I know this gets done to death but here are average attendances for the season so far:

Widnes 6,911 +16%
Hull FC 12,529 +5%
Leeds 15,009 +0%
Wakefield 9,637 +0%
Hull KR 7,426 -5%
Wigan 15,284 -5%
Castleford 6,306 -5%
Warrington 10,719 -6%
Catalan 7,540 -20%
Huddersfield 6,144 -20%
St Helens 10,647 -25%
Bradford 8,307 -29%
London 1,837 -35%
Salford 3,285 -40%

Whilst the top 8 on the list are ok, there must be some serious concerns for the bottom half and the biggest shock on here is Catalan, who are doing pretty well this season and with their squad getting closer to full strength, they could be real contenders at the end of the season.

London and Salford figures are plain embarrassing

Sorry but that can't be right - we don't have an average anything like over 9500.

Re: point above - Wakefield's is 7,912.

I'm guessing the Magic weekend attendances are part of that average?

If Magic weekend crowd is in your average then I'm definitely claiming that as an away win for Cas then

And are these compared to the same fixtures last year or last years end of year average?

Not as part of mine it isn't.

And given that the attendance for Magic Weekend for our game was circa 31k on the Saturday, it would add on around 3k to the figure. As such, I think it's just an error on the OP's part but could be wrong.

So everyone is down on last year against same opposition except Wishes who are a massive 3 people higher.

I'd suggest whilst we're slightly down, our income would be much improved as we increased our ST by £25

We still have Leeds, Bradford, Saints & Cas to come to us yet though.

Our average will be higher by he end of the season.

We've some big games to come crowd wise too.

Those attendance figures are based on a like for like match. Here are the figures we got against Leeds, Bradford, St Helens and Cas last season;

Leeds - 9,547
Cas - 9,786
St Helens - 7,876
Bradford - 6,934

Those in my opinion will prove tough to be improve upon. Other clubs we have remaining to play at home, include Widnes (8,234) & London (5,876). So today's attendance figure will play a major factor on whether we continue to increase our average attendance year on year.

2013 is a total write off for Salford I'm surprised anyone bothered to turn up with the uncertainty of the start of the season, the squad we were left with after 10 of our best players were sold and the thrashings we've endured. I don't think anyone can realistically say Salford should be getting higher attendances than last year. Feel free to judge next year. When hopefully we should be better all round.

That would be a more pertinent statement given some of our performances against poorer teams this season. With the club virtually giving tickets away and reducing gate prices in an attempt to attract newbies an entertaining performance and a big win is vitally important to the club increasing attendances for the rest of the season, let's hope the players have been made aware of it.
