Super League Attendance: Wigan Warriors, St Helens and Warrington Wolves impress

Well, that’s another round of Super League completed as we head into the business end of the season.

Proceedings started on Friday night when St Helens cast aside the Huddersfield Giants with ease in a 25-0, but Saints’ bitter rivals Wigan Warriors took the limelight with a huge 60-0 hammering of Hull FC.

Wind the clock forward to Saturday and Castleford Tigers were irrepressible in the heat at the Jungle with an important 35-22 triumph over Warrington Wolves, with Leeds Rhinos going down in the south of France to Toulouse Olympique in what proved to have massive consequences at the bottom of the Super League table.

That’s because Wakefield Trinity’s defeat to Hull KR this afternoon consigned Trinity to the bottom of the league whilst Salford Red Devils inflicted a surprise 32-6 defeat over Catalans Dragons.

But, just what did all the fixtures yield in terms of attendance?

The numbers at Wigan and St Helens stand out, with Hull taking a number of fans to the DW Stadium on Friday night – but they were probably wishing they hadn’t bothered!

Castleford’s home clash against Warrington was perhaps disappointing considering the Tigers have been averaging 8,000 in recent seasons, though the scorching weather may have put some people off – as may the live coverage on Sky Sports.

Toulouse’s home game against Leeds saw just over 4,000 spectators attend whilst Hull KR were able to yield over 7,000 fans for their home fixture against Wakefield.

Interestingly, the attendance at the AJ Bell Stadium for Salford’s clash with Catalans was not widely distributed.
