Anybody know the average league attendance at the ROVERS this season

[GARY....S]

If you are from the rfl it is 2,876

[dydo]

2282 is our average league home attendance this season .

[GAZ1983]

short of the "magical, mythical" figure then!...

[jt]

Might be short but how does it compare to last season average if it more we are doing things right.
How does it compare to to the rest of the league average and the worst attended team in S/L average

[gazza77]

As with much the club is doing, another step in the right direction.

[petesmithfan]

Massive step in the right direction. I dont know the exact percentage but i would have thought its a large increase on last years, which takes some doing well done to all

[The Phantom Horseman]

One thing to remember is that a lot of our home gates have been achieved with very small contributions from away supporters. If you look at London's gates, for example, they seem to have a hardcore of about 1500-1750 home fans but gates tend to be doubled (or more than doubled) when the likes of Wigan etc visit. If we are getting well over 2,000 against Championship teams that don't bring many fans, we'd surely be at 4,000+ in SL?

[The Phantom Horseman]

for instance, as examples of the impact travelling support (and of course a high-profile opponent for the home fans to watch too) these are some of London's home attendances this season:
Salford 1517
Catalan 1829
Huddersfield 1970
Widnes 2117
Wakefield 2268

but also
Leeds 3628
Hull 3930
Wigan 4309
St Helens 4924

we would get some big crowds against a lot of teams in SL.

[GAZ1983]

due to the proximity of those top clubs we'd get more bud pretty obvious.and that mythical 2500 they keep bangin on about's been blown right out the water cos their "pet team" aka Bronco's cant get that to 70% of their games

Interesting. Some as you might expect in there, but I wonder why the York attendance was so much lower than the others?

[jt]

Just shows that the extra hard work for this weekend attendance paid off well done to everyone

I think that game was switched to Saturday at rather late notice. Could have had an effect.

[The Phantom Horseman]

think the York Saturday night game also clashed with the Champions' League final which might not have helped

[Griff]

Our fabled away support ensured that our game's attendance was well above average, then.

Assuming you've listed them in order, it was also the 1st game after our tonking by Fax. Might have had an effect.

Griffin is however a synonym of fool.

Griff might be a lot of things Colin, but just trust me on this one, he's not a fool.
