News of our Demise was a Little Premature
The 2023 Betfred Super League season is on the brink of two significant attendance milestones ahead of the final round of matches before the Play-Offs this Friday night – and among a majority of clubs whose home crowds have increased year on year, the Challenge Cup finalists Leigh Leopards and Hull KR have posted their best figures since well before the start of Super League in 1996.

The cumulative attendance of 1,446,052 across the first 26 rounds is already the highest since the change in the competition format in 2019, which involved a significant reduction in the number of fixtures and another 53,948 when all six Round 27 matches are played on Friday night would break the one and a half million barrier for the first time in five years.

all this should be taken into account in the new sky deal - its a growing sport - it looks like average attendances are up, even in a cost of living crisis.

To merely have the same sky deal (or a bit less) is for me a huge fail.
Lets face it, everything has gone up hugely since the last deal, I know my sky bill certainly has, so a deal at the same level is a massive cut in real terms.






Wellens 3/10 Like public transport. Late, slow and stunk

It's considerably less in actual terms. As you say, in real terms, even moreso.
