The Warrington attendance was up on the crowd for the same game last year.
The crows at Bradford was down about 2000.
The crowd at Saints was up over 2000.
The crowd at Rovers was up almost 1500.
The crowd at Salford was up over 2000.
The crowd at London was down (no surprise there!)
The crowd at Wakey was down but it was a sell out due to the reduced capacity.

Not all doom and gloom really.

Nobody said this round was a bad one....but the thread seems to only be updated by it's author when the results are positive. Billy claims his attendance thread was locked and therefore has decided not to bother, but I suspect if the positive news police continue to neglect this thread, he may be forced to make a return

8,547 for the first 5 games at the ground with it's new stand...20% up on last year ...if they can keep that level of growth up then they'll be up near 10,000 by the 2016 season. I hope they use the visit of London and Catalans to really promote the venue and matches as a viable option for spending disposable income....it's how some of the bigger clubs utilise these games where the crowd will always be smaller. Showcase the facilities....with the added bonus v London of a cast Iron guaranteed win

Strange isn't it? The Good News Police seem to hold sway here now, after badgering the moderators over the last 12 months in regard to their "anti-negativity" campaign.

And yet the Bad News Police are out in force with their troll-like behaviour given the slightest sniff of negative RL news "oh look, an attendance ending in a zero, fix!".

Who can blame RL fans bigging the game up after 100's of pages of drivel during last season and the RLWC. Lets just enjoy the game ffs.

Nobody blames anyone for positivity, but at least billy reported the good with the bad last year......2014 it seems has no place for the truth!

< cringe >

Just because some guy hasn't posted on a thread for a few weeks... Maybe he's busy with real life or realised there's actually more to life than spending hours of his time each and every week collating stats for a few trolls to dispute and argue over every time.

There's nothing stopping anyone else updating the thread with recent attendance info.

I delivered the first few weeks attendances (and by the way they are still up on last year) and received barely any replies - an awful amount of work for something people aren't interested in. I note that the likes of you and W. Eve return again when there are a poor set of crowds. Along with most other rugby league fans I have no interest in this forum anymore as it is overrun with doom merchants and trolls.

Had a great day despite Saints' loss yesterday - was a great atmosphere at a sold out Langtree Park. When was the last SL game you took in live Gutters?

If their was a good attendances on a Friday he would wait until all the weekend games to post the full list of attendances so it could get mixed in with the ones that had big drops. Whereas it the attendances on Fridays were poor he'd race on here shortly around 10pm that night to post them on their own.

Nothing like a good drama queen is their. One poster got bored keeping up with his thread when another person didn't and it's a cover up of truth and honesty in your eyes LOL

Since then I've attended NRL games in Auckland some 900 miles away 6 times or more a year and another 2 pr 3 in Australia which is a few thousand miles away.

Btw......are they still up 12%
