as a wakefield fan, i wouldnt complain tbh, considering the difficulty in viewing the game at belle view when standing!

as for kc views, hardly a bad view is it and i dont get how its poor, you were undercover!

Bradford Bulls are a MASSIVE club, and hopefully will be back in Super League soon. They are are even bigger than Toronto/Manchester Wolfpack, and that take's some doing !

Leeds' figures tbf are going to be hit this year due to the building work and limited capacity at Headingley we have this year. Given we are usually the top avg. attendance in the league they will be an impact on the overall average/total in SL this year that people should (but probably won't) take into consideration when the inevitable attendance figure threads pop up.

Averages to date.....Leeds taking thhe game to Bell End Road was a cracking idea.

You left a perfect space for the Bradford ave attendance to fit in, seems a shame to not to. 3862 based on two home games vs Hunslet (3688) and Oldham (4036), pretty good for the third tier I'd suggest. I'd expect us to have over 4k average by the end of the season.

Let's address a few things here:

First of all it SNOWED on the Pennines heavily, as well as in Leeds and Bradford. There was also an accident given some idiot drove the wrong way overnight and caused it to shut. That immediately stops more away fans going or have reservations about travelling. We know how notoriously bad the M62 is at the best of times.

Secondly, we didn't know if the game would be on with the flooding and heavy rain. I'm pretty sure a lot of Cas fans didn't want to risk it and likewise any Warrington fans viewing the pictures in the morning and seeing the weather may have held off. Add in the fact, that a lot of people don't want to stand in the pee wet through I can see the valid reason why a lot of people may not want to travel, especially with two games on the box too.

They're valid excuses, along with school holidays and people going away. Given that our last two attendances against Warrington have both gained over 8000 fans, what do you put a nearly 20% drop YoY attendance from?

Great post all valid reasons for a reduced gate, whilst I don't want to go into our crowds per se, we seem to get stitched up with our games, an easter weekend when teams play big derby games we get Catalans year on year and the local derby against Leeds away

. The Catalans game kicks off at midday and then there was Leeds away with all the problems re the weather and M62.

On to this weekends game against Warrington which should be one of our bigger crowds what happens some smart ass decides we should be on sky on a saturday afternoon sandwiched between the Merseyside derby and more importantly the Manchester derby yes the Manchester derby in a place that holds football as a religion and not even any ordinary derby one where City could be crowned champions.

And we wonder why crowds are on the decline.. It beggers belief.

How bad is the weather in St Helens tonight?

When you are analysing figures for only two games you have to take note of the opposition, as an example Leigh’s attendance would have been significantly higher if Featherstone or Halifax had been the visitors rather than London.

4k for 3rd tier is excellent. Hull KR averaged around 2k when we were down there. Would be great to see Bradford back in SL.

Pretty good I reckon.
