Keep in mind that last years figures may have set a relatively low reference figure due to it pi**ing it down all year. Hence giving giving many an excuse for not going to the game.



However, I suppose that could be offset by the financial situation facing many this year also! Perhaps balancing the two out!!



Gut feeling is:-

1) I thought the increase at Cas would have been more.

2) I thought Wakey's figure last year looks a bit high.

3) God know's how Celtic get over 3000

4) Huddersfield combined season tickets with football at a dirt cheap price.



etc etc etc!

The problem is we've had games such as Leeds and Warrington which are 2k down on what you would expect. The weather wasn't good and it was on Sky but we normally break the 10k for Leeds and 7k for Warrington.

So are the Wakey fans - whats left of us!!

To be fair to Sky, you have to understand why they choose the home game against Leeds because it's usually a cracking game with a fantastic atmosphere.



It would be nice to still have a full house for it though.

both games last year was on sky ?

And last year attendance against leeds was down on previous seasons as well, last time we played leeds at home and it wasnt on sky we got a fullhouse.

Turns out Wigan was 6574 and Celtic 6547 giving us a final average of 7490 which is down marginally from last season.

i would to be able to blame our attendances on the recession and poor weather but mostly this is down to the poor/terrible homes performances coupled with sky tv games and yes there being less £££ in the pocket.



interested to know how much our away gates have gone up.

Also that we played local teams more than once at home last year which will have boosted it as this season have been replaced by Celtic and Salford!

We were fortunate this year to play Quins in the first game and Celtic in the last game though I reckon. If they'd been mid-season, we wouldn't have had anywhere near the crowds we did.

On the other hand we have had more home sky games and games where our usual kick off time has been changed than most clubs. I reckon thats probabley knocked a thousand off our average.

Does anyone know how many season ticket holders there were?
