Eddie 4,147 Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Good to hear. I’ve changed my view of Toulouse over the last few months and really hope they won promotion if this season happens. 3 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I used to think people championed them just because they’re French and from a well known place, whereas in reality they’re the third ticket (at best) in town and have small crowds, so I didn’t think they’d add much to SL. However now I can see what a forward thinking and well backed club they are, which is more than can be said for many over here. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’d expect it to be closer to 3,000 at the start. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Based on the massive crowd increase that Catalans was able to achieve after joining Super League, I would think that projections of crowds of 7'000 by Toulouse are not overly optimistic. 3 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yipyee 1,019 Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 All this talk of attendance has made me point out that attendance figures alone are not relative to income It certainly is a kpi but this needs to be broken down to how much a ticket, how many corporate hospitality, boxes etc.. Most football clubs (including club wembley) see the fans worth attracting are the prawn sandwich brigade Also one good sponsor can offset 1000 fans.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like most clubs, a lot is going to depend how they go, be competitive in games and win a few then the chances of 7K are good, get battered every week and the gates will no doubt suffer, they will need to attract and keep a lot of new fans to get to 7K as there’s not really that much of a current core, you can’t do that if every game is a foregone conclusion before a ball is kicked.

Why are the chances of getting to 7k good? They get around 1k home fans at the moment. Would you say Oldham or Sheffield Eagles chances of getting 7k were good if they went up and started the season well too? The jump from what they get now to 7k is enormous.

They average around 3k , and over 5k twice and over 6k once for big matchs in championship . Since they move To ernest wallon stadium they allready average one more k in the beginning of last season. In SL they will esealy average 6k the first season. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hela Wigmen 2,775 Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Get them promoted and give them the big Super League clubs in summer months as they did with Catalans for years. You’ll get four figure away followings from 5-6 clubs on top of what they can add, which will be a decent amount, I imagine. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They share with Toulouse RU and the capacity there, according to Wikipedia at least, is 19,500. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
