Wow, apart from a few outliers crowds were down across the board this year.

Michael Lynagh (62)
Reds were actually similar to last year, the difference being no sold out home final. Same goes for the Brumbies - difference being a sold out home final.
The Tahs' attendence is very worrying, 17k average is low for a city like Sydney. Falling 15% from 20k after having a better year and playing better rugby is not good. Hopefully the Tahs management can get punters back through the gates in 2014.
The drop in the Chiefs' attendence is suprising - they won the thing last year and lost 3k per game!
But yeah, drops across the board apart from a couple of teams - not a good sign.

Drastic changes have to be made. They should try and maximise the conferense matches. SA and NZ should make their ITM/CC part of the S15 with the derby matches. SA only have the Cheetahs who is two CC provinces but NZ have the challenge with their franchises. Or we should first play our CC and ITM and only let the top teams on the log participate in the business end of the S15 tournament. Way to much rugby as it is.

Reds regular season crowds were up but like you say they missed out in the home finals match to boost there overall average crowd figure like in 2011/2012.
Aggravating for league fans, but Reds likely to finish 2013 as the best supported sporting club(AFL/NRL/A-League)in QLD with the most members and highest average crowd, not a bad effort considering the Broncos are the best supported NRL team...

What's the source on these, they don't seem correct at all.
The Force, Rebels and Hurricanes would've had to have a couple games below 10k for these to be averages. I don't remember any of those.

What chainsaw bloke? I went to 4 games there this year (having just moved to Hamilton) and I don't recall a chainsaw fella. I do recall a lot of cowbells, which are kind of annoying but they are a long standing tradition. Ironically, cowbells work best when there is one or two of them carried by travelling fans.
One thing I would add, is that the NZ numbers look better when matched up to the size of the population centres. I mean it looks pretty ugly to see that on average only 13k people go to a game of rugby in Dunedin, until you remember that the population there is around 120k. Having an average crowd of over 10% of the population isn't too bad all things considered. The Chiefs also average over 10% of the population of Hamilton to their games. Imagine if 10% of Sydney decided to turn up to a rugby game - where would you put it?
