Ranking every Super League club by how full their stadium has been in 2024: Castleford Tigers SECOND, Wigan Warriors EIGHTH
‘Your ground’s too big for you!’ Or is it?
Last month, we brought you a ranking of every Super League club’s average attendance in 2024.
Now, we’ve taken those figures to bring you a further ranking – based upon the percentage of each club’s home venue filled throughout this year’s Super League season.
So, if a club averaged 100 supporters per game in a 1,000-seater stadium, they’d end up with a 10% return for our ranking.
No Super League club was quite that poor in 2024, but some weren’t far off.
LRL RECOMMENDS: Comparing every Super League club’s average attendance in 2024 to 2023 with 4 clubs down
Ranking every Super League club by percentage of ground filled in 2024
Four of the 12 top-flight clubs saw under 50% of their ground filled on average this year, including Huddersfield Giants and Hull FC, who both share their home venue with a football club.
Wigan Warriors also ground-share with Wigan Athletic, but the Cherry and Whites managed to creep up to an average of just over 59%-capacity at The Brick Community Stadium in 2024 en-route to lifting the Super League Leaders’ Shield.
Bitter rivals St Helens surpassed 72% in relation to their capacity at the Totally Wicked Stadium, with two other Super League clubs returning a higher total.
Those two include Hull KR, who actually top this ranking. Craven Park was over 80% full on average throughout 2024 – with the Robins managing to sell out on numerous occasions.
