A lot's going to depend on the economy (I'm trying to work out how we can have a double dip recession when we haven't got out of the first one yet!). Widnes will obviously go up, plus Saints to do better than the last season at KR with the new ground, I would have had Salford down for a new ground increase but they're making such a pig's ear of things in the close season that we'll have to see. The other clubs will probably depend on how well they do - I think the game'll be doing well if we mark time on the overall season average (but could we get up to 4k in London - pretty please!)
Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently. Rosa Luxemburg, 'Die russiche Revolution'.

Fancy Hull to start fulfilling their potential, averaging around 15k with a winning team.

Our attendances held up remarkably well considering we had such an indifferent regular season, i'd expect a modest rise from 15,000 (2011), up to 15,500 to 16,000 for the coming campaign. I'm basing this on last seasons unexpected success and the number of young exciting players pushing through into the team. I'd expect increases at St Helens, Hull, Hull kr, Huddersfield(cheap ticket scheme) and obviously Widnes in superleague. I'd expect a drop at Bradford and possibly a slight decrease at Wigan and Castleford. How's your team going to fare and how many could you realistically be getting?
I'd agree with most of that, however I think Rovers avg. might go down this season with the building works. Hopefully they will break the magic 10k in the 2013 season though.

we've sold almost 6,000 season tickets so far, and I'd expect to end up with 10,000. So yes a 15K average is not unrealistic if we have a good season. A return to Sunday rugby should also increase away crowds a bit.
