HaxbyKnight Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 In fairness Paul, that is a lot to do with Bradford taking a big following to matches. If you take the Bulls attendance out of those figures, I doubt there will be too many showing an increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEANO Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Would say all averages are up due to Bradford being in town sometimes you have to take a step backwards to move forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said a couple of months back on the general forum Doncaster were devaluing their product by selling season tickets so cheaply but a few disagreed with me. Apparently ahead of the match on social media some were saying £15 is a rip off so it just shows that selling tickets for equivalent of £4.61 a match is all well and good until you put prices back up, then you have to work ten times as hard to get those same fans to pay 3 times as much to get in. Doncaster are also doing a similar offer for next season, IMO the only way they'll retain any extra fans when they put prices back up (which they'll have to do at some point) is by securing promotion next season. I hope York never go down that route. Up the full price season ticket Kneets :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 300 down from the average attendance for a big game,it shows that there is no appetite for game in Doncaster at the moment and how long can there go on with the 60pound season ticket.

spanishknight Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Nearly as many watching York ladies as at Donny v Town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Keepmoat is awful for this level of rugby league. I've been a couple of times, and finding oneself surrounded by 14,000+ empty seats is absolutely no fun at all. Tattersfield (in its latter years, at least) was a much better arena. Sharing Castle Park (an appropriate size) with Doncaster Knights RU would suit the Dons more than the Keepmoat.

AB Knight Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 A few City fans wondered what the Knights average crowds are this season. I've worked out the difference between the clubs, makes for interesting reading (perhaps!): City Avg 2013-14: 3773 Knights Avg 2013: 735 Difference +3038 City 14-15: 3554 Knights 14: 628 +2926 City 15-16: 3218 Knights 15: 428 +2790 City 16-17: 2570 Knights 16: 592 +1978 City 17-18: 2755 Knights 17: 1088 +1687 City 18-19 (so far): 2557 Knights 18: 1628 +929 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenton Knight Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I do look forward to your stats AB. I think, as far as the Knights are concerned, we will break through the 2,000 barrier next season, with a stronger side, greater away support, more meaningful games as well as the new Stadium factor. Unfortunately City continue to struggle but I hope they soon turn the corner, and they too, have the new Stadium to look forward to, so should see a decent increase on this season. I’d love to see the place packed out for both clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB Knight Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 I think with even bigger away support (as well as more home fans) next season the average should be pushing 2500 which would be a fantastic effort. No reason why the fixtures against Bradford, Featherstone, Halifax, Toronto and Widnes can't break 2,500 alone. One of the City fans who comments on York Press (he always has a dig at James Ford) reckons the Knights estimate their home crowds which is rubbish. I don't care what he think, one club is on the up, the other is treating its paying customers with contempt, just look at the condescending Q+A session on the Press.
