Super League Crowdwatch

St Helens' new stadium is an oval IIRC???

Going to do more harm than good i reckon. Oval's are sh*t for watching RL.

 

[deluded pom?]

Where did you get that info from brendo? Why would Saints new ground be an oval? We don't play much Aussie rules in England and I don't think they play much cricket in St Helens either! Speedway? No way. Athletics? Doubtful.

It will maybe be an oval shape in the same way that the KC is, but I very much doubt it will be a cricket-type oval. They're not planning to groundshare I don't think, so there would be no need for one.

The KC stadium is an oval design but the playing surface is rectangular.

That's what I meant.

I think this round is currently 57,700 after 4 games so if Giants and HKR can get 13k between them we will get another rd of 70,000 which will be great news.

For the Cardiff weekend i will say 60,000 (30k each day) will be a success.

 

[Evil Homer]

Didn't quite make it - roughly 5k and 6k at the Giants and KR games respectively. Still decent crowds considering next to no away support at both of those games and the fifth home game in 5 weeks for Hudds.

 

[langpark]

Hudds - 4,894
Hull KR - 6,299
Catalan -9,050
Leeds - 21,975
Hull FC -12,767
Wigan - 14,108

Total - 69,093
Average - 11,515

Still a great round. kudos to Leeds especially.

 

[deluded pom?]

Only 6,299 at HKR. Are the rats deserting a sinking ship already?

 

[S.S.T.I.D]

I wonder what Huddersfield will have to do to increase their support? Anything over 4.5K is good for them, but that just isn't good enough for top flight footy.

After Round 11

Season total 677,304
Season average 10,262

Would it be possible for someone to post a club by club home attendance breakdown?

I can't find a single source and would like to know if possible. Thanx cobbers.

Just click on the teams to the left for their averages.

Thanks ParraEels.

Paul Cooke's "homecoming" failed to galvanise the Dobbins support as only 6,500 turned up.

A bit unfair - the Quins crowd is likely to be the lowest of the season. Average is around 7k, should be up to 7.5-8k by the end of the season with games against Leeds and Bradford to come.

Fair call. I didn't actually realise that Huddersfield averaged 6600. It seems as though every time I read the match reports on superleague.com that their home crowd is 4500 or thereabouts.

From 10000 kms away, league in London seems a lost cause. For the sport to grow there must be a London based team IMO, but something needs to be done to help them draw support. Perhaps the RFL just need to pump a disproportionate amount of advertising money on Quins matches.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about Huddersfield's averages. Quins so far this season are averaging somewhere in the 3000 range i believe.

Yeah, that wasn't a very clear post on my part. I was talking about Huddersfield in the first paragraph.

 

[In-goal]

With time and buy that real time i think quins can be a success, after all it's realy only there second season.

If they are able to win some silverware in the next couple of seasons more suport will be a given.
