Are you operating to zero tolerance Saints Fan, we were only 463 short of 16000 tickets, some supporters with tickets didn,t turn up, so we might have actually sold more tickets than the actual digital count through the turnstiles, as 15,537 was the attendance and not the no. Of tickets sold.

Was expecting around 16.5 k myself, but if we can average 15k for the season that would be fantastic.

Most likely the case, but when you are 75 and don't have internet connection how do you know about late allocations? if I had known I would have rang and told him.

Very true, it's just an unfortunate situation I suppose.

well done on tv too

I read about that. 80% up on Widnes v Wakefield on opening night and up on the Grand Final as well?

Wowsers.

We'll struggle to hit 15k average now with the reduced capacity. But 14k is still doable, Catalan will be telling as the drop off will be as severe as it can be when they come to town.

Other clubs with new grounds have increased attendance figures in the second and third seasons.

Surely that isn't a permanent thing?

It only has to last up to say the Leeds or Wigan game to have an impact. If we sell 17,200, then it's had an impact, as we could have sold 17,201.

According to the RLFANS.STATS page, the attendance against Salford in 2010 (last year at KR) was 7728, so we doubled that - but probably because it was the first League game.

The real test will be the Catalans game - in 2010, we got 8442 at KR, and that was played in July of that year. This year, with 10,000 season tickets sold, them not bringing a lot, being cold, not being on TV, and with a few walk ups, I would hope we get at least 12,000, which would be a very good increase in my opinion.

For the 2010 season, our average was 11,191 (for just SL games - not play off games). We had 2 x 17500 sellouts in successive games, and big crowds against Hull (in the fog, Sean Long's return) and Cas (last league game at KR).

For this season, I would expect sellouts against Wigan and Warrington, close to sellouts against Leeds (sunday game should mean they bring a few) and Widnes, and decent crowds against the 2 Hull teams who generally bring a good number of supporters. If we could average 14,000, I think that would be a brilliant achievement - almost a 25% increase from KR.

I thought we had lost the STATS page, do you have a link?
