No need to apologise to me. One annoyance on forums (don't think we have any on RAB) is the arrogant Attendance Knowall who usually wasn't there, much les counted anything, or has any rational basis to dispute, yet "knows" what the "true" attendance was "for a fact" and will not hear of any contrary view. If you provided them with a video of every punter going through every turnstile, and let them count and check the gate takings, they would dismiss and ignore it as a fake on a par with the Moon landings which they also believe were fake.
It's one of those weird internet afflictions that are sadly endemic. They usually make a higly sarcastic post about the official attendance, on a "How do those stupid folk at X Stadium possibly think they could pull the wool over MY eyes" basis.
They never explain why all the clubs and the RFL would want to declare, and thus pay tax on, people who never bought a ticket. I just find it sad and pathetic.
