bamfordsbeans Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I know we have had declining attendances for the last 3 or 4 years for the majority of clubs-but is there a deliberate attempt to hide this fact this year.I have been on the RFL,Sky Sports,and the RFL sites and there is no mention of any of the crowds so far this season.Have I missed an area where this information is available?

deluded pom? Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Someone posted elsewhere what a good crowd there was on Thursday but like you I can't seem to find the actual figure anywhere online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RL & LE yearbooks Superleague 2010 8730 2011 8879 2012 9431 2013 8473 2014 8041 2015 8751 Championship 2010 1596 2011 1590 2012 1185 2013 1020 2014 1095 2015 1773 I don't really see any great decline here, there was a load of RFL spin last year that caused a big debate, but happily this year we can just accept we have the audience we have. If attendances were censored then we'd all take that as a cover up to hide something.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Frightful Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Someone posted elsewhere what a good crowd there was on Thursday but like you I can't seem to find the actual figure anywhere online. I saw it online yesterday as 16,600 when I looked summat else up. Don't ask me what it was I was looking up as the Whalebone ale did for me. With Halloween coming up I decided to go to my local fancy dress shop to see if I could get a Dracula costume. After a few minutes the assistant handed me a Hull KR shirt asking "Is this suitable?", I replied "I think you may have misheard me, I said I wanted to look like a count."

Spidey Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 After a bit of digging around on Twitter and club websites: 12,269 Hull FC - Salford 16,168 Leeds - Warrington 13,436 Wigan - Catalans 10,408 Saints - Huddersfield 10k+ expected at Hull KR. Probably say 5k at Waley. 10k+ average opening weekend not too bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Frightful Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Not been in the 'bone for many a year. Do you enter via Wincolmlee or Lincoln St? Wincolmlee mate, you should try it, you don't know what you're missing. Quality real ales, pickled eggs, crisps and a black and white landlord. Ullman, RoyBoy, my good self and a few others will be in for the Catalans fixture a week today if you fancy joining us.

Appley bridge dragon Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 The Leeds attendance was on the BBC match report, all the others available on the club's websites. All seemed decent crowds to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan30058 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I also have noted the disappearance of att. stats Not being on Twitter I could find nothing anywhere. And I also am not number obsessed but interested in crowds as part of the whole game experience. Anywhere you go to where RL is the conversation crowds are always one of the main topics.

redjonn Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I saw it online yesterday as 16,600 when I looked summat else up. Don't ask me what it was I was looking up as the Whalebone ale did for me. maybe blurred eyes too... at the match the loud speaker said 16,1xx that is One hundred and something, didn't hear what. The rhinos web site says 16,168. Wouldn't bother with that web site anyway given info was given but whomever reported a different number, unless the beer impacted yer eye too, that is.

bamfordsbeans Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Just been on the RFL,Sky,and BBC sites and the only crowd listed is the Wakefield one.Strange development as the game has always been open with attendances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled Wiganer Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 is that for first round or vs catalan... Dunno, but it was a certainly a lot higher than last year's Catalans' game. If our first home game was against Brisbane it was a lot lower of course. As Parky wrote, it was fine - neither a triumph nor disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE RED ROOSTER Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 One thing that's not mentioned is the number of times SKY show the same sidse on TV . If I was a fan of St Helens, Wigan, Leeds or Warrington I could expect to see all the big games involving my club for free if I was a SKY subscriber. So if you want to avoid the wind,.rain,and chilly M62 evenings or if the prospect of finding youself seated next to an individual with body odour issues for the season does not appeal then. Sit down in the armchair after a hard days work, pull open a can and sup ale while watching the game - much cheaper and no public transport issues in the evening either. Perhaps this is one reason why Wigan are seling four packs - For fans who want to see the games that are not televised? http://www.wiganwarriors.com/news/2016-02-02-plenty-get-flexi You could even get a programme subscription meaning you saw the whole of your clubs home matches and many away even though your actual visits to the ground were few. Back in the Richard Lewis era SKY had a brain wave to purt all matches on Super League Fridays on the red button.before some sanity came to the fore from Red Hall who realised if it was all available via SKY who would turn up? Yet in the 8/8/8 you could see it all even if some of it was on SKY Internet and on Friday you got both Wigan v Catalans, live highlight of St Helens - Huddersfield and all the tries from Hull v Salford.- a neat little Friday Night package. Now if you are far from the geographical seclusion of the M62 like myself it's Hobson's choice but how many in "heartalnds" now do as I have advocated here and support their club mainly from the armchair these days and is this really doing anything for the game ?

Appley bridge dragon Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Hull KR website has crowd as 11011. It was reported in the week that it would be a bumper crowd but this appears to have exceeded expectations. These figures are very easy to find.
