Quote: Shoe Shine Johnny "Catalans first four crowds of 2011 were 7156, 7095, 8025, 7500. This tends to suggest that April to August are the peak months for increase in crowds. Perhaps the 6 nations and USAP season does have an effect early on.'"
Their first 4 games last season were 8413, 8252, 9495, 8471 which means that, for whatever reason they are down over 1000 per game (on average)
If this were to carry on they become the 2nd lowest support in SL ??? this assmes that Widnes dont start to drop too many and that Broncos dont have a surge in supporter numbers.
Of course, the vast majority of their support is home based fans, but does this begin to raise any questions ?
BTW, I think they add great value to SL, so i'm just playing devils advocate.
