distantdog Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Thought I would do a litle research on attendances as I think the general perception on here from many (including myself) is that attendances are dwindling. https://rugbyl.blogspot.com/ Considering that Hull KR and Bradford left our division to be replaced by Toronto and Barrow, one could argue that attendances have stayed relatively stable since 2016!

phildog Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Is that supposed to be average home attendance? Must have been 2 or 3 massive attendances to have 3 seasons-worth of around 1100 averages.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredm Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Presumably these figures include those who are using the hospitality boxes, so perhaps whilst it looks a bit sparse on the open terracing/seated stands there are a considerable number "hidden" away out of sight.

9' oller Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 We always scan terraces and stands but boxes bars and board room can't be visible. But do players tickets, sponsors and freebies get added up? 'Shaw cross juniors, Birkenshaw, Mirfield, Heckmondwike Panthers, Stainland Stags and then the Heavy woolen donkeys...

The attendance was the number of people there. Would you rather we just counted the 500 who might have turned up for a normal fixture against them?

Where did l state it was about how much people paid to get in? There were that many through the gate. Why pretend there wasn't? Should we ignore the London attendance because it was discounted too?
