Round 1 attendances:
Super 8's
Leeds - 13,118 (15,921)
Wigan - 11,448 (13,981)
Catalan - 7,392 (8,925)
Castleford - 6,760 (7,468)
All 4 Ties delivered lower than average attendances for the season by 7,577.....it would seem not every second counts in Superleague.


Middle 8's
Salford - 3,400 (4,167)
Bradford - 6,032 (5,222)
Leigh - 4,454 (3,787)
Halifax - 3,022 (1,973)

Great effort from the fans of the Championship sides here, with 2,526 more fans in attendance than bothered with in the regular season. Salford back up the trend set by the SL sides with another pitiful crowd 700 or so below their seasons average if the nicely rounded figure of 3,400 is to be believed.

Releg8's
London - 350 (731)
Dewsbury - 901 (1,462)
Featherstone - 1,107 (2,241)
Workington - 864. (805)

2,197 fewer fans than the average for the season attended this first week of the race to be crowned the 17th best side in Europe, with only the good folk of Cumbria turning out in better than average numbers.

A bitter London fan posting on attendance threads at midnight? This can only mean one thing...

Not much slips past you does it.

As long as you're happy...but it is a thread about crowds!

The points you got might count for nothing when Koucash gets fed up of flogging a dead donkey.

Plastic club.

He threw one ball at the whole crowd?! Was it a really big ball that got everyone in one go, or did he keep retrieving it and throwing it at the heads of each Salford fan one by one until he'd 'incited' them all?

Another idiot on RL Fans, maybe it could bang you on the head.

Sinfield's a right scumbag. He keeps kicking it into the crowd every time Leeds score. The RFL need to do something. Won't somebody please think of the children.

Wonder if he thought he was playing dodgeball? If a Salford fan had've caught it, it would mean he was out and another Salford fan would be back in play.

players should take some care i agree, but to more or less sweep crowd disturbances under the carpet because of a players actions is ridiculous, Miller didn't tell the salford fans to throw stuff at him, just like when it happened vs us,
if you go to a sports game where emotions run high,emotional players celebrate a bit too much for your liking then you really shouldn't be putting yourself through this.

ATEOTD, the people in the stands are responsible for their actions not the players on the field, i would have thought there was enough sticks to poke Salford with lately without the fans having to make an ever bigger target for their circus club to ridiculed and put down even more.

excellent turn out that, well done

ban every kicker and every player who throws a ball away after they've scored because a few braindead Salford fans can't handle themselves in public!
