That’s always been the case for “birthplace” of rugby league

Maybe ?
Huddersfield V HKR 5724
Huddersfield V Salford 5702
Huddersfield V Castleford 5717

Huddersfield V Catalans 3845

You might have something there…… if in doing so you weren’t somehow suggesting that salford bring over 1000 supporters to games.

the other three were weekend day fixtures, Catalan was a Friday evening.

You want to check with your people Jools and I'll think you'll find that Salford do infact bring around that number, you of course are not suggesting that Huddersfield brought an extra 2000 to watch Salford than wanted to see Catalan ?

Salford were at Wakey a couple of games ago and fetched far more than shudds ever bring if that helps

That would suggest that you filled a quarter of the stand you occupied. Not even close.
Our fan demographic is very different to yours. Mostly over 65s and kids. Few in the 20-30bracket. Not people who tend to do Friday evening games. Saturday afternoons however are generally well attended.
The main driver however was the Deliveroo festivals have been running on the Saturday afternoon games, whilst there were also bring a buddy tickets given out for those games so yeah, extra folk did come down and make a day of it.

Weren't they selling tickets for £1 for the Warrington game?

Hull KR ground only holds 10k remember. Much easier to "Sell Out" over bigger grounds. Cas have had 2 10k games in a row also this year so wouldn't read too much into that stat.

The primary KPI for Super League this year is 10 sell out crowds. Cas Tigers on course for giving them 3 by the end of the Easter period.

Not sure Hull and Leeds will be classed as sell outs though. Salford yes as we were capped to 10,500. Against Hull we hit over 10,000 but pretty sure we were back to 11,000+ capacity.

Same will be for Leeds. Probably over 10,000 again but not an official sell out.

Rovers are doing well and the beer tents and food vans are a great idea, but you do have to remember they've shut a stand which takes 2k off the capacity. Not hard to sell out when you've made your ground smaller.

Quote ="Hopie"Crowds are "booming". https://www.theguardian.com/sport/no-he ... warrington'" Interesting article in the Guardian. What would have been better, would have been a comparison to 3/4 years ago. However, it's great to see some positive exposure for the game

Crowds are booming due to saints, cas and Hull kr leading the way.

It's a great idea but not their own, taken straight out of the Toronto handbook !

yes, my uncle got 2 for £2


don't forget though, when Rovers do it....its ground breaking initiative, FC do cheap tickets......we're desperate!!
