I‘d have Springer in black now tbh. At very least on the northern tour.

Patchy sums it up, I think, but it's hard to tell as most Unions seem to regard attendance numbers as top secret.

I know the Naki numbers were up 40% last year, had impression they were well up obviously from being there. I genuinely think the crowd numbers combined would be bigger or similar to combined crowds at Super games. I know there more games, but also smaller regions for each team.

Ref-san needs to ask himself the most basic question: how did that ball get from A to B & with such velocity without something(s) unlawful occurring?

How are the NPC attendance numbers this season? I feel it really dropped off the seasons after COVID. Are the numbers growing a bit again?

Essentially the numbers are solid outside of the main 5 Super Rugby centres

Taranaki have also reopened one of their main stands this year which will significantly contribute to their increase crowd figure.

I like what Wellington have done in shifting games to Porirua - a much more suitable venue as opposed to playing in front of an empty Cake Tin / Eden Park etc.

Day games also seem to get much better crowds than night games.

Waikato RU have only been using the main stand which is also the broadcast side & makes FMG look far emptier than it really is (that may change this weekend as it's a Shield game therefore likely to draw a bigger crowd than would normally turn up).

Based on occasional glimpses of crowds at other big venues I wonder if Aux, Cantabs & Otago are doing something similar to keep costs down.

Taranaki had biggest crowd in quite a few years (apart from '23 final) for Shield game on Saturday. It was a day game which was good. But they had good crowds most of last year.

Cantab get decent crowds for day games but Otago and Auckland get fuck all. Auckland actually got a decent little crowd when they played at Bell Park Pakuranga couple of years ago - they need to do that more. I believe they are playing a game at Auckland Grammar at some stage this year.
