Let's get it up by over a 1000 for next season.

So when the RFL state that "more people than ever before" are watching RL, do they just mean the 4 specific clubs whose attendances are actually up?

The major losses are Wakey and Bulls. Could this be down to the cheap season tickets offers not been carried on from the previous year ?

Id love to see the average away attendances aswell. As a percentage of fans we get at home we must be near the top in that aspect.

I would love to see this also but I think it is hard to calculate. How do you account for the speccies who pay in cash on game day ? How do you know where they are from and who they are supporting ?

Speaking to the Wakey fan at work, they gave a lot of free tickets away last year so this could be the reason for such a dramatic drop

All but 4 stadiums (us,wakey,leeds,bradford) have dedicated away ends so in this instance would be easy enough to give a figure for away fans. But I agree the 4 mentioned it would be impossible to get a figure unless they had dedicated turnstiles which would be a nightmare.

Makes you wonder how accurate the figures are. Salford are listed at 4,738 but today Marwan says he can't manage on their gates of 3,000

Is this the first year in SL that our attendance has been larger than Bradford's?

Maybe he means 3000 Salford fans with the other 1738 (or so) away fans?

Get ready for the inevitable name change to Manchester Red Devils for next season.

regarding away support, i have the figures for huddersfield and you were one of only 4 clubs to bring over 1000

1,713 to be exact!

2013 you brought 774

2012 178
going by that, well over 3,000 next year folks

Really enjoyed the visit to Hudds this season (exept the result) - had a good day out and must mention the Gas Club who really looked after us that day. We should be returning in numbers next season.

all fans are welcome in the gas club! we had a good laugh with some cas fans, although some were a bit worse for drink and decided to act like numpties, only 2/3 though the rest were good fun
