Quote: gutterfax "It's an endless debate that is going nowhere because you fail to accept that the average attendance at an event is arrived at by counting the actual total number of attendees and dividing it by the actual number of games....regardless of the spin used by the RFL, RFU or anyone else, the basics of mathematics point to the figure to date being about 17k. The failure to grasp basic mathematics is alarmingly rife on here.

the person not counting the number of attendees and dividing it by the number of games is you. For some reason you have chosen to either halve the number of attendees to two matches or pretend that one match had no attendees.
The 17k figure you are talking about doesn't refer to anything. Even at stretch there is logic in counting a double header as one event with one 45k attendance. Even it is wrong
There is no logic whatsoever in counting it as 2 matches with 2 22.5k attendances. Even those not familiar with the basic maths you feel so confident about would know only a moron or a troll would simply make up a figure
