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.

INOUT
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.

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.

Just keep moving those goal posts won't you....

I give in

Where's billy when you need him

so how on gods green earth can you claim attendances arent going up? what stats are you using to back this up? other than "debunking" loiners stats you've yet to provide any evidence to the contrary. please feel free to provide this at your earliest convenience

Crowds are up. Very very slightly. They are up on average 101 per game. But that is a very very small amount. One which is about 1%. One which would have a million and one different reasons for being very very very slightly up.

In fact it is almost completely made up of the difference between Wigan v Saints last year and Wigan v Saints this year. If for instance Wigan v Leeds gets what it is usually gets (about 15k) rather than what it got last year (nearly 21k) that 'growth' we are claiming has happened has been completely wiped out. If that happens and Wakefield average 500 fans less over the next 6 home games then we are down 1%. There hasn't been a strong indication of anything. And even if there were at this point in the season it would tell us anything because the sample size is very small, the data less than half complete and you are comparing two seasons with some pretty major differences. And Even then we aren't taking into account the we are seeing crowds pretty much half at London and Bradford.

I’m afraid William has been hounded out by the rose tinted brigade.

Due to the new system with the split & all, there can be no comparisons to previous years, this is year one.

Yeah how dare people be positive when he's trying to troll RLFans day after day, month after month, year after year. Guy's had more dummy spits than Maggie Simpson.



Not at all, the first 23 rounds can be compared with last season up to the play offs. It won't tell the full story but won't be far off and will be a decent indication of how the new system's gone in it's first year.
