Last season's Thursday/friday easter fixtures had none of Leeds, Wigan or Hull fc at home. The Monday fixtures weren't big ones either. In fact even at sell out just the fact Hull kr had their home Hull derby at easter and Saints had theirs instead of the other way around is an 11k difference based on the attendances of last year. Our easter fixtures last year also saw a particularly low Wakefield crowd because of the stadium issues.
Easter 2005 we had two 20k+attendances without a Hull derby or Leeds playing at home. Cherry picking is a losing argument.'"
No, ignoring facts, back tracking and generally making stuff up is losing an argument.

You seem to have mistaken the fact that attendances are up at easter compared to easter last year with your opinion that this is a very strong indication that crowds will be up.

| This weeks attendances have taken a bashing in like for like attendances compared to last years fixtures. Swings and roundabouts hey.

You seem to miss the point that the attendances he was crowing about were higher because they weren't a valid comparison and the attendances were pretty badly down this week for the same reason. It's not about being positive or negative about it because not comparing like for like will bite you in the ass. Just as it did and just as I predicted.

And you continually seem to be ignoring the post where I said I'd posted similar figures on another thread, comparing the first 4/5 rounds which were all UP. So even with the expected drop last weekend, we're still well up this year.
Still, if it makes you feel better that one round is down then you go for it! We can't be having any positivity around here can we. This is RLFans afterall.

but in your eyes the only possible way you would accept a comparison is by using my ridiculously stupid example....

No. I wouldn't even accept that. Because it still wouldn't be what we are aiming for. There is no comparison between last ear and this. Just one with massive holes in it that can and will be spun by whoever to whatever agenda they are pushing.

They weren't all up. The average attendance removing London and Bradford who aren't in SL any more is a grand total of 101 higher this year than last. Just over 1% which is about 6k. Over 60 matches. It is nothing.
We aren't 1 round down. We have had 10 rounds. Of which even you are only (incorrectly) claiming we are up on 4 or 5 rounds.
The fact is we have barely seen any change at all in the amounts attending. Some are up, some are down but basically we are the same. You crowing about the easter attendances was just stupid because the growth you were crowing about was always going to be evened out this week. And just as it would be stupid to start slitting our wrists because of the substantial fall this week it was stupid to start popping the champagne last week because of those attendances. Neither were representative of where we are.
Once again. What you thought it showed. It didn't show.

It's a very strong indication that the season's going well though, despite what all the naysayers were claiming when the new system was announced..
Just something else worth mentioning
Nighty night indeed

You're clearly not quite as intelligent as you'd like to think, or you are and are just trolling now.
I'll say for maybe the 3rd or 4th time now, the figures over Easter AND the first 4-5 rounds figures I posted on another thread clearly show the crowds to be UP on last season SO FAR.
It's not rocket science for christ's sake.

And for probably the 5th or 6th time now you aren't comparing comparable things. What you think it shows. It does not. You are misunderstanding the statistics.
