record super league attendance? : Fri Aug 06, 2010 7:19 pm  

1122 at Crusaders game tonight has to be lowest ever - so can anyone tell me how they deserve to be in super league. This was agame where a win would see them go into a play off position and they could not attract a half decent crowd- quite a few NL sides get better crowds.

very poor attendance complete joke kick Quins & Celtic out and keep you & Wakey.

A total disgrace that attendances aren't taken into consideration. I remember the big song and dance when they had like 6K for the visit of Leeds on the opening day.

They blatantly add more to SL then us and Wakey with their crowds and their local players.

according to the commentators there were no more than 500 there.

Crusaders have averaged 5,209 fans at the Racecourse this season, a 1,541 improvement on last year's figure of 3,668. And that figure is expected to soar as Crusaders chase a maiden play-off spot when last year's Super League Grand Final runners up St Helens and Hull KR visit the Racecourse Ground.
And Crusaders RL would like to thank the Welsh public for their continued support throughout the 2010.

I do not know any NL sides that average 5k. If you are surprised that there was a poor attendance for a game played hundreds of miles from either club's support base, at a time when the majority of people who may have wanted to go would have just finished work, with no local advertising and in a stadium that makes Knowsley Road look like Wembley, then you're even more of a dope than you first appear.

So we're not including the 1100 tonight and the 1500 against us a few week ago?


You should just have an overall home attendance not just for the racecourse as you'll probably be based somewhere else next year.

It is good that attendances have increased but how many are actually paying to get in??? its all very well to give tickets away to promote interest however at some point the club needs to start making money and people need to start digging into their own pockets to watch a game.
Also headhunter why didn't the club advertise the game why kick off at 6 i think you are the one looking a little bit silly here - your club didn't promote the game not casfan4 life
