Quote: JB Down Under "I don't see it as bagging the game showing how it is travelling attendance wise. I enjoy being able to measure our success or failure, keep the stats coming!'"
There is nothing wrong with pointing out the attendances. It's obvious that crowds are down and it should be discussed.
I do however, dislike apparent fans taking so much pleasure out of it. Take a quick look at William Eve's posts and he doesn't post anything except things about poor crowds. We had a great weekend of fixtures, but he doesn't feel the need to comment on the games. He does however, take an incredible amount of time posting about the crowd figures at these games.
Let's not forget, he started this thread after round 1 and described it as 'attendances tumbling,' Whether attendances have been low since is irrelevant, it was a ridiculous comparison to make and to describe in that way.
The test for me is whether he would continue doing it if crowds improved back to normal levels and it's pretty clear that he wouldn't. We have an apparent fan of RL coming on to a RL board to consistently and constantly talk the game down.
That for me is just trolling but what is worse is that he gets heard above everybody else. We had some cracking games in the last 2 days, a draw, a 1 point victory, a Widnes win at Wire yet what dominates the thread, crowds, crowds and more crowds. All because of somebody with a clear dislike of RL.
