Manipulated stats.....OK.....I can do them
Wakey.
2008 season, 90,493 fans/13 = 6,961 average
2009 season, 64,262 fans/11 = 5,842
Adjusted 2009 season figures less Salford (6,578)
57,684 fans/10 = 5,768....a full 20% down.

Look, this isn't a witch hunt, I was just pointing out that Wakey have lost 20% of their gate revenue this season......I didn't expect the spanish inquisition

Nope, it is with the same amount of games so it is probably up overall.

No more silly double/trebble headers....27 games per team with 1 odd game for MM. 13 home games to get your average against 13 different teams.), so the same figure to comapare against last year.
2% is actually a good result, given that for example Wigan had Wakey (avg 12,626)and Leeds (avg 14,850) twice last year only to have 1 game replaced by salford (11,550) and Celtic (12,371) this.
All in all, League in general has weathered this seasons recession quite well in both the Sooperdooperleague and the chumpionship...unless we are talking about wakefield that is
In fact....without celtic, we would be on 3,653..........up 4%....Kick the welsh out...what do they bring to the game.........

Don’t worry about Trinity, HKR are the visitors in the last home game of the season so that should see the average increase to over 10K easily.

I make the average attendance for SL fixtures this year where there was a corresponding fixture last year (basically excluding fixtures involving Salford and Celtic) is 9,850. The average attendance for SL fixtures last year where the corresponding fixture has been played this year is 9,816. So pretty much no change in comparable fixtures.

Total AVERAGE (less Celts and Salford) attendance this year to date is 116156 as against 118,282 in 2008........so as near as damn it, -2%.
Still got a few games to play but all in all, the fans are still coming through the gates..

SBR has used the like-for-like fixtures, though - not the total attendances so far.

Some big games may not have been played yet, and conversely some small games may not have been played - I think SBR's figures are the best in this case.

May well be. Bulls, Castleford, Wakey and the quins have yet to have a visit from the neewbies and there are some big games to come. Problem is, Quins v Salford, Wakey v Welsh, Casltleford Celtic and Bradford v Salford aren't exactly top of ticketmasters demand list are they. Leeds Saints is the only game that stands out (especially as wire wigan will be a dead game for one set of fans after this weekend).
Sorry, -2% is where I see overall attendence figures sitting for this season and that's not bad.
Next year (Genesis2) is the real test. Every club has to add fans..........
