I've lost count of how many times watching Union in the pub I've turned to discuss the game, only for the person next to me to admit that they have no idea about the rules and have never been to a match.'"
Yeah, because RU fans aren't 'real' fans like RL fans are. 
I've lost count of how many times someone has told that exact same story on a RL forum. |

RL Fans go to watch the game, RU fans go to an event where the game is incidental. Put simply the former go to see but the latter go to be seen.

Internationally maybe but not domestically.
There's about the same number of domestic fans of both codes and the difference is that the Union ones "can't get tickets" to internationals because of band-waggoners, whilst League fans just can't be 17rsed unless it's at a discount and/or local! |

I always thought there were the same number of fans but looking at the stats the Aviva Prem last year had an average (reg season) of 13,354 (total 1,802,769) and Super League had an average (reg season) of 9,997 (total 1,247,957) which means RU has more fans domestically (I stand to be corrected on the figures though as Maths was never my strong point). And if being a 'real' fan is not attending because the tickets aren't discounted then RL must have the most 'real' fans in the country. |

How many look at RU and how many watch it?
The same applies to other sports as well.

Really, are you honestly basing an argument on Unions published crowd figures |

Unions published crowd figures always look quite suspicious.
And they use the double header and "the big game" games attendance and add to each participating team adding an extra 220,000 spectators who never exsisted.
What would SL average be if you added to 45,000 to each clubs attendance from the magic weekend
