Ours is higher than what I thought it would be but still not good enough, if we ever want a crack at SL we need these to massivley improve but I just cannot see it happening.

Even if we start winning every game for the next 3 years by 30 points top the league each year and win the GF & NRC I just think people will have more excuses of why they can't come (no promotion, whats the point the leagues to easy etc)

Alot of fans want to watch superleague players.With been in the Championship and no promotion or relegation the fans have lost interest.Widnes used to have over 4000 when was just relegated, but now they are leaving due to poor rugby and performances.If Leigh got a licence your attendances would get a average better than Salfords. The away support is rubbish in this league.Leigh have brought the best away support this season to Widnes.

We have 5 games with over 2000 and our average has gone down because our last two home games where 1265 and 1682 respectively.

That's why they call them ' averages ' frank

Thanks Steve it never occurred to me how badly I put it. I should have posted after our poor spell recently (the Widnes away game excepted of course).

so does that mean no one in this division deserve too go up, as they dont have crowds above 4000

Crowds go up when watching sl games
our ave in sl when we were in it, was about 4500 too 4700
not bad for a team at the bottom of the league apart from one game

anyway back to my drinking at the side of the pool
and having a great time with the family

keep singing for the lads see you all soon

Kev

Stopping looking on here and enjoy your hols ,its far too depressing atm, see you soon x x x

Get back to the sun Kev you'll never get sunburned being on here

Crowds in this league will never get much higher than they are because of no automatic promotion. Going back 8-9 years I remember there being 5-6000 at Widnes when we played. Be interesting to see what our average was the season we went up.

maybe you should tell the wig**er who wrote to the express and said we rarely get over 1000

It was only about 2200, we averaged more in the season after SL, 2003 was our best average in the 00's in the 2nd tier.

Fairly certain our ave was around 1,800 in 2004 , had more of a passing interest at the time in our income streams

Dont forget we had no mutants to play back then and Fax,Fev and HKR were all at a very low ebb

For the Championship I think overall avg attendences across the league are better now than they were a few years back, but the attendences in Champ1 these days are frightening. I don't know how those clubs are keeping running. Back when Fev were in that league I'm sure a few others like Oldham and York were pulling in more than 1k home support, looking at it now there's barely anyone even getting close to it.
