everyone just counting heads????

There was a game on? I was counting heads, the buggers kept moving, thank Christ no-one swaps ends at half-time anymore.

Its not pretty reading. Still a little too early to be sure but any drop over the season of 10 percent or more is a cause for serious concern. Nowt wrong with posting these figures - if it smooths out closer to last year over a few more games, good, if not, maybe people will wake up to the problems instead of shouting down those that question things as being 'anti-RL'. The people worrying about attendances are worried about the game, and are probably some of the biggest fans out there.

Bull plop they are

They think they are, but they don't actually say anything constructive, or make valid suggestions to cause and correction - they just whine and moan

Re: Opening SL weekend sees attendances tumbling by 12.66% : Sat Feb 16, 2013 9:48 pm  

I'm sure I heard on TV the Bradford announcer said 10,724? Maybe I misheard.

Oh dear, still at it after all these years?

Round 3 attendance figures, 2012

Bradford Bulls 16-54 Wigan Warriors 12909
Hull Kingston Rovers 36-36 St. Helens 7610
Widnes Vikings 18-38 Salford City Reds 5053
Hull FC 22-14 London Broncos 10096
Widnes Vikings 18-38 Salford City Reds 5053
Catalan Dragons 28-20 Castleford Tigers 7488
Huddersfield Giants 22-32 Warrington Wolves 8184
Bradford Bulls 16-54 Wigan Warriors 12909
Leeds Rhinos 44-40 Wakefield Trinity Wildcats 12272

2012 Round 3 average = 9063.78
2013 Round 3 average (prior to Sunday's games) = 9915.4

That can't be right surely, it's almost 10% higher in 2013.
