christheram Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 At the beginning of season mark sawyer said we'd budgeted for gates of 1300 average.. With still the batley home game to come.. A 2,000 gate would take the average to 1492.. Almost 200 fans extra per home game for what the club had budgeted for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christheram Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I take it only bradford Leigh fev and Halifax have an higher average? So we are the 5th best supported club in the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christheram Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Would be interesting to see the attendance' s home & away over the past 3 years Since batley's slump Wouldn't be surprised if we've failed to.get a gate of 2000+ on a few occasions What's batleys average?

muddyfunster Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 League game average is 1441. We'll be lucky to get that for the Batley game in my opinion - school holidays, declining interest amongst floating fans at this time of year, blazing sunshine (??). You could well be right BSJ were missing the Batley game to the those peski holidays. Would certainly agree that the atmosphere in the second half was rocking The future's bright, the future's RED AMBER & BLACK! http://www.jmgaskets-seals.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blind side johnny Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Would be interesting to see the attendance' s home & away over the past 3 years Since batley's slump Wouldn't be surprised if we've failed to.get a gate of 2000+ on a few occasions In the league last year (ave: 1044) we only had one 2000+ gate and that was against Fev at the start of the season. Attendances always seem to be higher earlier in the season, whilst the initial hope and enthusiasm still burns in all fans (and also when it coincides with Easter holidays), so there were 1999 at home to Batley in April compared with 1160 at their place in August. In 2013 (ave 892) we didn't get anywhere near 2000 for any league game. Batley at home in April drew 1364 and away in June only 1074. We lost both of these games. In 2012 (ave 1114) at their place there were 1353 in April and at ours 1705 in August. Once again we lost both games. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they inflated by freebies or souls through the gate, and I'm not aving a go I don't know how Batley or any other club do it. I am only drawing on what Club England does as I think they add people who aren't actually there on the numbers.

Next few weeks are when the demon summer rugby really takes its toll. 1500 would be excellent but hope I'm wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, having looked at such numbers over many years, anyone who attempts to analyse attendance figures for the club and reach a definitive conclusion will simply be wrong. There is no true pattern and there are a host of variables every single season. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

There is no true pattern and there are a host of variables every single season. Indeed they are and guess that was the point of my post BSJ. However I am very confident that if we took away fans out of it we would have a gate of 720 every week, falling to 572 once we hit school hols. The main consolation is that it is much higher than the Cheaters.... Anything beyond this is due to who we are playing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lupset Ram Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 You can only say that your attendances are going up if your 'core' support has risen. Our average gates have gone up this season for sure, but with a bit of help from some teams having good away following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolie Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Gates are better than the mid 80's But worse than early 2000 We have a bigger core support than batley for sure And we're a million miles away from cougarmania Would like to us have 2 seasons of winter rugby just to compare where the game is And minus the excuses of summer rugby,days out & holidays I do believe a "thining " of established clubs will take place over time for the game at a lower level to exist In my lifetime seen teams disappear like Chorley / Lancashire lynx Runcorn /Huyton Scarborough Nottingham Mansfield Bramley Kent Cardiff Bridgend Championship my have to turn into super league 2 Without the funding super league gets But yet still expected to compete A trimming of the fat will come eventually Whether we like it or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christheram Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 London had 40 fans tops on Sunday.. So 870 rams fans... We had a 900 plus gate v haven and I counted 12 haven fans... Our lowest crowds were against Workington and Doncaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
