Congrats to the Seagulls on their win but the crowd of EXACTLY 1,000 looks a bit dubious to me.

No doubt Griff will bring us up to date.

Another crowd thread? It was announced as 1028 at the game

1028 in both RL papers this morning - even the one with last week's table in it.



I make it 42.382271468% higher than the crowd at the Fax game. But - who's counting ?

There's nowt dubious about the results that's for sure.

Eagles to win the lot?

No way. The Challenge Cup could be a step too far.



A game at a time and see how it goes. A couple of injuries can easily upset the apple cart.

We cant beat them on the pitch at the moment so take the out of their crowds?

The only people who will see it though are the ones who go to the games so not much of a point having a pop at them. Not like we are breaking any records is it?

Crowds are shocking at Championship level as well as half of $uperleague. I haven't got an answer to it. But I can tell you what doesn't work because we've probably tried it over the last 29 years.

Winning the challenge cup.....

Merger.... ( well it worked for one of those clubs )

My point exactly.





Eagles struggle to reach gates of 1000, Uncle Ken has a £20000 a week standing order to Shuddersfield. Which do you consider to be the success ?

No but I am sick of clubs manipulating their crowd figures by counting tickets issued for matches, come on when Fax go we see how poor their crowds are with your own eyes and we take a good number down there most times, yet a week or two later they get around the same gate when playing a team with very few away fans, really???

You really need to get over it Jon!

Nothing to do with one game being on a Friday night and another being on a Sunday afternoon of course...

What sort of a "good number" did you take to Hunslet ?

And when we speak of manipulation, dare I mention ...... Batley ?

There were family tickets on groupon for the Eagles V Whitehaven game, and I saw quite a few using them.

I don't know why clubs publish attendances anyway. Rarely good news. And at the end of the day it's nobody's business but the club's management.

I don't see Tesco's saying they had 5608 through the door yesterday.

Hunslet announced a crowd of 722. I went and the crowd was at least 70% Fax. That would be around 500 Fax Fans that made the trip.

491 attended when the champions (Sheffield) flew into town afew weeks prior. How many Sheffield Fans attended that game you think?

Basically Fax's away support is the same as both Hunslets home support and Sheffields away support joined!

but whos counting eh?

Ask Fev about our away support. They couldnt fit us in!

Well - nobody. Which enables you to make up your own figures.



70%.

so how you know so many went to tesco yesterday and which branch.

You take 500 fans to away games, but still need a raffle to attract a home crowd? Every club in this League would like more fans, Im just surprised at how much attention Sheffield's crowds get over supposedly more established clubs. You wont meet a single Eagles fan who doesnt think we need more supporters but at least the club are trying to build a future support and structure that doesnt mean begging buckets will come out at some point.

I don't. I said I didn't see Tesco's saying it.

Just read the post and don't make it up.

Is this a fact? i would like to know where you get that from, at the game sunday looking around IMO i thought there was a few more than the announced attendance maybe because it was on a sunday maybe the groupons maybe both. I agree with brummie eagle that all eagles fans would like to see more bums on seats as would all clubs in this league including yourselves

Well at least they are having a bash, I have said for a long time it would make more sense to have the option of choosing a free childs season ticket when buying an adult one instead of the free diners meal they give out. It`s all right having a few extra diners a week for the Club and if you want to choose that fair enough but myself I`d prefer more spaces on the terraces being filled . Our crowds are not increasing in fact they look to be geting worse ,although as I am not a stats person I could be wrong there.
It`s a good job the Directors have thought up the New York gimmick to try to keep the interest going as nearly a couple of months off having a home game where people may have settled into a new routine could hit our club hard. Then no sooner are we back then we are hiting the holiday season , so something needed doing .
