[QUOTE="AlisterLees, post: 280685"] Edinburgh got their biggest "proper" attendance in the Magners on Saturday of 5,761 (the 12k attendance for last year's Glasgow game was predominantly down to free tickets for people who went to the Scotland Autumn tests). Yes Leinster always have a fair number of supporters but at least some of the new faces must have been from the success of the team and maybe even the revised kick off time. Hopefully, despite the last minute defeat, a fair few will come again as the team itself play entertaining rugby, are all (bar one) Scottish, if not local born and (for the time being) still top of the league! Similar to what has since happened in Wales, the Scottish "superclubs" have had to fight against the club scene and this was not handled very well here at all. They also have to compete with football for supporters. Whilst the Edinburgh attendance isn't that impressive on it's own, you compare it against the football crowds up in Scotland that day and it stands up pretty well. Certainly shows that there is a potential audience here. If you put this attendance in a reasonable sized ground it would also look a little more impressive than us rattling round Murrayfield. But that's a different matter.....! [/QUOTE]
