I think we are looking at sell outs for Wire & Wigan, 14k for Leeds/Widnes, 13k for the Hulls possibly Hudds, 12k for the rest which should iron out to around 14k, but Im hoping we can average around 14,500-15k, that would be a great achievment!

Link please stating we sold 16,000?

Also Link please stating how on gods green earth 15,000 is well above the actual figure of 15,300?

If you can't do simple maths, ie x number is bigger than y, then everything else needs to be called into question!

my bit of advice for starting topics on RLFANS.
1.) dont talk about attendances.... Wigan are second only to NASCAR in Attendance numbers. (I was going to say bumbs on seats but thats a different story)
2.) dont talk about flags. Only the Chinese Army and an Olympic games opening ceremony have more flags than the frigantes.
3.) dont talk about fullbacks unless you want to start explaining why Billy Slater is better than Sam Tomkins.
4.) dont talk about owning your own stadium. It's been Made Quite clear by the cherry boys that renting is always better than owning.
4.) and dont talk about history it doesnt exist for any club other than Shaun Wanes boys from the Wigan Way.

stick by them and you'll be able to talk without half wit intrusion no problem.

Yes I am going to keep copies of every media link I read of ticket sales and I read several, just in case you ask me to givelinks! I know what I read and when I visited friends in Windle last Tuesday and as I stated, which you did not by the way comment on, two weeks earlier trying to get one standing ticket they were informed they were sold out and I informed him then it was heading for a sell out.

The 15,000 comment should have read 15,000 plus, so hands held up, apologies! but it does not excuse how picky some are getting and the raising of stupid comments about simple maths, this is a forum, I was not submitting a University dissertation on attendance figures! People who get so touchy about a comment are the ones who look the joke! But if it makes you happy?? LOL!

Note I added it was a superb attendance figure though time will tell as others have said what attendances settle down to.

I think this bit may be before Saints were allocated the East Stand. The West Stand was in fact sold out a couple of weeks ago and at the time was the only standing available to Saints supporters, this is probably why your friend couldn't get a ticket. Saints fans were than allocated the East stand at a later date as it was apparent Salford would only bring around 200 fans.

I think EVERY game this weekend will have been afected by the weather, my 86 yr old auntie and her neighbours (season ticket holders) wisely decided to stay at home, many others will have done the same

Are you operating to zero tolerance Saints Fan, we were only 463 short of 16000 tickets, some supporters with tickets didn,t turn up, so we might have actually sold more tickets than the actual digital count through the turnstiles, as 15,537 was the attendance and not the no. Of tickets sold.

Was expecting around 16.5 k myself, but if we can average 15k for the season that would be fantastic.

Most likely the case, but when you are 75 and don't have internet connection how do you know about late allocations? if I had known I would have rang and told him.

I believe only 2 or 3 of the stands were open for this game. As it wasn't quite finished, As we wanted the Saints game to be our final at CP.

Good attendance by your lot, would have been nice to have been a sell out, though.

Very true, it's just an unfortunate situation I suppose.

well done on tv too

I read about that. 80% up on Widnes v Wakefield on opening night and up on the Grand Final as well?

Wowsers.

TBH, I had expected our first game at LP to be a sell out, however to put it in persective, 2 years ago at KR and certainly last year at Widnes, we would have been one of, if not the lowest attendance of those above, so to jump from that to the top isn't to be sneezed at. I hope we can average between 14-15K this year, but expect our average to settle down to something more like 12k in a couple of years time, which will still be a significant increase on KR averages.

We'll struggle to hit 15k average now with the reduced capacity. But 14k is still doable, Catalan will be telling as the drop off will be as severe as it can be when they come to town.

Other clubs with new grounds have increased attendance figures in the second and third seasons.

Surely that isn't a permanent thing?

It only has to last up to say the Leeds or Wigan game to have an impact. If we sell 17,200, then it's had an impact, as we could have sold 17,201.

According to the RLFANS.STATS page, the attendance against Salford in 2010 (last year at KR) was 7728, so we doubled that - but probably because it was the first League game.

The real test will be the Catalans game - in 2010, we got 8442 at KR, and that was played in July of that year. This year, with 10,000 season tickets sold, them not bringing a lot, being cold, not being on TV, and with a few walk ups, I would hope we get at least 12,000, which would be a very good increase in my opinion.

For the 2010 season, our average was 11,191 (for just SL games - not play off games). We had 2 x 17500 sellouts in successive games, and big crowds against Hull (in the fog, Sean Long's return) and Cas (last league game at KR).

For this season, I would expect sellouts against Wigan and Warrington, close to sellouts against Leeds (sunday game should mean they bring a few) and Widnes, and decent crowds against the 2 Hull teams who generally bring a good number of supporters. If we could average 14,000, I think that would be a brilliant achievement - almost a 25% increase from KR.

I thought we had lost the STATS page, do you have a link?

I'm just a misunderstood Wigan fan who is here on his missionary duties.

Funnily enough the Salford attendance was not too different at KR than it was at Widnes, there was a difference but not as stark as say the difference between Wigan at KR and Widnes.

Shhhhh...

Wigan v Cas first match in pie dome Attendance 13900 Warm September day ... remind me of the result...

Saints V Salford last Friday ..... obvious comaparisons

Which opening day would you have rather had?
