Ha not far off at all, however that hasn't taken into account ECC drop offs! 

(Unless that 25% decrease just in Pro14 wins?) 

So the basic inputs for increasing attendance are...

5339 - "base rate" fans attend regardless of other variables
5499 - More fans attend a game if it is against the Ospreys
1521 - Bank holiday increase (compared to Saturday night kick off)
1151 - More fans attend a European Champions Cup fixture
1122 - Extra fans per game due to winning the league in the previous season
147 - Extra fans per Welsh international playing
22 - Extra fans For every 1 percent increase in home wins in the current season

So for surefire max attendance would ideally be a ECC game against the Ospreys on a bank holiday with all our Welsh internationals playing having won most of our games that season and had been champs the season previous!

Yes, good points.

I would add that the Premiership Sports deal means that fans can watch every game (of every region) from the comfort of their own sofa.  Some may calculate that it's better value for money in abandoning live games and spending their money on Prem Sport subscription.

Agree, maybe it's backfired as I initially thought it would drive more fans to home games. That said, if they keep using their only HD channel for football instead, there will be a riot soon.

Most of our home games were in one TV channel or another last season anyway weren't they?

I think it has been a helpful demonstration that moving all your matches behind a paywall does not drive a lot of extra attendance.
Suggests that if you want to make ST holders out of armchair fans there is more to it than taking the matches off the TV.

Correct and yet people lambast Sky all the time for their charges but without them, much of our professional sport wouldn't exist.

Yes it's about creating a great experience. Complacent is probably the correct word too.

Handing out some flags and piping in music through the speakers is "something everyone does" but Scarlets should or could be thinking about how they can make the Parc a unique atmosphere.

(Doesn't have to be like the darts obviously)

(Total rises because Zebre was extra home game, but average per game down marginally)
Surely it was the same amount of home games because we played Cheetahs home in P14 QF?
