Surprised there isn't an ongoing thread to discuss crowds given our preoccupation with them! So here we are:

July 3-5th

Les Cats 9,007
Celtic 3,231
Hull 11,780
Salford 4,808
Wigan 14,977
Bradford TBC
Hudds TBC

Great turn out for Wigan, Hull did ok given there form and fans unhappiness and Les Cats was decent enough.

It was a good turn out from Wigan, great idea to work with Heinz to get more people into a game that would generally be expected to be a lower turn out.

Good to get them in and see a Wigan team playing better than it has for a long, long time. I would hope some of those people get the bug and go back again - especially after the first 20 minutes performance.

There was well more than 4800 at Salford

ru suggesting Salford are committing income tax fraud?

We need the money to pay for the new stadium.



To be fair, I thought 4808 was a bit of an underestimate too.

saints must have bought getting on for 2k so that leaves 2808 salford fans,i know there aint many of us but there was dam more than that there

There was over 7,000 on for the Wigan game. What happened?

*At Stade Gilbert Brutus only the average is 8,298

8,900 odd at bradford v castleford, bit suprised at the low turn out there

Bradfords crowds have been dropping for quite some time and their away support is some of the worst in the league.

They once filled our North stand and now the struggle to bring 500.

Widnes Vs Doncaster 3,453

Thats almost as many as salford. Surely with 2000 from saints it would be higher than Salfords.

Warrington have 4 home games remaining this year.

St Helens - Should definitely be a sell out of just over the 13,000 capacity, it's matches like this you wish the stadium was a bit bigger.

Salford City Reds - With us moving up the table now more casual fans will turn up than normal, hopefully Salford will bring a decent amount of fans for the short trip as well.

Wakefield - Got over 9,300 in 2008 and over 10,300 fans in 2007 so is capable of a decent attendance. Again just needs more casual fans and with Wakey up there in the table at the moment they should bring fans down.

Harlequins RL - Last regular game of the season so even with hardly any away fans there should be a decent home crowd.

Saints - 13k
Salford - 10k
Wakey - 9k
Quins - 8k

Average - 9,210ish I reckon you'll finish with. Has the new stadium novelty worn off? Or was the fans usual hope-of-success-bubble burst a lot earlier than usual this year?

i suppose if we merged with another club we'd get more fans. Can't see it though, i mean who would merge clubs

Obviously Gateshead adds thousands to our attendance

Hull FC have had 41 successive five figure attendances for Super League/Play Off games stretching back to 2006.

Hopefully we can keep that up with Celtic next up at the KC.

Seriously, what sort of a reply was that?

Hang your head in shame.

The funny thing is, you actually believe what you've put as being the reason why are crowds are good, and that is pretty sad!

Don't bite, they can only dream about our attendances.

Thats impressive and something the RFL should aim for as a weekly average. Every week the average of the games should be over 10,000.
