On viewing the now locked Salford Attendance thread thought I'd give you these figures to mull over. They are average attendances for SL clubs in Super League since 1996. Obviously some clubs have only been in the league 1 year, some 13 years and others in between but still


1. Leeds 13880
2. Bradford 12857
3. Wigan 12026
4. St Helens 9513
5. Hull FC 9290
6. Hull KR 7855
7. Catalans 7696
8. Warrington 7567
9. Paris 6790
10. Castleford 6650
11. Widnes 6514
12. Huddersfield/Hudds-Sheff 5125
13. Wakefield 4984
14. Halifax 4778
15. Leigh 4750
16. Salford 4529
17. Sheffield 4257
18. Gateshead 3895
19. Harlequins/London 3885
20. Oldham 3541
21. Workington 2322

Note: They don't include this seasons current averages. They are 1996-2008.

Thank god for Workington or Oldham or that might have been embarrassing for London.

I don't think that is embarrassing for Quins. I mean they don't really have a big derby they can promote - unlike most other clubs in the league. Even at Easter they end up with Catalans at home which is not good to try and get a big crowd in because no one really is going to travel from Perpignan.

And the difference is probably the away support numbers between them being at 3885 and being at Salford/Sheffield/Leigh/Halifax's attendance level.

wed be over 5000 if our final season in SL wasnt such a writeoff

In another 13yrs, will bradford be 2nd?
Good to see saints 4th.

Is there any stats to see who has improved their attrndance the most over the years?

you have to take into account that the figures for paris, quins and to a lesser extent catalans will have suffered due to away supporters.
the point that bilko made about quins not having a derby and getting catalans at easter cant help either.

Ditto, most of our averages were over 7000. But these are the facts.

Wll, that will depend on the number of people who go to watch them over the next 13 years, as compared with the number of people who go to watch other clubs over the next 13 years, and the effect that the aggregate totals of the future spectators, when combined with the pst figures, have on the combined table in 2022.


Yes. rlOn this very siterl.

FWIW the Leeds figure I have is: 1996-2008

SL Home Regular Rounds: 2,395,181 (Avg 13,845)

Inc Home SL Play Offs: 2,560,025 (Avg 13,913)

Let me think about that for a second:

Well, that will depend on the number of people who go to watch them over the next 13 years, as compared with the number of people who go to watch other clubs over the next 13 years, and the effect that the aggregate totals of the future spectators, when combined with the past figures, have on the combined table in 2022.

Just my opinion you understand.

Anyone got the old First Division pre-SL attendance figures?.
