So you don't actually have a point then?

2010 - WIGAN, LEEDS, SAINTS and WARRINGTON all at home, HUDDERSFIELD have very near neighbours BRADFORD visiting



2009 - LEEDS v WAKEY, SAINTS v WARRINGTON, HULL v WIGAN



I make no apologies for providing the answer to why.

NRL 2012 1st Week = 149,888

NRL 2011 1st Week = 201,212



Opening NRL weekend attendances tumbled by over 25% last year.........OUCH!

I think it's only fair to shut down the NRL and have it go back to separate city comps

That's what happens when you don't advertise on refrigerated trucks.

It would appear not.

Unless his point was to prove that his original post was pointless in which case Kudos William.

You can make figures prove what you want - and as a now retired statistician I know what I'm talking about [size=50(for once!).[/size

The Guardian suggests that the crowd at Broncos v Widnes is actually up 700 on last years, from 2100 to just over 2800. By a process of making stats fit an agenda no matter what, attendances are clearly up by 33%. After all, who needs context when you've got an axe to grind, Mr. Eve?

Don't tell Nigel Wood's many fans on here. On those figures they'll demand he's made leader for life.

outstanding effort from Widnes fans who numbered well 0ver 1,000........with the number of ST holders down at the stoop as well as the number of walk upcasuals.

3,235 is the average for a visit south by Widnes.......Sundays crowd was below average, no matter how you want to polish the turd

I assume that you were at home, in front of the fire, avoiding the first of 27 rounds of meaningless fixtures ?
