Wasps vs Leicester today – Wasps first home game of the season at Adams Park, attendance 8,006. Wasps average last year was 8,543 (games played at Adams Park) with the game against Leicester their highest at 10,116

Exeter today – 7,326 after their first home game of the season attracted 9,562

More worrying stats I think

True, but dropping 1800 off your opening match, when one of the big names is in town, is odd.

Indeed - Quins was the third highest attendance for Sale last year at 8,172 - 6,026 this year, lower than any attendance last season

Sale's attendance last night doesn't look to bad when you compare it today's crowds.

And 90% of posts are negative.

The other 10% are Mackenzie's.

London Irish first home game of season at the Madejski today vs Gloucester - attendance 8,267, which is 4,042 less than the same fixture last year and lower than any attendance at the Madejski for the entire 2009-10 season

Leeds Carnegie vs Saracens today - attendance 4,774... 743 more than last year!! (Pity that the two Leeds home games combined are 1,341 less than the corresponding fixtures last year)

So, at the end of two rounds of Premiership rugby, the total attendance at home grounds (i.e. excluding Twickenham double headers) is 168,374 which is 23,039 down on the same fixtures last year (swapping Exeter in for Worcester who were relegated)

As I say, worrying times
