NRL Attendances 2011

Average attendances from 1999 to 2011 averaged 15,000 per game. In 2011, they were 16,200. I have put together a list of club attendances for 2011, the increase or decrease on 2010, and the last figure is the average since 1999. When a double header match was held, I divided up the attendance between them. How I did that was say one club had so far in the season had a two to one advantage in attendances over the other, that is how I divided the game attendance. Thankfully, there are not many of them.

1 Brisbane Broncos 33200 -2 27600
2 Necastle Knights 19200 +29 18100
3 West Sydney Tigers 17900 -1 14600
4 St George Illawarra 17400 +4 13900

15 Penrith Panthers 12300 -6 13400

So attendances dropped slightly on the previous year, but are well up on the 15,000 average for the past thirteen seasons.
