Where has this been stated?
I reckon:
Latics average 18,500, rugby average 14,500
Average away support at Latics is 3,500 (from the programme)
So even allowing for no away support at rugby, Latics still get more
There are probably 2,000 away fans on average at rugby games (when you consider Saints bring 7-8,000) so there home support is around 12,000 versus 14 v 15k of ours.
And their number includes around 1,500 a game who don’t actually turn up but they count anyway.
Latics only count those in attendance, the rugby count the number of tickets they’ve sold, or more often given away – a whole stand in the case of one game last year
You need to decide which side your on as if you’re going to come out with drivel like that then it’s clearly not ours. I’ve not seen anyone sticking up for Latics amongst the hatred filled liars and bullshitters over at RLfans.com.
