couple of decent attendances tonight
castleford v salford 6901
hull fc v catalans 11994
leeds v wigan 18350
last night
saints v warrington 12618 (this one a bit disappointing really given that saints are top and warrington doing well)
Saints were top last year and Warrington doing well for the same fixture. They keep churning it out on a Thursday night. If you keep doing the same thing, then expect to get the same result.
Thursdays are crap, I don't even think the jury is out on this one, they are just poor nights to play. Put it on a Friday/Sat/Sun and regardless of league position you would slap 2 - 4 thousand on that gate.
It's a about keeping the customer happy and whilst the TV need a programme for Thursdays, these low Thursday crowds will continue. Saints adapted to Friday nights a long time ago, because of the nature of Sky putting is on a lot.
