why does it upset you so much?

it will be a lot more than 14,000.

looks like youve put a lot of effort into that

shame i feel asleep after 1 sentence.

sorry

No, don't apologise. Now, i'm no doctor but that sounds like a serious case of narcolepsy. This is a real breakthrough in explaining why your posts are littered with disjointed crap. It looks as though it's probably taking you two, maybe three hours to complete a post - hence the incoherent babble that you post. It's come as a shock to you no doubt - but at least the rest of the posters on here will show a little more understanding towards your affliction and the quality of your posts.

My aplogies in advance for wasting five hours of your time in you reading this.

Bradford v Harlequins - 7,153.

Must be Bradford's lowest league crowd for many years.

and after tonights game they need 20370.

reckon they could be looking good for around 15.5k though, with some big games to come

hey mate you always respond to them

wigan and warrington still on top of the SL table, something i foreshadowed at the start of the season

and people said i was wrong there too

NRL crowds, after 2 completed rounds :

average this season 17,899

best club - broncos 48,516
worst penrith 11,133

Yes we know .......you keep telling us .......the NRL is the best RL comp in the world ........the supporters in Sydney are the most loyal in the world..........RL is the number one sport in Australia.......blah blah blah.

If it wasn't for the 37,000+ average crowd at AFL games I meet even believe you.

Even leaving aside your exaggerarted claims for the NRL, and accepting that it is miles ahead of SuperLeague; you can't compare the two.

The NRL is the number one sport in NSW and Queensland, and I believe that in Brisbane the fans actually attend the games in great numbers, unlike the couch potatoes in Sydney.

However in England, RL is a minority sport, it is overshadowed by soccer in all areas. Hull City get more fans than Hull FC and HKR combined; Wigan Athletic get higher attendances than the Warriors, even Leeds United, despite being in League One, get more than the Rhinos.

Given the lack of newspaper coverage, the lack of a BBC/ITV tv contract, and the huge presence of soccer, especially the Premier League, then SuperLeague's crowd figures are quite strong.

Disgraceful crowd.

They don't have as many home fans! Wigan is a rugby town.

A myth, there are more football supporters in Wigan than there are RL supporters. It's a shame that most of them are MUFC/LFC/EFC fans.

Prove it.

Just using home fans, Wigan get more fans than Latics. 75% of Latics crowds have 5,400 away fans. And against the Manc and scouse clubs its more like 6 or 7,000 cos away fans go in the home ends.

2010 Wigan Warriors average home SL attendance .......14208

2009/10 Wigan Athletic average home EPL attendance ........17840

As I said, Wigan Athletic get higher attendances than the Warriors. I made no reference to home or away fans.

For the man united and liverpool games there is a lot more than that in the home ends. I get plenty of free tickets to go and watch latics and the south stand is normally a third full.

Latics don't really have that many 'fans' in reality. I could name so many people who -

Get free tickets game by game
Get a free season ticket from their job and don't go but get counted on the attendance
Buy a season ticket just to watch some premiership football, they don't support the team
Go just cause their mates go
Have jumped on the bandwagon over the last few years
Switched from another club, would you want 'fans' like this supporting your club

Them taking 78 fans to spurs says it all to me really. They have the worst away support in the premierleague.

We were bottom of the league and our attendances went up, we are loyal fans, they are the opposite.

They are many football fans in the town who are loyal fans to other surrounding clubs but I don't think that makes it a rugby town.

I work in starbucks in the town centre so I chat with a alot of people, I also hear alot of people talking throughout the day, I only ever hear about rugby. The last time I heard about football was the other week and it was to do with the pitch.

In conlusion and slightly off-topic from my own post, it's great to see some fantastic crowds this year, strong teams from warrington and wigan will do super league good not only for the product but for the amount of people they get through the gates.

Some clubs need to sort themselves out, expecially Bradford IMO and also quins. Salford will probably be out next time around anyway. I just think stadia is the key, look what it has done for all the teams with new stadiums. Cas and wakey would really kick on like warrington with a new stadium.

Rd8:

Wigan v Leeds 17,883


Wolves v Wakey 10,723
Cas v Crusaders 5,299


Bulls v Quins 7,153
Les Cats v HKR 6,513
Salford v Hull 3,535


Hudds v St's 9,648



Total = 60,754
Avg: 8,679

The worst thing about the Salford attendance is there was a big following from Hull that was easily picked up by the Sky Cameras

40% of the crowd was probably Hull fans.

Not looking good for Monday then.

Rd. 9
Crusaders v Quins P
Giants v Catalans 5,926
HKR v HFC 10,089
St's v Wigan 17,500
Wakey v Cas 8,337
Wolves v Salford 11,467
Leeds v Bulls 17,244

Total= 70,563 (6 games)
Avg= 11,760

Best average so far surely?

yes, previous best was Rd1 with 11,155.

14,100+ at fc v warrington today

boosted by the postponed game though
