The sport should definitely take it in the numbers, standard Union practice on the double headers that’s how Saracens average more than their ground capacity

The Play offs and Grand Final should be included when calculating overall average SL crowd for the season

NZ Warriors pick up where they left off with a 23,344 crowd for a pre-season trial against Melbourne at Hamilton. Another unbelievable crowd.

Certainly now it’s a simple and fast format

Play-offs maybe as home advantage , but not the GF . If including GF you would then have to include Magic Weekend as well .

Magic, divided by 3 on the day you played is fine.

Why?

If a person attends all 3 games...they have attended 3 games and should be counted 3 times.

Disagree , as @dboy says you can't really divide by 3 . However , it shouldn't be counted , in the same way as GF , as it's not an official home game . The regular season is the way it is calculated for a reason . This way every team is judged on the same number of games in the same competition each season .

The question would be if a team takes a home game on the road . I would say that this should then be counted as it is still an official home game .

Did they buy 3 tickets?  It's not perfect, but it's far more honest than claiming 40k turned up to watch Salford vs Huddersfield.

Which is why Magic attendances aren't counted in club season averages...

There is being honest to your own detriment and there is playing with stats to your advantage.

Other sports use stats to improve their image to potential sponsors, we seem to want to insist we use them to put off sponsors.

I agree.

All attendances should be rounded up to the nearest (highest), big number - there will be 7 or 8k at Trinity tomorrow - that should be reported as 10k.

We should count everyone who attends Magic as attending ALL games. Twice.

Didn't a previous rugby yawnion world cup claim to have a worldwide TV audience greater than the population of Earth??

Right, so these big shot potential sponsors would not do the slightest bit of due diligence you think?  How dodgy do we look then, when they realise that the 40k we claim turned up to watch Salford v Huddersfield was in fact more like 4k?

Now you're being ridiculous - no-one is going to believe that 4000 people will turn up to a Salford v Hudds game!

That isn't how it works.

Why do you think other sports use compounded figures, could it be that sponsors don't do due diligence just for them but do for others.

Hopefully they can keep it up, it would be good to see FC and KR’s combined average being higher than Hull City’s.

After a quick google search, 21k is their average.  Setting the bar a bit low there aren't you?

Must admit I thought it was more like 22-23k, so yes I am.

Tbf a few years ago the combined HKR/HFC crowd would be nowhere near Hull City*, so that’s huge progress in reality.

*Discounting their ‘protest’ years

Despite all the gloom and the justified frustrations over internationals, it feels like something is happening in SL. 

Great presentation generally being rewarded with good crowds. 

I'd love it if these translated into big event crowdsnin the Cup and at Magic.

Not sure the capacity is 10k now with the new seats in PS Stand . Would be good to fill the place though . Should be a cracking atmosphere .
