What's the point of that?

Shall we compare crowds at a top English football club with a crowd at a not so big Australian football club?

Boring.

Surely everyone has smartphones these days? Can’t they just all put their lights on that? Several thousand phone lights would probably do the trick.

This shows you how my mind works. When I read your post my first thought was not modern, battery operated torch, it was flaming torch as in angry mob with torches and pitchforks!

Indeed, as happened in the original game but that wouldn't sound as good as my original quip

Think we sold out earlier in the season too there if I remember rightly - if any Wiganers miss out there's usually some left in the home stands (which is what I did first time round).

Could have been funny if Leigh were ever behind in the first place

Rovers have now sold out their second allocation of tickets for Wakefield a week on Friday. I've no idea why we didn't just get all the tickets we could in the first place, after the amount we took to Huddersfield (and what a noise..!) I really wouldn't be surprised if there's more Rovers fans at Wakey next week than home fans.

It's our 2nd closest away game (still over an hour...), so expect a big following. What's Trinity's best attendance of the season so far?

Hard choice for Dom Young. 

29,548 in Newcastle or 5,263 at Huddersfield.

And next season sub 10k Roosters crowds

The phones, yes it did, to the sound of 'Derek, Derek pay your bills' from the Giants fans.

They haven't announced it

[AB Knight]

1,213 last Sunday for York Valkyrie vs Huddersfield Giants Women. Very good turnout, and so many faces that I don’t see at the men’s games.

Great attendance. Similar for Leighs game too v Barrow I believe.

Not this time, but all 593, 594,600and 658 buses have been cancelled so all 4500 of ya are gonna have to walk home

Most probably live in exile though!

It’ll be around 10,500, that’s the current capacity. Attendances seem up significantly this year, although as someone else said, we haven’t announced them yet

Very positive.

With York Valkyrie I think the Knights should research why a lot of fans watch the women’s team but not the men’s. Obviously I don’t spend all game looking at every single person and thinking have I seen them at a men’s match, but over the years you start to recognise faces, I reckon as a rough estimate maybe 1 in 3 only go to women’s games. I find it fascinating. Not sure if it’s the more slightly relaxed family atmosphere, the fact it’s cheaper, the women’s team being more successful.

The experience of other sports is that whilst there is a fair bit of overlap, it is quite often a different audience. It’s one of the reasons why the RFL policy of curtain raisers for many big women’s games is counter productive.

You're a bit out of date these days on that. Roosters used to be the running joke for crowds, I've sat in the SFS with 6,000 myself before, but this season they averaged 23k and have been building steadily up to that for a while

[Hull Kingston Bronco]

On the subject of attendances, we’re often told that one of the benefits of relegation is it creates excitement from uncertainty, which is good for attendances and viewing figures. Well how about this:

- Hull KR will get 9,000+ on Saturday against Salford, as they both aim for the playoffs

- The crowd for the 2016 Million Pound Game was under 7,000

That’s 28% better this season. Fans want a quality product, with teams aiming for either trophies or progression for the future. Relegation “excitement” brings little value commercially. The numbers don’t lie.
