Can you please stop interfering with my Con wind ups as we head towards the Ashes

Should be impressed that they can carry the ball and chain that high up into the stands.

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

4,887 is extraordinary, well done Fax and Bratford.

Great crowd at Halifax.

Must admit it felt slightly more. I'd guess 1800-2000 from Bradford and they made a terrific noise. An excellent atmosphere and the Shay is a decent ground with that sort of crowd in and three stands open.

Are Bradford still a very well supported team then despite them being stuck in the Championship for a while now? I don't really know because I don't follow Championship closely.

Are you giving the Dragons a pass for a crowd of 8,510?

Just looking at Friday tea time games last season and comparing them with each teams season average

Cronulla. 12,928. Season Av 14560

Bulldogs 7169                         20848

Storm 16605.                          22155

Dragons 13111.                        15036

Manly 10215.                           17333

Penrith 21825.                         18873

Cowboys 15957.                      19281

Canberra 9617.                        16562

Titans 13287.                           18064

Wests 17311.                             15277

 

The averages are for all ‘home games’ so include any games played ‘home from home’ such as country games, games at Perth etc and Wests and Dragons games spread across different home venues. I have not included Warriors because the friday 6pm game is prime time (8pm) in Auckland.

All apart from Penrith are well down on season averages apart from the Wests game which was the last game of the season that decided the wooden spoon (wests v eels).

Nice research. What’s your conclusion? Are you giving the Dragons a pass for a crowd of 8,510?

As I said previously I dont think any team can be blamed for Friday tea time crowds. Clearly all clubs suffer substantial hits when told to play at that time.

I think they'd be up there for highest average attendances in the League still, about 3k+ now? Other than the likes of Leigh, KR and Wakey who have been relegated, remained FT and bounced back in recent years (oh and Toronto) they'd probably be up there amongst the best supported of the more semi pro outfits.

Their average in SL when they weren't in meltdown was between 10k to 15k, with high individuals attendances of 20k plus being for the matches against Leeds. I suppose that is where a lot of the nostalgia comes from because on paper at least we had another game as big as the Wigan vs Saints or Hull derby.

Some stats for you to look at as I know you like those!

Ooh stats! They really do make me honk! 

They are respectable attendances certainly. If they were to get back into SL you could see those doubling immediately. They could easily be getting a 6,000 average so more than Huddersfield or Salford.

It certainly is a shame what happened to Bradford and I would like to see them back at the top end of the game. Just need to clean up Odsal a bit...

They’re all slightly lower than I’d have expected for Good Friday games, except possibly Barrow who drew the short straw when it came to a bank holiday derby. Keighley look to be in serious trouble on the pitch.
