Born with it. Leads to a desire for accuracy.

2,878 is the average gate for Huddrsfield in London since 2000. (this figure is for 12 games and does not include the 2006 fixture)
2,780 is the average gate for games between 200 and 2005 (icon_cool.gif
3,075 is the average 2007-2010 (4)
If we are kind and report the crowd that day as 3,000 then the average for that season was 4,252 (14 games).....

This is hardly worth arguing about and there's no way to measure it. Some of the RU fans stayed for some of the time, some for none of it and some for all of it.
On the whole, I've seen a figure of 3500 used.

The above figures are based on reported gates over the years and therefore factual. '"
Yeah.
Not that I'm arguing with them.

Also, just so you know, The Kings bar holds 5,500 when opened fully (From Jesters to the far end) and the bar in the other stand holds 2,100.......so if the bars looked half full (which they did) then 3,500 supping ale would be about right

Another immeasurable. {Rhetorical questions follow ... How far apart were the people? And why were you in there during the RL match? What's your source for the bar capacities? You have the Kings bar holding about 30% more than the stand above it. I suppose that's possible but none of them would be able to bend their elbows.

I get it BroncOnion.....you and others are tired of my interminable rants and if I am honest, so am I. But you dragged me back into this one and regardless of whether 1,250,000 or 3,000 people watched that game......an average gate of 3,600 since 1996 is what London RL has managed to attract....and that is why we are in financial stew AGAIN.'"
We AGREE
Perhaps we'd better park it there?
