For us, it potentially does....


We play Leeds not on sky, we get 11,000 +.

We play Leeds on sky, its been around the 8,000 mark the last 2/3 years.

So it contributes yes. Just one example though.

Add into that Catalans played on a Tuesday

First two home games on Sky - Warrington and KR - both teams travel well.

Bradford played at 11:30am.

Castleford have had 4 attendances over 11k this millennium. And not one since prior to their 2nd relegation. and since then only one over 10k, which was against Wakefield and not Leeds. This is indicative of the attendances as a whole falling (as are the averages) rather than an unfortunate coincidence with Sky and Leeds.

Leeds - 2006 - 11,016. Incidentally, the last time it WASNT played on TV.

Nice one Fully

As I said

what part of that was your post in response to?

We both know, Leeds not on Sky, crowd = 10+. Trivial argument I know, principle still stands though, imo.

I'm not pretending anything I'm just stating a fact.

When we play Leeds for example, we will get crowds of 10/11,000 when its not on sky.

Our biggest attendances the last 2 season have come against Wakefield, both games NOT on sky. That's all i'm stating. Not pretending anything.

I wouldn't bother mate, even with facts for him he still tries saying you're wrong and wont give in until you get bored and give in, it's like a broken record that you can't turn off. Or one of them annoying little dogs, you know the type, the ones that keep yapping and running round under your feet.

Cheers Gaslight. I know what you mean.

You are pretending you will get crowds of 11k when the game isnt on Sky. You have got 4 crowds of that level in 10 years. You want to pretend that there is a pattern there, fine. But there obviously isnt.

I blame Gareth Thomas.

Wow, witty, seriously I'm surprised you don't have your own sketch show with humour like that
