Massive mave of optimism, first home game of the season, 1000 more passes sold than last year. I'd be pretty disappointed if it's below 15,000 tbh.

Some pretty good attendances there..........how do they compare with RU ?

With this being the first away game of the season for an excited Warrington following on the back of a dream opening day preformence i'd expect them to take at least 2,000.

Cas always seem to have a pretty solid following of 6-7,000 on and with the win over Leeds i'd expect that to be at the high end aswell so it should be at very least 8k.

I wouldn't have thought close to 10k is impossible.

14K would be a good crowd.

I'd be suprised if it were any less after the Saints preformence. It's also the first chance for alot of the Hull fans to see Long, Fitzgibbon and O'Meely in competative action.

I've just googled them......... apparently the RU Premiership is averaging just over 84k per weekend, or a little over 12k per game.

When you consider the Special events/double headers they put on at Twickenham, then the SL figures stand up quite well in comparison. A good Magic weekend and SL could overtake them.

This just means that 1000 people who were walk up last year will have passes this year.

I would be prepared to be disappionted.

Should do it on a week by week basis.
I bet crowds go up this year, last year we were dragged down by Crusaders and Quins but I reckon the former will be way up.

yes i will be doing.

i really get a kick out of seeing clubs growing their crowds, no matter who they are.

crowds last year werent bad. the average figures falling disguised the fact that the 2 new teams added had very poor crowds.

the 2 hull clubs really stand out for mine.

its a shame leeds doesnt have 2 SL clubs really.

The recession too.
We were making steady progress before the average fans wallet got hit.
We own a law firm and are not poor by any means, but when you have to outlay £17 a week for adults and then kids on top, you just can't justify paying it most of the time when there's bills to be paid and food to be bought. I reckon it's families that will have knocked crowds back a bit last year, we know loads who are in the same boat in Warrington especially as you can get two in the cinema for 7 quid on a wednesday or a couple of meals for a tenner in a nice pub.

The ticket offer this week to get nearly 12k against Harlequins shows the potential support is there, I bet its the same for every club

Leeds crowds seem to be dwindling slightly. Iirc last years average was the first time it was lower than the previous year, for quite some time. Considering they've won 3 straight league titles, add to that a couple of good signings you would think they've reached their peak - if they can't attract full houses now they never will.

The weekend derby against cas was down compared to recent years for the same game:

2008 17,619
2008 17,354
2009 16,931
2010 15,875

Supporters getting bored with winning, Leeds Utd doing relatively well once again?
