Crusaders also expected to sell out against arguably the best team in superleague right now (Wigan) but according to someone over on the crusaders board that didnt happen because it was a nice day and even though 10,000 had bought tickets 4000 failed to turn up on the day because they were all doing barbeques

What? Murrayfield wasn't a home game for any team - why would their home ground attendances include it? And if every team in the league had a 50,000+ attendance in their stats for that round of SL, you'd expect the averages to be a lot bigger than they were. Or are you just making things up?

Are people being confused by the numbers on slstats.org? The average attendance shown on the main page is for all games. If you want home average attendance, you need www.slstats.org/Home.html

Waits for someone to notice that Harlequins come out close to the top on the average *away* attendance (over 4000 ahead of the teams whose fans don't travel away in numbers - Crusaders, Catalans, Salford, Huddersfield.)

Teams like Wigan, Leeds and Hull disgust me. It's them who are making everyone look bad. If they posted attendances of 5,000 and 6,000 we wouldn't be having threads like this. It's a bloody disgrace.

They're not exactly harmed by the fact they've played Leeds and Wigan away, and Wigan had over 18000 on that night.

The reason Quins came out high is because teams offer ticket promotions against them, We did and so did Wigan

That's not what happened though is it Barry.

....exactly. Clubs know we travel up on the back of a scooter and ACT accordingly...........but you'll always get the fans of "some clubs" in East Hull going on about our lack of away fans and it being the number 1 reason we should be booted out of SL


When will people realise that attendances count for 2 licence points and quins will get a licence next time, as will Crusaders based on the expansion ticket. I would be worrying more about stadiums and finances if I were a fan of any of the other c licence winners last time.....Quins have a backer who will continue to catch the debt.....they balance their books every year.

As for Crusaders, they will build their fan base year on year and if they can put together a decent cup run or challenge for honours in the next 4 years, they will average 8 to 9K easily. 6k in their first season in a new town is pretty good...considering the sport has no history of being played there.

Where does it say they did?

I think the figures include challenge cup, which brings some clubs averages down.
