Viewing record set since Super League started.

43% higher than last years final.

10% upturn in viewing towards end of season.

Good news !

Good news for sky.

I wonder if match day attendance is down overall by a similar amount.
These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

The RFL/Super League should ask for an increased payment.

It was reduced by 790 which is approx 1% down. So having Salford in the final was really good in terms of overall interest. I'd say the general public want to see a few more teams with a chance of winning.

BTW the Wigan Warrington final attendence was 6000 down on the previous year.

It was pretty darn full from where I was sat, least till the bobbies arrived to sort out the morons in our section, that cleared a few seats :lol:

But if it was down on the day it was by very much.

Which end were you sat Alan? I’ve never seen police in the East stand before when Wigan have been in there 🤔
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

The RFL/Super League should ask for an increased payment.
And we give them money back for when the views are under average?

It’s business, there’s a contract, it doesn’t work that way. It should absolutely be used when discussing the next contract though.

It was a tongue in cheek statement.
