That’s a pretty conclusive argument against your own conclusions Mr Eve. Well done on that!

Anomalies are exactly what they say they are but feel free to draw conclusions from them

Well no, i would certainly warn against you continuing to do so. It’s probably far more sensible to remove a statistical outlier from your results, lest they skew them and result in people drawing unsupported conclusions. This is especially an issue in partial data, and even more relevant to data like this which is partial and with errors in it.

In fact it would be such an issue as to make it obvious that if anyone were to use such an obvious and explainable statistical outlier as part of their evidence to support their conclusion, it would be clear they were trying to present a conclusion based upon their own bias, rather than a true picture of the situation.

The Bradford V Leeds attendance last Friday was the lowest recorded attendance for that particular SL fixture since 1996.

Really? The lowest gate since 1996 for a "derby" fixture and you think that's nice?

The RFL should get you employed straight away...you'd fit right in

By 'heavily discounted tickets on sale ALERT' in relation to the Hudds/Wire game are you referring to the : Buy a full price ticket and get a Challenge Cup ticket half price (saving £4) offer?

Must have gone down a storm with the many Wire fans who made the trip over.

Heavy man!

That's an interesting definition of a full price ticket at Huddersfield these days. Probably goes a long way towards explaining why Huddersfield's home attendances are currently 19.14% down on last year. Can't even persuade enough folk from Hudds to fork out a measly 8 quid for a CC game, so it has to be discounted at 4 quid instead. Richard Thewlis... what a genius... no, really,

Glad you agree that you are talking garbage with the "heavily discounted comment" for the Wire game.

The Warrington and Leeds "double offer" was marketed by Huddersfield at 25 quid for both games. The only one talking garbage here is the one claiming there was no discount involved for the Warrington home game last weekend. That'll be you then.
