Quote: Chorlton RL "Wigan 15423 - They are planning for avg 20k in next few seasons!!
Leeds 15064 - Can and should be able to get better I'd say. Are there any plans to rebuild South Stand?
Hull FC 13084 - Plans to expand stadium, a really good core support, could be breaking the 15k mark soon
St. Helens 11515 - In new stadium you would think they should be able to push the 15k mark
Warrington 10880 - plans to expand to 18k over next few years (then 22k, I think) Good ticket pricing and continued success will see success there
Bradford 8919 - Will they see those terrific crowds they used to pull again?
Hull KR 8159 - Aren't there plans for expansion? Would imagine with redevelopment 10k is a poss
Huddersfield 8066 - Great stadium and done really well to increase attendances thus far,dunno about further increase
Catalans 6868 - Down because of building work,but would have thought 10k is within reach
Castleford 6423 - Lower than usual, with new stadium can see Cas breaking the 10k avg
Wakefield 6158 - Belle Vue is what holds Trin back, would have thought we can break the 10k mark soon after moving in
Crusaders 5610 - Lots of potential, here's hoping!
Salford 4200 - be a few year off getting 10k,but with new stadium should be doable given time
Harlequins 3358 - well...'"
Can't see any of these big increases TBH. Lots of jobs going to disappear in the next couple of years,fans will pick and choose the games they attend.You mention Wigan averaging 15,000,going up to 20,000.Why?
Wigan playing their best and most successful rugby for years,surely anyone remotely interested in the club will already be attending.
I can see attendances standing still or even dropping at many clubs. Clubs will have to come up with cut-price deals on tickets if they can afford it.
