For the man united and liverpool games there is a lot more than that in the home ends. I get plenty of free tickets to go and watch latics and the south stand is normally a third full.

Latics don't really have that many 'fans' in reality. I could name so many people who -

Get free tickets game by game
Get a free season ticket from their job and don't go but get counted on the attendance
Buy a season ticket just to watch some premiership football, they don't support the team
Go just cause their mates go
Have jumped on the bandwagon over the last few years
Switched from another club, would you want 'fans' like this supporting your club

Them taking 78 fans to spurs says it all to me really. They have the worst away support in the premierleague.

We were bottom of the league and our attendances went up, we are loyal fans, they are the opposite.

They are many football fans in the town who are loyal fans to other surrounding clubs but I don't think that makes it a rugby town.

I work in starbucks in the town centre so I chat with a alot of people, I also hear alot of people talking throughout the day, I only ever hear about rugby. The last time I heard about football was the other week and it was to do with the pitch.

In conlusion and slightly off-topic from my own post, it's great to see some fantastic crowds this year, strong teams from warrington and wigan will do super league good not only for the product but for the amount of people they get through the gates.

Some clubs need to sort themselves out, expecially Bradford IMO and also quins. Salford will probably be out next time around anyway. I just think stadia is the key, look what it has done for all the teams with new stadiums. Cas and wakey would really kick on like warrington with a new stadium.

The worst thing about the Salford attendance is there was a big following from Hull that was easily picked up by the Sky Cameras

40% of the crowd was probably Hull fans.

Not looking good for Monday then.

Rd. 9
Crusaders v Quins P
Giants v Catalans 5,926
HKR v HFC 10,089
St's v Wigan 17,500
Wakey v Cas 8,337
Wolves v Salford 11,467
Leeds v Bulls 17,244

Total= 70,563 (6 games)
Avg= 11,760

Best average so far surely?

yes, previous best was Rd1 with 11,155.

14,100+ at fc v warrington today

boosted by the postponed game though

some shockers today i'm afraid

bulls v crusaders 7853
cas v saints 6879
quins v rovers 2819
hull v wire 14131
salford v hudds 4014
wigan v wakey 14615

awaiting cats v leeds

im sure i heard eddie say over 9,000

didn't he say 8,900, could be wrong

8,230 catalan v leeds

My crystal ball tells me that Quins v St Helens will see a gate of 14,816 so next weeks average will be up. Shame that the evidence LIVE ON SKY will prove that the gate is nowhere near that.
