Quote: gerr'emonside "Surely there's some discrepancies in how attendances are being calculated in the league then as if you have say 8k ST holders, I thought these always got calculated in the attendance regardless of whether they attended.
I know Wigan certainly do this, which is why the widnes game tonight had only around 8k on IMO, yet 11,900 was given as the attendance?
I would have expected 8k+ as a minimum at saints declaring all their ST holders?'"
I don't know how Wigan do it but at Saints it's done by gate passes if I'm not mistaken, so it's the actual attendance on the night.
I must admit I was slightly dubious of the 11k attendance announced by Wigan tonight.
