Massive improvement.

Just wish Sky would stop taking our home games. It's bordering on annoying now. Especially since we can pull 10k-11k v Leeds.

We can put a positive spin on our attendances by comparing them with last season's corresponding fixtures but looking at them in isolation and in the context of results they are poor. I'm sure that 2 years ago we pulled more for Salford on a Saturday evening and without the benefit of a great run of form so the current upward trend is not so impressive anyway.

That said I'm not convinced by the accuracy of the publicised figures. I don't claim to know that Sunday's 6.8k was incorrect put I'm pretty damn sure the increase on the Crusaders gate (6.1k) was a lot more than 700.

Over at BV I remember seeing TV games in recent seasons when the announced crowd was a lot less than it looked but a few weeks ago they insulted everybody's intelligence by claiming over 5k were at the Wire game when there can't have been more than 3.5k there.

I suspect tax, budget and license considerations are playing havoc with the figures at a number of clubs and we're not likely to get the true picture in the current climate.

Well done ngb4c, another one in the net
