The semi-final attendances have been published.

Leigh Leopards 12-10 St Helens
12,113 at the Halliwell Jones Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Hull KR 11-10 Wigan Warriors
10,926 at Headingley on Sunday afternoon.

Once again poor attendances, makes you wonder what the attendance for the final will be.

IMG need to start looking at improving attendance figures and setting reasonable prices for these type of matches.

Playing semi-final at a neutral ground is the first issue.

Put the semi finals over two legs home/away

I'm worried about the playoffs. They are poorly attended and the intensity is lower than a standard league match often.

so according to HKR they had sold 9.5k by middle of last week, so we only took 1k

i've commented on another thread about yesterday and there is no doubt there were more HKR fans than Wigan fans, however the allocation of stands was stupid. Surely, Wigan in the East, with KR in the South, and then any further sales went into the Western terrace. that way all fans purchasing up front are under cover, and would have improved the atmosphere (i.e. it would sound like there were Wigan fans there)

Not good attendances. But I wasn't there myself.

Also think there would have been more Wigan fans there if we weren’t in that western terrace, even when the draw was made the long range weather forecast predicted rain for most of the country for July.

Think I also mentioned on another thread that the head steward over the western terrace said it was ridiculous to put any supporters in that stand as it’s a disgrace!

But, it’s the best stadium in SL!!!

I get to games whenever possible and haven't ever backed out of a game but even after purchasing tickets and arranging travel I was considering just staying at home and watching on TV for the first time ever. Glad I didn't but it wasn't a particularly enjoyable experience to say the least

I think it was done for TV. If they had been sensible and not had any fans in the uncovered stand the ground would have looked half empty on TV given the way the cameras are set as they obviously don’t show the fans in the stand they face away from.

Typical Yorkshire ground, still outdated after all the money they have managed to get out of their deep pockets
