St Helens have the highest average attendance so far in 2022 with over 13k. Taking over from Leeds as super leagues best supported club.

Not surprisingly, Wakefield and Salford occupy the bottom 2 spots with sub 5k attendences. However, that doesnt tell the big picture which is Salford increasing their average by close to 1500 from 2019 which is rather good news. With an improved stadium Wakefield should also see crowds increase and may end up on a par with Super league newcomers Toulouse.

Bad news is that Wigan, Warrington and Catalan fans are deserting their teams in droves.

Maybe if Wigan got to play a home game that wasn't on a Thursday night in the rain, more fans would go.

That is a good point actually. I would think with Wigan now playing some attractive rugby they may get some fans back as the season progresses

Warrington haven't yet played any of the so called 'big' teams or any of their local rivals. Add to that, the rugby being served up is pretty bad and every home game so far has been televised.

Cas have had 2 10,000 games with over 7k at the Toulouse game. Averaging over 9000 a game so far which I believe would be a big improvement on recent seasons.

Wakey have benefited from Hull FC taking 2k to that game, and Cas with 2.5k to 3k going to that game, whereas, as always, the Hull clubs have to put up with minimal travelling support

Table
1 St Helens (13,195)
2 Leeds (12,606)
3 Hull FC (11,145)
4 Wigan (10,622)
5 Castleford (9,213)
6 Warrington (8,642)
7 Hull KR (8,372)
8 Catalans 7,295
9 Toulouse (5,289)
10 Huddersfield (5,247)
11 Wakefield (4,977)
12 Salford (4,569)

Impressive figures for Leeds and Cas considering both having a poor start to the season. Salford and Wakey should be doing much better with their city status. Is it a lack of marketing ?

Wigan have a home banker on Easter Monday afternoon. Will there be a bumper home crowd?

We haven't even played Cas yet?

He meant Cas have benefitted from Hull taking fans there.

He's saying that Wakey and Cas have benefited from good FC away followings.

What's with the drop off in Catalan fans ? Slower easing of restrictions impacting crowds ?

Ah, get it now.
Hull FC (and KR) do travel in great numbers.

Any excuse for a good booze up

Apparently Hull KR are the first team in 10 years to sell out two consecutive home league games. (Why can’t the almighty St Helens do that?)

Fair play to Hull KR but that is a worrying statistic

Yet still getting better attendances than wakey …..

Crowds at Catalans are always lower at the start of the season, improving significantly when the weather gets better and RU + football season finishes.

Is it any wonder when we play, as you yourself have put it, in a ground falling to bits and don’t give away season tickets almost for free like Ken does?

Aint Cas ground falling to bits and charge over £200 for season tickets.....

Well if we had the same level of performance in the league as yourselves had under Powell I’m sure our attendance would be higher. Not to mention a Cc final appearance.

Aren't most of Cas's ticket sales sponsored by the Social Security anyway.

Also a G.F. & winning the league in 2017, when were Wakey last in a major final? Ah yes, forty three years ago!

I call it my Annus Horribilis, on the Thursday Thatcher got into power, followed by C.C. misery on the Saturday, and people wonder why Wakefield's attendances are poor.

Looks like it's the away fans bringing your average gate up !

we've had 4 league home games. played salford and catalan, cas brought hardly any - was a very disappointing attendance from them and KR. so nice try but no.
