because that helps my agenda
The reason I ask is that with my agenda I appear to have discovered a new method of determining attendances to waste my time trolling...
[list1. Cherry pick attendances which support my agenda.
1. Ignore the ones which don't
2. pretend entire clubs dont exist.
3. Dont compare like for like.
4. just make them up.
5. repeat ad nauseum.[/list:u
This season has the second best attendances at super league grounds in the history of the game. I dont want to talk about that because I am fairly insecure and nobody taught me the difference between good attention and bad attention. So i come on here and deliberately act like a moron so people will call me a moron and I can laugh smugly because that was my intention the whole time. Ha ha arent I funny guffaw and so on, SL whipping boy rabble, NRL fanboy nonsense, ha ha biting, ad hominem'"
Disappointingly being pointlessly annoying doesnt seem as fun as you pretend it is.

| Quote ="ThePrinter"Reading those links even Warrington fans say they estimate the Wire following at 2,500-3,000. That would mean that over 13,000 Hull fans turned up for a game which was effectively 'meaningless' to them as they were already guaranteed a playoff spot and it was on TV. Considering around 10,500 is the usual number for this game on a weekend night on TV then Hull would've had to have an extra 4,000 fans to what usually attend this fixture....'UNLIKELY' springs to mind.
'"
The attendance was 16,121. I remember the large crowd clearly.
As I posted earlier, a number of Hull fans will have swapped unused season ticket vouchers for an extra match ticket. For the last home league game in 2010 against Leeds we had an attendance of 16,208 and against Bradford in 2009 we got 13,412 despite being 12th in the league. Both of these were on Sky Sports, incidentally.

That's 6 things, you've listed '1' twice..........god you're bad with numbers aren't you
1 - Yes, you did do that, it was good while it lasted.
1 (again ![Rolling Eyes icon_rolleyes.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_rolleyes.gif) ) - What's funny is that if we could go back in time to Sept 2011 you'd be the first person to scoff at that number and say it's an exaggeration.
2 - Nope, several websites.......we've already worked out that your previous figures where based solely on ONE single website.
3 - Gathering info on previous fixtures ![IDEA a046.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//a046.gif) .......that's what you've been doing since the start of this thread you moron ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_lol.gif) it's the whole point of this thread in the first place, comparing figures year-to-year......god it's like talking to a whoopee cushion.
4 - So there were actually 32,535 in the KC then???
5 - Hey whatever you like to get up to in your spare time.
What's beautifully ironic is that while us 'positive ones' have found context for good and bad numbers, the only time you've added context to an attendance is this Hull/Wire one that you want so badly to boost your numbers up, yet it's extremely convenient earlier in the thread you make no mention of Hull/Bradford being postponed or Hudds/Wigan being moved forward 24 hours with days to spare. ![Rolling Eyes icon_rolleyes.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_rolleyes.gif) ............that dear boy is an agenda
And just for arguments sake lets allow you to keep your incorrect figures of 2013/2011 comparison TOTALS..... 220,648..... 232,744 (-12,096)..........I've already proven that Bradford at home are responsible for 14,217 less. So perhaps the thread should be renamed 'Bradford figures falling'.......but I've forgot, that's not the chosen agenda now is it
No, the whole reasoning behind this thread is that you think (and want others to believe too) that the regular season has become 'meaningless'.......so again quite ironic that your explaination of why the Hull/Wire crowd was so big was because several thousand extra Wire fans turned out to watch their team win the LLS.........you know, the prize you get for finishing 1st in the 'meaningless' weekly rounds. ![Rolling Eyes icon_rolleyes.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_rolleyes.gif) explain that dead-end you've just driven yourself into ![Very Happy icon_biggrin.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_biggrin.gif)

You did well to keep it up for so long, but that is far far too obvious. Your mask has slipped. You have let yourself down. At least a 93k increase in viewing figures is worrying. Nobody is going to believe that type of commitment to find the negative is sincere.'"
...and...as expected...
No debate allowed. If you have any question or concern about any figures you hate Rugby League.
Right, fine Smokey, we get it. Keep taking the pills.
OK, moving on, for those with dummies still in their mouths.
It still seems to me that whilst neither method is perfect, a comparison of viewing figures makes more sense round-by-round than it does pair-by-pair; specifically, I'd expect to see the first version more strongly correlated with whatever the final figure is at the end of the season. ( The only 'right' answer is at the end of the year, but Smokey's wannabe-a-moderator BS notwithstanding, it seems OK to me to TALK about the figures so far).
I repeat the genuine question - does anyone know of anything that could account for that Leeds-Hull figure? Was something else big on the telly that night?

And SL attendances in 2013 still remain down by over 8% compared to the same SL fixtures in 2012 and over 5% down on the same fixtures in 2011. It is to be hoped that attendances for this weekend's round of SL fixtures show a marked improvement on the previous rounds.'"
Good grief man, 'marked improvement' ?!? That would surely ruin our "agenda" to destroy the sport of Rugby League by posting on a forum. Have you lost the plot?!?

Leeds vs Hull on TV
2013 = 188,000 - Friday (Headingley)
2012 = 196,000 - Friday (Headingley) 98,000 - Saturday (KC)
2011 = 196,000 - Friday (KC) 154,000 - Friday (Headingley)
2010 = 138,000 - Saturday (KC)
2009 = 217,000 - Tuesday (Headingley) 147,000 - Saturday (KC)
Not much to read into that really, except maybe going on the Tuesday game figure that something like the Monday night thing they started last year could be a good idea for TV numbers.

I was more puzzled by this really:
Leeds V Hull (Fri) Round 1 2013... Viewers=188,000
Widnes V Wakefield (Fri) Round 1 2012... Viewers=251,000
Why would Widnes v Wakefield be watched by so many more ( same round of competition )? No agenda-chasing here, I just genuinely don't get what's going on with those two numbers.

Completely different things are Cup Finals and a weekly League so that's a poor comparision, Cup finals also include a trip down to Wembley and day out in London (providing the team doesn't already come from there) and for the likes of Bradford City fans maybe a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see them play and lift one of the major cups at Wembley. Whereas Warrington fans can and will attend the KC on a yearly basis no matter what.
So yes their still is a fairly big contradiction to what he said.
I also don't think every negative thought or comment about RL on here is to serve an agenda, I can just spot the ones that are. And credit to yourself because you've actually come out asking questions whereas others just keep with the ''it's cr@p'', ''it's a joke'', ''RL is doomed'' summarisation.

Intrigue? Widnes first game back in SL on the much maligned i-Pitch. I know I watched it however if the same game is on this year I probably won't. Likewise I watched Salford vs HKR last week because I was interested to see how Salford would fair against the first team they faced this year were they had a chance of competing and whether or not they were going to show some fighting-through-adversity (ala Bradford last year). Also as a Leeds fan I wanted to see how Griffin went as we had just loaned him to Salford. Would I have watched the same game last year? Not likely.

Debate all you want, talk about the figures all you want, just dont expect people to pretend you havent just said that you are ignoring a rise of 93k in viewing figures and focused on the figures which fit your agenda. To then completely contradict yourself in the very next post is also far too transparent. You are free to say whatever you want, just as i am free to call you on it when your mask slips

Haha that's the best case of head buried in sand ever........absolutely NO reason why the crowds were down for these games......NONE......the M62 was deserted tonight ![Rolling Eyes icon_rolleyes.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_rolleyes.gif) ........shame you only list reasons for the 2011 Hull/Wire game attendance and not all games, it's almost like you have an agenda
I'll save you the trouble......EVERY Salford game will be down this year.......shocking????.........No.....at least not to those of us with brains/or without agenda's

| I'd rather you stuck to just the avg rd stats, far too many variables to compare game for game. NRL has a really good crowd stats website going back decades, wish we had something similar.

And we got previously
2012 = 15,199
2011 = 9,064
2010 = 11,048
2009 = 13,996
2008 = 11,188
2007 = 10,074
2006 = 13,433......10,024
2005 = 13,236
2004 = 11,059......11,265
2003 = 10,785
2002 = 10,231......10,186
2001 = 7,592........8,913
2000 = 8,443
Average = 10,925
So even with motorway disruption it still got comfortably over the average of the last 17 fixtures.........but lets ignore that.......the agenda is 'RL IS DOOOOOOOMED'.......'8 TEAM PLAYOFFS ARE KILLING THE SPORT'!!!!!
I bet it was much better in the old days before Super League was invented...........1993 = 9,208.............or perhaps 1983 = 5,981...............oh dear ![Rolling Eyes icon_rolleyes.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_rolleyes.gif)
