Just the kind of news you want going into new TV deal negotiations
I think T.V executives are not naive enough to realise that Hull V Hull KR, and Wigan V Saints playing on the same day bloats these figures massivley, lets not kid ourselves that there were thousands of new fans attending, or that the respective home teams will get anywhere near the figures quoted in their next fixture.
2000+ at London is laughable, they only have 900 season ticket holders, Catalan bring ziltch, so they miraculously had 1100 new fans attending.
You can manipulate figures all day long, having watched Hull City at the KCOM for years and having a fairly good head for attendance numbers, can anyone explain how there were over 5000 empty seats at the KCOM?
The full East Stand hold 5000 so you work it out? The stadium didn't appear to have 5000 empty seats, not by far.
