Premiership Rugby trials "away ends" to boost attendance
bbc.com —
Premiership Rugby will trial "away ends" at two matches next month to enhance atmosphere and attendance. The games will feature designated areas for traveling fans to sit together, without full segregation. The matches include Saracens vs. Gloucester and Leicester vs. Harlequins. Away fans can choose to sit in a block, promoting a lively environment. Stadium occupancy in the Premiership has increased to about 81%, a 7% rise since 2023, as the league recovers from previous challenges.
