Bulls’ general manager Ryan Duckett fully backs the results of a new survey which says rugby league is the best value major spectator sport in the country.
It compared ticket prices to those in football and rugby union and revealed the average cheapest admission fee for engage Super League matches is £17.34, compared to £20 in the Guinness Premiership and £29.75 in the Barclays Premier League.
The figures also show the cheapest adult season ticket in Super League is £193.85, compared to £212.42 in the Premiership and £436.22 in the Premier League.
In addition, research by leading sports statistics company Opta shows that, in Super League, the ball stays in play for an average of 50 to 55 minutes during an 80-minute match, compared to 30 to 35 minutes in rugby union.
In football, the ball is in play for approximately 50 minutes during a 90-minute match.
Duckett said: “It all proves rugby league is the best value spectator sport around. This could be the best Super League season to date.”
