Good news for sky.

I wonder if match day attendance is down overall by a similar amount.

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.

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.
