Champions Cup 15/16 - SF2 (Leicester Tigers vs Racing Metro 92)

[Regan]

Yeh and how many super rugby teams regularly have 20k crowds for regular season home games?

That's about the average.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Christ, the cheapest seats at this game are almost twice as expensive as the most expensive ticket for a SR game in NZ

SR attendance figures are significantly higher than ours.

As has been said, SR average is about 20k, the prem's is more like 12k.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

That's about the average.

I'm calling BS on that.

SA teams are the only ones to be averaging that

Its what happens when you put "money men" in charge of sport.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That's about the average.

Hurricanes average for this season, so far, is 13,251

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Leicester players shouldn't of been eating butter pre match

Attendances have been a lot better this season - some teams don't quite have stadiums of 20k seats either. Apart from the likes of the Kings/ Sunwolves attendances have been pretty good. Notably SA do put the averages up but NZ's attendances are pretty good considering the population.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Big shame for Freddie looking back to his best

 

[Regan]

Hurricanes average for this season, so far, is 13,251

Nah it's not.

Their first home game was at Palmerston North hence the low first crowd.

8264
15386
16103
22223

=15494

and if you take out that 1st game it's 17904. We get more at NZ derby matches logically (like last night) but 15386 isn't bad for a crowd in a game against one of the worst teams and Welly's history for poor turnouts. Definitely getting back to crowds we use to get.

Barrow having a terrible game. The 8 and 6 not doing great either.

That's bad. I got my tickets for the SR final last year for $55 each (and that was the 2nd best category).

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Would take being 7 points behind.

Bring
slater on @6
Harrison on @9
Soonish
Croft and Mulipola later on.

Expect a pack of
1) Mulipola
2) Bateman
3) Cole
4) Slater
5) Kitchener/Barrow/Fitz
6) Croft
7) Thacker
8) McCaffrey

To potentially finish the game

 

[ratsapprentice]

For a team with ambitions to be the biggest club in the world, and to have their own indoor arena... Bringing 500 odd fans to a euro semi final is truly embarrassing. There are bigger crowds at schoolboy games in some places.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Thacker doing alright in scrum ATM

Hopefully racing don't sub the LH

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Haha, I love when teams refuse to use the ball in the scrum trying to get a penalty and then get penalised themselves.

Yiss.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Thacker is just wow

 

[ratsapprentice]

Awful from Youngs.
