Fair call before you mentioned the wendyball aspect in the wrong side of those Hills ..

Wait, how will the prospect of going down to a semi pro bring in the punters? I doubt it has in any sport other than the odd one game a season

Pretty disappointing. 1 hell of a battle for the top 6, then an additional battle for that 8th place spot.

Last season the Giants v Salford fixture has 5, 345 people watching it.

This season it had 5,681.

Poor excuse. I managed to get from Birmingham on Friday to watch Trinty v Leeds then went to Skipton on Saturday for the Tour and Hebden Bridge on Sunday.
Attendances have been low all season - responsibility lays with the clubs not with F1, FIFA, the Tour de France or Wimbledon.

I think the Thursday night games are a good idea but only when its 2 local teams playing.

The Widnes v Cas game should of been 6/7 thousand but because it was on a Thursday night, the Cas following would ofr halved and maybe a third off the home following.

2012 was a record breaking season in terms of attendances. We suffered only one year of falling attendances in the franchising era. 2013. We then reverted to a system which has never worked for us

I expect a good few thousand of you there on the 24th July at the KC then

I believe William is on summer sabbatical, ala old school RL fans.

I’m sure he takes a sneaky look & updates his spreadsheet ready to be vilified once it shows yet another reduction on past seasons.

Licencing, jeopardy, I don’t think anyone can put a finger on the reasons for the decline, it’s probably a combination of things.

Personally I think some the clubs have become too reliant on Sky monies & don’t put in the hard yards to entice people through the gate.

The average attendance for the last pre-SL season was 5543, so we're well ahead there. The lower divisions make much less happy reading with 1368 contrasting with a combined average in Championship and Championship 1 of 866.

Am surprised at the Widnes vs Cas attendance. The way both sets of fans constantly slate Salford's crowds on social media, you would think they both play in front of sell out crowds every week.

last season, salford brought about 30 fans, this year, 200ish, could explain it.
although with upto 100,000 visitors to the huddersfield area over the weekend, i'm disappointed the giants didn't get out and put a big effort into getting some of those to come down...
