It appears Bill Eve is missing the grand final from his 'Play Off' Figures...oops!
Grand Final attendances
2009 - GF = 63,259, therefore total attendance = 132,254
2010 - GF = 71,526, therefore total attendance = 166,099
2011 - GF = 69,107, therefore total attendance = 145,651
2012 - GF = 70,676, therefore total attendance = 145,600
Average over 4 years = 147,401
Therefore Durhams guestimate of 150,000 as a ballpark figure is absolutely spot on.
