I know mate, it's getting redone tonight, I was only informed last night.

They are accurate for League games Frank.

Featherstone 1940
Smogs 3198
Barrow 2583
Batley 2285

Total 10006

Average 2501.5

You obviously weren't good at maths were you frank , what was your job again ?

In fact, looking at our figures 1940 was an appauling crowd for the Fev game, if we played them now we'd be hoping for 2800 or more wouldn't we?

It was a thursday TV game , which is why the current recompense for TV games is a joke

Have to admit I should have used my calculator.

well there is no recompense really is there as all the RFL money has to go on jollies

It was aldo before people started realising how good the team is too I suppose. Along with no away fans and it was cold.

Still pretty average though.

What would you do abouy the recompense for TV games Starbug?

You still actually get the 4 grand in cash though Fred , you only lose it if people who would come anyway get their hands on the free tickets , and considering we got a 1940 attendance figure , I'm fairly sure we didn't let more than a hundred or so in on those tickets

gets 1 home game guaranteed and they recieve their average attendance income for that game in cash , all tickets to that game are then free and a sizeable marketing spend in the towns of both participating clubs in the run up to the game

Average for three friendlies = 2278
Average for three NRC games = 1960
Average for four Championships = 2502
Average for two Challenge cup = 1660

Average for 12 home games = 2170

Blimey, only May and we've had to do 12 programmes already!

happy with the 4 home games in the championship, i dont think the average will go up tbh. we have played our big games now!!

Maybe a win in the northern rail could pull back a few fans back! Hopefully the summer promotion will help aswell

I will try again

do hospitality boxes count in the attendance figures?

Are the people in the boxes ' attending ' the game ?

So what really needs to happen is Rugby League to get a bumper TV deal and actually let some of the Super League millions filter down the divisions and give us a lifeline, give us the opportunity to market the product we have.

Are they "clicked" through a turnstile?

Do they have a ticket ?

No the SL millions belong to the SL clubs

What is needed is for the RFL/Championship clubs to agree a deal for payment for coverage of the Championship games , be that a lump sum which is then divided up , or an individual match payment per home club

Very pleasant surprise that we're over 2,500 average - got to make sure we keep it up and that's a 'tick' without even trying to cheat the system like 'Fax!

It's only a ' tick ' when we can get another 1,000 down IMO Matt

Not as far as the RFL are concerned, though I agree that we'd only truly be 'ready' if we're hitting 3,000+ regularly.

3,500 at least Matt , that is THE reason Widnes are in SL next year , to be credible and strong enough , we need to match that

If I knew the answers, I wouldn't be asking the questions!

Do you ever use "Yes" & "No" or are you trying to prove something?

they do count in the attendance figure

Bloody spoilsport

Thanks Fred
