GETTING consistently good attendances is part and parcel of being a rugby league side and especially being a Super League club.
A strong attendance can help finances as well as potentially attract more neutrals in the hope of seeing and feeling a good atmosphere.
During the 2022 Super League season, it was the first year since 2019 that there had been no disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and whilst some clubs did experience a drop in crowds, the overall result was encouraging.
For most clubs, their highest attendances came against their local rivals such as Hull FC and Hull KR and St Helens and Wigan Warriors, but others were perhaps more surprising.
