I agree JB. I recall attendances in the lower leagues being pretty underwhelming when I first started following the game. Certainly only Keighley were pulling them in in half decent numbers.
I think a-lot of folk have rose tinted glasses about times gone by and tend to remember the 60s. The 70s were pretty dire and unless you were a Wigan fan, so were the 80s and early 90s. Things are not brilliant at the moment as media profile of the game is well down compared to 20 years ago and the international game is appalling, but attendances, quality of the teams and stadia has taken a massive leap forward.
