Can't see us taking much more than 1000 to Leeds on Friday to be fair. |

Attendances have been disappointing as they normally are in the play offs.
I think the amount of televised games over the super8 n middle 8s is a factor in this, and would create the same issue in winter or summer

I would suggest that the biggest single event that has affected our game for the worse is Rugby Union going professional. At a stroke we have been deprived of a source that has in the past provided many of the we have been thrilled to watch. Where are the Sullivans, Bostons, Offiahs, Botticas et al? They were the sort of players that pulled in the crowds. Now if we produce any stars they are off where the grass is greener. |

It dodn't though did it.
Attendances are higher now than in the last 20 or 30 years of winter rugby even during Wigans glory spell 85 - 96. |

The difference is the Super 8s count on a season ticket, whereas the old top 8 games didn't. |

I think as big a factor as any that hits attendances is when fans have already watched the visiting team at home once already in the same season.

| Quote Rogues Gallery="Rogues Gallery"Wigan v Huddersfield attendance down 1000 on corresponding game earlier in the season
Leeds v Wire attendance down 4000 on corresponding game earlier in the season
Cas v Hull attendance down 2000 on corresponding game earlier in the season
I don't think this is what the RFL envisaged.'"
Perhaps the attendances had something to do with the fixtures only being promulgated on 29 July, 8 days before they took place.
If the remaining 6 are all down (Millwall excepted), then there's an issue, but I think the lower crowds were more down to the short-notice of who is playing who when. |

I was slammed on here for criticising the new format but as expected I for one have not seen any difference irrespective of what sky pundits and others say. Biggest game in 10 years for Leigh according to sky with a team of a generation and they still cant pull 4k If it wasn't for the fact that I want my sons to continue to support the game I loved I would stop going after nearly 40years.

You do know a lot of people are on holiday, right?
Attendances are always down in August compared to May.
